Travis Kelce’s Top Three Favorite Taylor Swift Songs Clearly Show His Bias Towards Singer’s One Era and It’s Not Fans’ Top Pick at All
NFL player Travis Kelce is known for playing for the Kansas City Chiefs at the tight end position. Regarded as one of the greatest tight-end players of all time, Kelce is a nine-time Pro Bowler and seven-time All-Pro. But apart from his football career, Travis Kelce has also been in the news for his relationship with Taylor Swift.
Taylor Swift is one of the biggest artists in the world, known for her impeccable songwriting and the way she manages to pour her heart into her music. But her personal life is also something that has always attracted the attention of fans and the media. She released her eleventh studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, in April, which broke various sales and streaming records. Now, Travis Kelce has answered the question Swifties have been waiting to know: his favorite Taylor Swift tracks.
Travis Kelce reveals his top 3 favorite Taylor Swift songs
NFL player Travis Kelce hosted the second Kelce Jam music festival in Kansas City on Saturday. The music festival featured performances by Lil Wayne, Diplo, and 2 Chainz. During the red carpet interaction with The Schmo, he was asked about his top 3 favorite Taylor Swift songs. Kelce answered,
Blank Space, The Alchemy, and So High School.
It is no hidden fact that Swift writes about her real-life experiences, whether it’s heartbreak, being in love, or letting go of the past. She does it well. So it was obvious that The Tortured Poets Department was going to feature songs about Kelce, and two of his favorite Swift songs, The Alchemy and So High School, are allegedly about him.
The Alchemy seemingly references his football career and their relationship, while So High School possibly details the early stages of their relationship. The song is catchy, and the nostalgia might have appealed to the player enough to make it his favorite.
Talking about Blank Space is an electro-pop track inspired by the media’s scrutiny of the singer’s love life, which affected her girl-next-door image. The song is known as one of the best-selling singles of 2015 and was certified eight times platinum by the RIAA. It is regarded as one of T’s signature anthems.
The list is so random and mixed but understandable and everyone saying like BS isn't good deserve heII

Taylor Swift writes two songs directly about you – they BETTER make the top 3! Well done Trav. Can't blame him for Blank Space being top song – he is a 1989 baby.😆

While speaking to People, Travis Kelce added that he might be a little biased, which is why he’s going to pick So High School. The Kansas City Chiefs player had shared with Access Hollywood earlier,
I’m not gonna lie; I might be a little biased towards the Tortured Poets Department. Just a little bit. Just a little biased.

However, fans pointed out that Kelce only picked the songs from The Tortured Poets Department that were allegedly about him. They also noted that despite the album being a success, the songs Kelce mentioned were not that popular, so he picked the ones about him. A user stated that the football player said that he was a 1989 fan first, then Taylor Swift’s boyfriend.
Taylor Swift surprise audience with acoustic version of Guilty as Sin? in Stockholm concert
Swift, who is currently on her Eras Tour, decided to use the 89th show of her tour to perform a mashup of her songs from the 1989 album. For the second show in Stockholm, the singer decided to play The Tortured Poets Department’s Guilty as Sin? for the first time. She addressed the crowd before launching into the song. (Via NME)
Welcome to the acoustic session. When we’re doing a concert like this, it just doesn’t, it doesn’t feel like we’re even exerting any energy, and because you just fuel us the entire night. Thank you for being this kind of crowd. You know it just; it makes me want to play one of my favorite songs from ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ that I’ve never played live before.
Guilty as Sin? was followed by her playing songs from the Vault Version of the 1989 album for the mash-up. The singer will continue to play shows across Europe before heading to the UK and Ireland in June. She will start the second North American leg in November.
Swift and Kelce were recently spotted enjoying their time at Lake Como in Italy after she wrapped up a series of shows in Paris for the Eras Tour.
