Did Taylor Swift Reference Travis Kelce on New Album? Lyrics Raise Eyebrows

Taylor Swift's much-anticipated 11th album, The Tortured Poets Department (TTPD), has finally been released—and fans have already spotted what seems to be a reference to Travis Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end and Swift's boyfriend.

Two hours after TTPD dropped at midnight, fans learned that Swift was releasing a secret double album. The second part is titled The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology and includes 15 extra songs. As TTPD is made up of 16 new songs—including collaborations with Post Malone and Florence + The Machine—this takes the total of newly released songs to 31. Fans also noticed that 31 is 13 backwards, and 13 is known as Swift's lucky number.

The album was released two months after Swift announced it while accepting the Grammy Award for Best Album in February. Fans have been scouring the lyrics to the new songs and noticed that Kelce seems to be referenced in "So High School," track 22 on the double album.

"Are you gonna marry, kiss or kill me? Kill me. It's just a game, but really, really, I'm betting on all three for us two," Swift sings in the song.

The lyrics seem to reference a seven-year-old video interview of Kelce in which AfterBuzz TV's Kristina Zias asks him to play the forced-choice question game "Kill Marry Kiss." Kelce is provided with three options—Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande and Katy Perry—and asked which one he would kiss, marry and kill.

"Damn, that's messed up. I don't want to kill any of them," he said.

Zias adds that it's "just a game." According to the interview, Kelce says he would "unfortunately" kill Grande.

"Love you, but you're gone," he said. "Taylor Swift would be the kiss, and then Katy Perry would be the marry."

Newsweek reached out to Swift's publicist by email for comment.

It didn't take long for fans to remember the resurfaced clip and spot the reference in "So High School."

"'Are you going to marry, kiss or k!ll me' – so high school She saw this clip," one user said.

"So High School and The Alchemy finding out they were travis songs," one person said with a gif of two women chest bumping.

"Mr So High School," another added, including a photo of Kelce.

"notice how so high school isn't riddled with anxiety, a true love song," one said.

"SO HIGH SCHOOL ????????? THIS IS WHAT WE HAD BEEN WAITING FOR WHY ISNT EVERYONE SCREAMING ABOUT THIS ?????????????" another implored.

"So High School is so tayvis coded and I will not be taking questions at this time," one user said.

Kelce hasn't made public comment about the song, but he did reportedly listen to all of the tracks, according to a report by the Daily Mail. Last month, a source also told Us Weekly that Swift wrote two love songs about Kelce that were included on the album.
