Travis Kelce has inspired several big hits of Taylor Swift, cementing his status as her latest muse.
According to InStyle, the singer-songwriter has a history of turning her relationships into catchy love songs and the occasional heartbreak anthem.
So Long London seemingly reminisces on her breakup with British actor Joe Alwyn, while All Too Well nods to a certain ex who still has her scarf.
Other tracks, including many from her 2025 album, The Life Of a Showgirl, contain references to the NFL star who won her heart and put a ring on her finger.
Here are some famous Taylor Swift songs inspired by his now husband Travis Kelce.
The Alchemy
Before her bejeweled Showgirl era, Swift released the moody record The Tortured Poets Department in April 2024.
Her fans speculated that the album was a post-mortem for her last two relationships pre-Kelce, namely, exes Alwyn and Matty Healy, but a few of the songs undeniably pointed to her new flame.
The Alchemy is chock-full of football references, including on the chorus, “So when I touch down / Call the amateurs and cut ‘em from the team.”
Later in the same track, Swift sings, “Where’s the trophy? He just comes running over to me.”
So High School
When Swift announced her engagement in an August 2025 Instagram post, she wrote in the caption that “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”
Swifties immediately decided it was a nod to her TTPD track So High School. That song details her literary knowledge and Kelce’s talent for sports in the lyrics, “You know how to ball, I know Aristotle / Brand new, full throttle.”
Wood
Swift got saucy on the shortest Showgirl track, Wood, which fans and critics have theorized is a flirty anthem to Kelce’s manhood.
The pre-chorus names Kelce and his brother’s New Heights podcast, “New Heights (New Heights) of manhood (Manhood) / I ain’t gotta knock on wood,” Swift sings.
Opalite
In an interesting twist on her usual allusions, Swift’s TLOAS song Opalite appears to reference one of Kelce’s exes, Kayla Nicole.
Singing about someone who just might be the NFL star, the artist included the lyrics, “You couldn’t understand it, why you felt alone / You were in it for real, she was in her phone / And you were just a pose.”
According to People, shortly after Opalite first dropped in October 2025, a video began circulating on social media of Kelce and Nicole on a date where he asked her to “get off (her) phone.”
