Immediately after delivering her “marry, kiss, or kill me” line, Taylor Swift sings lyrics about Travis Kelce that are perhaps her most obvious from “The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology.” She references a famous encounter from early in their relationship. “Get my car door, isn’t that sweet? / Then pull me to the backseat / No one’s ever had me, not like you,” Swift sings. On multiple occasions, the tight end was filmed opening the door for his girlfriend as the paparazzi took photos of the famous couple.
“So High School” has more than quick blips about Kelce, as Swift opened the second verse by mentioning their time together. “I feel like laughing in the middle of practice / To that impression you did of your dad again,” Swift sings. Of course, “practice” is a reference to the Kansas City Chiefs star working out with the team. The second part of that line is a reference to her boyfriend’s dad, Ed Kelce. In October 2024, Ed had kinds words for his son’s famous girlfriend, as he described Swift as “a very, very sweet, very charming, down-to-earth young woman,” when speaking to People.
Hearing Swift croon over Kelce on “So High School” is not surprising, as just weeks before “TTPD” dropped, a source told Entertainment Tonight that the couple were “in a great place.” The insider added, “Taylor views Travis as a true partner and someone she can have a real future with.”
