- Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce announced their engagement via Instagram on Tuesday, Aug. 26.

- The couple has been together since 2023.

- A couple of songs of *The Tortured Poets Department *are likely inspired by the NFL star.

Big news from pop culture's favorite power couple: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are officially engaged.

The global pop star and Kansas City Chiefs tight end announced the big news on Aug. 26 via Instagram, sharing five photos from the proposal with the caption, "Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married 🧨."

Since they began dating in 2023, Swift and Kelce haven't been shy about showing off their love. Whether it's Kelce supporting her on the Eras Tour, Swift cheering from the stands at Chiefs games, or her record-breaking guest appearance on his *New Heights *podcast, the couple has consistently shown up for each other.

Given the singer's past chronicling of her personal life through song, it's no wonder Swifties believe her relationship with Kelce has made its way into her music. Swift's 2024 double album, *The Tortured Poets Department* (and its companion, *The Anthology*), sparked plenty of speculation that her now-fiancé inspires some of the lyrics.

So, which Swift songs might be about Kelce? Read on for **'s complete guide to every track fans think nods to her Super Bowl-winning beau.

"The Alchemy"

Many fans assume the bulk of Swift's *TTPD* is about 1975 frontman Matty Healy, but she also seems to highlight a new, significant love in her life. One standout track, "The Alchemy," is widely believed to reference Kelce.

The song's lyrics blend themes of unbreakable love with overt football imagery that perfectly align with Kelce's world.

Lines like "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" evoke both romantic confidence and clear sports metaphors, bringing to mind her powerhouse partnership with Kelce.

End game, after all: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are engaged

Later on in the track, Taylor sings, "These blokes warm the benches / We've been on a winning streak," a potential nod to her fiancé's fierce competitiveness and success in professional sports and beyond.

The bridge is perhaps the most striking wink: "Shirts off, and your friends lift you up, over their heads / Beer stickin' to the floor, cheers chanted 'cause they said / 'There was no chance tryna be the greatest in the league' / Where's the trophy? He just comes, running over to me."

This charmed imagery aligns closely with Kelce's triumphant moment at Super Bowl LVIII, where he celebrated the Chiefs' victory against the San Francisco 49ers and reunited with Swift on the field.

Put it all together, and "The Alchemy" arguably isn't just a love song; it's a not-so-subtle tribute to her personal MVP.

"So High School"

Swift's nostalgic track "So High School" is a love letter to that dizzy, butterflies-in-your-stomach feeling of young love — and fans are convinced it's about Kelce.

Right from the start, Swift sets the scene with teen heartthrob vibes:  "I feel so high school every time I look at you / I wanna find you in a crowd just to hide from you."

Swifties have even picked up on the line about a romance blooming "in the blink of a crinkling eye," believing it's a cheeky nod to Kelce's eye crinkles that appear when he flashes his trademark smile.

In the chorus, Swift sings about "fingers entwined" and "cheeks pink in the twinkling lights," which could reference the glowing stadium lights at her concerts and Chiefs games. It's those small shared moments that make the song feel personal and intimate.**

One lyric has Swift wondering, "Are you gonna marry, kiss, or kill me / It's just a game, but really / I'm bettin' on all three for us two." This is likely a playful callback to a 2016 interview where Kelce played "Kiss, Marry, Kill" and famously said he'd kiss Swift when asked to choose between her, Ariana Grande, and Katy Perry.

Swift also hints at Kelce's gentlemanly side with "Get my car door, isn't that sweet? / Then pull me to the backsеat / No one's evеr had me, not like you." Fans connected this to a viral moment when Kelce helped her out of a car in New York.

The track also contrasts their respective fields with lyrics like, "Truth, dare, spin bottles / You know how to ball, I know Aristotle," highlighting Kelce's football career and Swift's poetic lifestyle. She even called back to this characterization in their engagement post, which dubs her the "English teacher" and him the "gym teacher."
