Did Taylor Swift put Travis Kelce “on the map”? Popstar’s final words in “The Alchemy” suggest as much

Is Taylor Swift in on joking about putting her boyfriend Travis Kelce on the map?

The pop star seemingly nods to the TikTok gag in her latest song, “The Alchemy.”

“It happens once every few lifetimes / These chemicals hit me like white wine,” Swift says in the song. “What if I told you I’m back?” / Hospital was a chore / Worst sleep I’ve ever had.’

She continues: “I circled you on a map / I haven’t been here in so long / But I’m coming back so strong.”

In November, a couple on TikTok went viral after one of them was dressed as Taylor while the other was a map of the United States with Travis’ face on it, confirming the singer’s claim that she is the origin of its fame.

Already a two-time Super Bowl winner before he started dating ahead of the 2023 NFL season, Kelce has enjoyed a 400% increase in sales of his Kansas City Chiefs replica jersey over the last year.

Following her third Super Bowl win in February — a contest Swift participated in and punctuated with a postgame kiss on the field — fans are noticing several references to her new beau in the hit The Tortured Poets Department.

Reacting to the lyrics about X, several Swifties shared: “Honestly, who are we fighting to fight The Alchemy? »

Meanwhile, a fan account of the artist tweeted: “Why does alchemy really look like a travy who got to the big game.”

Another fan wrote, “The chemistry has been stuck in my head all day.”

Travis, who hinted at another Swift song about him in her new album earlier this week, once addressed the running joke that he’s only famous as the popstar’s boyfriend in a episode of his podcast “New Heights” from November.

“And then” on the map. “Obviously putting my face on the map,” Travis told his older brother, Jason, during the episode. “Thanks Taylor. »

A fan dressed as a card with Travis' face on it and her boyfriend in full Taylor Swift cosplay.  The man slapped Travis' face on his partner's suit to signify that Taylor had put the NFL star on the map.

Earlier this week, Travis suggested that another song Taylor composed was about their romance.

As their romance continues to go from strength to strength, Travis and Taylor have made sure to support each other’s careers. He was spotted at several of Swift’s international destinations that were part of her Eras tour, while she attended 13 of his NFL games.

Travis’ Chiefs games also seemed to inspire Swift in “The Alchemy.”

“So when I land/Call the amateurs and cut them off the team,” she sings in the song’s chorus. ‘Ditch the clowns, get the crown / Baby, I’m the one to beat / ‘Cause the sign on your heart / I said it’s always reserved for me.’

She adds: “These guys are warming up the benches / We’re on a winning streak / He jokes that ‘It’s heroin, but this time with an E’.”

Swift was in Las Vegas when Travis and his Chiefs teammates won their second straight Super Bowl in February, while she was flying from Tokyo, where she was performing at the time.

After the team’s victory, Swift and Travis celebrated on the court, kissing passionately in front of the cameras — another moment apparently mentioned in “The Alchemy.”

“Take off your shirts and your friends rise above their heads / The beer sticks to the floor,” she sings. “Cheers went up because they said / ‘There was no chance of trying to be the best in the league’ / Where’s the trophy? It’s just coming running towards me.

Taylor appeared in 13 games for the Chiefs in the NFL last season, including the Super Bowl victory in Vegas.

Over the weekend, Travis saw his popularity reach new heights, as he shared behind-the-scenes footage of his inclusion in ZenWTR’s upcoming commercial.

ESPN’s Pat McAfee also gave his take on the Chiefs star’s high-profile romance with Swift, saying “two great lovers is great for society.”

Swift even sent several NFL WAGS gifts to celebrate the launch of the Tortured Poets Department, including notes, a vinyl record, and even sweatpants.

Fans of the Grammy Award-winning artist also suggest that Swift was targeting Formula 1 driver Fernando Alonso in her new album, as the singer was heavily linked to the Spaniard last year.
