Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s romance: a lyric-filled tribute

Swift created the football tight end’s signature gesticulation while performing “Midnight Rain.”

Playful On-Stage Tribute

During a recent concert, Taylor Swift playfully smiled and struck a pose while singing the line, “And he never thinks of me, except when I’m on TV,” from her song “So High School.”

This gesture elicited a huge cheer from the audience, adding fuel to fans’ speculation about the song’s inspiration.

Fans have long theorized that “So High School,” a track filled with poignant lyrics and references, is about Swift’s relationship with NFL star Travis Kelce.

This theory gained further traction when Kelce himself seemed to confirm it on the latest episode of the “Bussin’ with the Boys” podcast.

Kelce’s Connection to Swift’s Music

On the podcast, Kelce discussed his favorite Taylor Swift songs, revealing that he began listening to her music seriously with the release of her album 1989.

He shared, “Like I knew who she was before that, we were the same age, so through high school and everything I knew who Taylor was and she was like getting her career started.”

Top Three Swift Songs

Kelce ranked “Black Space” and “Cruel Summer” as his top two favorite Swift songs. However, he reserved the third spot for “So High School” due to its “sentimental meaning.”

While addressing the suggestion that he might be featured in the song, Kelce even quoted its lyrics, adding, “I think so, I think so, you know what I’m saying. You know how to ball, I know Aristotle.”

A Special Connection

Swift’s on-stage tribute, even in Kelce’s absence, is no surprise given the special nature of their relationship. A source previously told PEOPLE that their romance is unique and meaningful. “He is a gentleman. He is very focused on his career.

He has a great relationship with his family. He has an amazing energy and approach to life. It all feels very special,” the source shared.

This playful on-stage moment and Kelce’s heartfelt acknowledgment of Swift’s music highlight the genuine connection between the two, adding another layer to their unfolding romance.
