Is Taylor Swift’s ‘The Alchemy’ About Travis Kelce? See the Lyrical Football References

Published

on

On Taylor Swift’s new album The Tortured Poets Department, the pop superstar, 34, sings about an undeniable love on the penultimate track “The Alchemy” — and some of the lyrics on the ballad are raising eyebrows.

Throughout the song, Swift — who’s currently in a relationship with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce — includes football and sports references.

“So when I touch down/ Call the amateurs and cut ’em from the team/ Ditch the clowns, get the crown/ Baby I’m the one to beat,” she sings.

However, it’s unclear who Swift is singing about, as she goes on to reference a lover from her past. “‘Cause the sign on your heart said it’s still reserved for me/ Honestly, who are we to fight the alchemy.”

However, it’s unclear who Swift is singing about, as she goes on to reference a lover from her past. “‘Cause the sign on your heart said it’s still reserved for me/ Honestly, who are we to fight the alchemy.”

Later in the song, the Grammy winner makes another sports reference. “These blokes warm the benches/ We’ve been on a winning streak,” Swift sings, noticeably including a commonly used word in the U.K.

Some fans speculated the following line could be referencing her ex Matty Healy, who has been open previously about his struggles with heroin use. “He jokes that it’s heroin but this time with an ‘e,'” she sings.
