Speaking with PEOPLE, Dacus revealed her reaction to hearing her name in a Swift song, saying:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWell, I pushed play on the album just like, &#8216;Oh, this is so crazy.&#8217; This is the first Taylor record to come out since meeting her, and listening to a friend&#8217;s record feels so much different than a stranger&#8217;s record. So I was like, &#8216;This is really weird. This voice that I&#8217;ve heard basically what feels like my whole waking life saying my name.&#8217;\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This moment highlights how personal Swift\u2019s songwriting can be, leading fans to anticipate that Kelce, as a major figure in her life, will receive a similar nod in an upcoming track.<\/p>\n<h3>Travis Kelce\u2019s subtle presence in Swift\u2019s current music<\/h3>\n<p>While Kelce\u2019s name has yet to appear outright, Swifties are convinced he has already inspired multiple tracks on The Tortured Poets Department.<\/p>\n<p>The song The Alchemy, track 15 on the album, is heavily speculated to be about Kelce, given its romantic themes and references to triumph and teamwork\u2014terms synonymous with professional football.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the 22nd track, which features football metaphors and likens love to a high school romance, further fuels speculation that Kelce has already found a place in Swift\u2019s songwriting.<\/p>\n<p>If these subtle nods are any indication, a direct reference could be on the horizon.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83d\udea8\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8NEW TAYLOR SWIFT ALBUM &amp; 2026 TOUR INCOMING?<\/p>\n<p>Sources say Taylor is secretly working on a new album, set to drop later this year &#8211; drawing inspiration from her romance with Travis Kelce and evolving friendships like Blake Lively.<\/p>\n<p>Insiders at AEG claim she even wrote songs\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/hep9Ru7wXq\">pic.twitter.com\/hep9Ru7wXq<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Alex Kennedy (@AlexkennedyIran) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AlexkennedyIran\/status\/1897616686355829138?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 6, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h4>Will Travis Kelce get an actual name-drop?<\/h4>\n<p>Kelce has become a significant presence in Swift\u2019s life, often appearing by her side at public events and even supporting her during international tour stops.<\/p>\n<p>Given this, fans are eagerly awaiting whether Swift will immortalize him in song, just as she has done with past relationships.<\/p>\n<p>While Kelce himself has not commented on the speculation, if he does get name-checked, he may find himself in a position similar to Dacus\u2014stunned yet honored. And if history is any guide, Swift\u2019s lyrical tribute would likely be both heartfelt and memorable.<\/p>\n<p>Taylor Swift\u2019s ability to turn personal experiences into universally relatable songs is part of what makes her such a beloved artist. With her relationship with Kelce continuing to capture public fascination, it seems almost inevitable that he will be woven into her music in some way.<\/p>\n<p>Whether through subtle allusions or a full-blown name-drop, Swifties and NFL fans alike will be listening closely for Kelce\u2019s musical debut.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Taylor Swift has built a career on crafting deeply personal and intricately woven lyrics, often leaving Easter eggs for her fans to decipher.
