How Travis Kelce Feels About Taylor Swift’s Tortured Poets Department Songs; Travis Kelce is proud of Taylor Swift after she dropped her new album, The Tortured Poets Department, on April 19 with nods to their romance reaching new heights.

A source told E! News how “proud” Travis Kelce is of Taylor Swift after she dropped her new album, The Tortured Poets Department, on April 19 with nods to their romance reaching new heights.

Travis Kelce is officially enrolling in the Tortured Poets Department. “Travis is so supportive of the entire album,” a source tells E! News, “and loves that he is a part of Taylor’s story.” The insider added, “He is very proud of her.” After all, the NFL player had a sneak peek at her latest work of art, which turned out to be a double album with references to her exes Joe Alwyn and Matty Healy.

“I have heard some of it, yes, and it is unbelievable,” Travis shared at a sports media event in February. “I can’t wait for her to shake up the world when it finally drops.” And some lyrics may seem extra familiar to the Super Bowl champ, as Taylor appeared to give him some adorable shoutouts on the songs “The Alchemy” and “So High School.” “Are you gonna marry, kiss or kill me?” she sings on the latter. “It’s just a game, but really I’m bettin’ on all three for us two.”

The line seems to reference a throwback video of a much younger Travis playing “kiss, marry, kill” with Taylor, Katy Perry and Ariana Grande. For the record, he said he’d marry Katy and kiss Taylor—something he’s been doing an awful lot of these days. Earlier this month, the couple locked lips while enjoying a wild date night at Coachella 2024, where they danced together in the crowd to Jack Antonoff’s and Ice Spice’s sets.

The “Cruel Summer” artist then gave fans a more personal look at their romance while promoting her lead single “Fortnight” on April 19, sharing home video footage of Travis giving her a kiss on the cheek while she cooked dinner at home. To learn more about what inspired Taylor’s new album The Tortured Poets Department, grab your quill pens and read on. “Fortnight” (featuring Post Malone): In the first track of TTPD, Taylor Swift and Post Malone team up to sing about a “temporary” romance that lasted for a fortnight (two weeks).

“And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” the lyrics tease. “I touched you, for only a fortnight.” It appears the song is a reference to Taylor’s rekindled romance with The 1975’s Matty Healy, which first began in 2014 and revived a decade later in the spring of 2023 following her breakup with Joe Alwyn. And although the revival of Taylor and Matty’s relationship was brief, it was jam-packed with emotion, according to these lyrics.

She told iHeartRadio the opening number is “fatalistic” just like the rest of the “tragic” album. “The Tortured Poets Department”: While fans previously pointed out the connection between the album’s name TTPD and Joe’s WhatsApp group chat called “The Tortured Man Club,” the titular song actually includes references to Matty. Even the track’s opening lyrics, “You left your typewriter at my apartment,” gives a nod to Matty, who noted he “really” likes typewriters in a 2019 interview with GQ.

Later on in the song, the lyrics offer more insight into Taylor and Matty’s strong bond. Taylor even recalls, “At dinner you take my ring off my middle finger and put it on the one people put wedding rings on. And that’s the closest I’ve come to my heart exploding.” Taylor’s lyrics also include shoutouts to poet Dylan Thomas—”you’re not Dylan Thomas”—and singer-songwriter Patti Smith—”I’m not Patti Smith.” As well as Charlie Puth. “You smoked then ate seven bars of chocolate / We declared Charlie Puth should be a bigger artist.”
