While the Kansas City Chiefs are getting ready for a possible third consecutive Super Bowl win, and their social media account is reminiscing about their previous championship victories.
The Chiefs official account on X, previously known as Twitter, shared a picture of the team's four Lombardi Trophies. They captioned the photo on April 23, "We been on a winning streak… 😉," and this immediately caught the attention of Taylor Swift‘s fans.
The post received over 14,000 likes and 908,000 views, and it paid tribute to Swift's song, "The Alchemy," from her latest album, "The Tortured Poets Department." The lyrics of the song seem to be inspired by her boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
Swift, who attended 13 Chiefs games last season, including flying halfway across the world to watch the Super Bowl in Las Vegas, seems to depict this experience in "The Alchemy."
She sings:
So when I touch down, call the amateurs and cut 'em from the team.
Ditch the clowns, get the crown, baby I'm the one to be.
'Cause the sign on your heart said it's still reserved for me.
Honestly, who are we to fight the alchemy?
These blokes warm the benches,
We been on a winning streak.
Swift sings in the bridge:
Shirts off and your friends lift you up over their heads,
Beer stickin' to the floor, cheers changed 'cause they said
“There was no chance trying to be the greatest in the league”
Where’s the trophy? He just comes running over to me.
A Swift fan account responded to the Chiefs’ post, “OH MY GOD THE CHIEFS ARE TAYVIS NATIONING ON MAIN RN.” Another Swiftie replied, “Is this the Sports Division of the Tortured Poets Department?
Chiefs OC Matt Nagy Commented on the Attention Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce’s Relationship Brings to Kansas City

The Chiefs’ nod to the 14-time Grammy winner comes shortly after offensive coordinator Matt Nagy spoke about Swift and Kelce’s relationship. Speaking to KCTV5’s Jared Koller on April 22, Nagy was asked about the worldwide attention the Chiefs are getting amid their romance and what that was like.
“It’s definitely rare for sure, I mean you’re talking about Taylor Swift and Kelce and Patrick [Mahomes],” Nagy said. “I know Patrick and ‘Kelc’ as the people they are away from the different concerts and golf venues etc. I know them on a day-to-day basis.”
Like Chiefs general manager Brett Veach, Nagy has not yet met Swift in person, but he had only good things to say.
“We love having her a part of the family, the team, what she and ‘Kelc’ have done is a cool story,” Nagy continued. “I think it’s a credit to both of them to be two big, powerful people that are also so humble in what they do, and they’re so talented at what they do, whether it’s football or singing. So, we’re enjoying the journey. We’re proud to be a part of it, and we want to keep it going.”
Taylor Swift Appears to Reference Travis (and Ed) Kelce on ‘So High School’

Swift surprised her many fans by announcing that “TTPD” was actually a double album when it was released last week. In the song, “TTPD: The Anthology,” fans thought that the track, “So High School,” was possibly about the All-Pro tight end. The 34-year-old singer seemed to confirm the rumors with an undisclosed reference to Kelce in the official lyric video.
In “So High School,” Swift sings, “I feel like laughing in the middle of practice/Do that impression you did of your dad again,” which appears to be a reference to Ed Kelce.
Travis and his older brother, Jason Kelce, regularly imitate their dad on “New Heights.” Several hours after the song’s release, the podcast’s official account on X shared a clip of the brothers teasing Ed on their show.
A fan account responded, “Congratulations that Travis & his dad have made it to his Taylor’s album.” Another Swift fan commented, “I see you’ve listened to so high school 😏.”
