Jason Kelce a Taylor Swift lyric. Why not?

Listen to the 15th track “The Alchemy” or the 22nd track, “So High School” on Taylor Swift’s just-released Tortured Poets Department album and you’ll realize the lyrics refer to boyfriend Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, writes Laura Swartz for Philadelphia Magazine.

This is not a surprise. Taylor is dating Travis, after all, and she’s known for planting Easter eggs on her albums for her fans to decipher.

But dig just a little deeper and you’ll realize retired Eagles player Jason Kelce, taking up residence in Haverford, is in there, too.

The bridge in “The Alchemy” reads, “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, trying to be the greatest in the league’.

If you recall, Jason Kelce took off his shirt to celebrate a Kansas City Chiefs touchdown during the NFL playoff game between Kansas City and Buffalo Bills.

He was clutching a beer can at the time, leaning out of the stadium luxury box, next to Swift.

There are other references to the Kelce brothers, particularly to things said in their New Heights podcast.

Find out what other Jason and Travis Kelce references appear in Taylor Swift’s new album songs in Philadelphia.
