In the lyric video for her latest song ‘So High School,’ Taylor Swift appears to have sent a covert message to her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, escalating speculation about the song being inspired by their relationship. At the 45-second mark of the video, Swift strategically highlights the initials ‘TK’ and ‘TS,’ coinciding with the lyrics mentioning “twinkling lights.” Fans were quick to notice this subtle nod, with one enthusiastic Swiftie exclaiming, “TK AND TS HIGHLIGHTED IN PINK OMGDMSMDMSMD!”
Adding fuel to the fire, Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, seemed to confirm the speculation with a cryptic post on his podcast ‘New Heights’ X account. The post showed Kelce impersonating his father, with the caption reading, “Those Papa Kelce impressions are just too good.” This post matched lyrics in the song where Swift sings about laughing at an impression Kelce did of his father.
Before these hints, fans had already been speculating about the song’s subject, pointing to various lyrical clues. References to a game Kelce played with AfterBuzz TV and their first public date night in October 2023 were cited as evidence supporting the theory. Additionally, Swift’s fans believe another track from her album ‘The Alchemy’ is also about Kelce, noting references to touchdowns, winning streaks, and being the best in the league.
Despite being a muse for Swift’s music, Kelce doesn’t seem bothered by her drawing from her past relationships for inspiration. A source close to the couple told Page Six, “He understands this is a major part of what makes her the person and artist she is and he is in no way looking to thwart the direction she takes.”
In a display of their enduring relationship, Swift shared an intimate home video of her and Kelce on Friday evening following the release of her highly anticipated album ‘The Tortured Poets Department.’ As speculation continues to circulate about the inspiration behind Swift’s songs, fans are eagerly awaiting further clues that may illuminate the pop superstar’s personal life.
