Taylor Swift’s Whisper: Travis Kelce’s Name Hidden in ‘So High School’ Lyric Video

Taylor Swift gave her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, a sweet clue that “The Tortured Poets Department” track “So High School” is about him, seemingly confirming her fans’ suspicions.

In the lyric video for the heartwarming song, the pop superstar, 34, strategically highlights her and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end’s initials at the 45-second mark.

The words on the screen read at that point, “Cheeks pink in the twinkling lights/ tell me ’bout the first time you saw me,” with the “T” and “K” in twinkling and the “T” and “S” in lights appearing in pink while all the other letters are white.

“TK AND TS HIGHLIGHTED IN PINK OMGDMSMDMSMD,” one Swiftie pointed out via X Friday.

Another fan then chimed in, “She’s so in love and I’m here for it.”

Kelce, also 34, then appeared to drop a hint himself that Swift wrote “So High School” about him via a post shared on the X account for his podcast, “New Heights,” on Friday.

The clip shows the NFL star impersonating his father, Ed Kelce, and is captioned, “Those Papa Kelce impressions are just too good.”

In a part of “So High School,” Swift sings, “I feel like laughin’ in the middle of practice / To that impression you did of your dad again.”

Prior to the couple releasing these subtle confirmations, Swifties had already been theorizing that the pop track was about Travis given a host of other reasons.

One person pointed out that the Grammy winner singing, “Are you gonna marry, kiss or kill me? (Kill me),” was a direct reference to a game the pro athlete once played with AfterBuzz TV.

In a viral clip from 2016, Travis was asked whom he would “kiss, marry or kill” between Swift, Katy Perry and Ariana Grande.

He then chose to kill the “Thank U, Next” singer, 39, marry the “California Gurls” songstress, 39, and kiss his now-girlfriend.

Swift also sings on the track, “Get my car door, isn’t that sweet? (That sweet) / Then pull me to the back sеat (Back seat),” which fans claimed was a reference to their first public date night in October 2023.

During that outing, the podcaster was photographed opening the car door for the “Lover” singer.

Aside from “So High School,” Swifties also believe “The Alchemy” is about Travis since it includes references to touchdowns, winning streaks, trophies, cheers and being the best in the league.

However, the Super Bowl champ is not the only man with whom Swift has been romantically involved that got a few songs written about him on her 11th studio album.

The “Fortnight” singer also wrote tracks about her exes Matty Healy and Joe Alwyn.

However, Travis is reportedly unbothered over Swift using her former lovers as inspiration for her music.

“If it is about Joe [Alwyn], or anyone, even if it is about him in the future, this is the artist she is and he is in love with her and doesn’t pay any attention to be jealous,” a source recently told the Daily Mail.

“He understands this is a major part of what makes her the person and artist she is and he is no way looking to thwart the direction she takes.”

On Friday evening, Swift shared an intimate home video of her with Travis following the release of her highly anticipated album, further proving that the pair are still going strong.
