Taylor Swift’s Romantic Ode to Travis Kelce: A Couple Kids

Taylor Swift sang about wanting to have ‘a couple kids’ with fiancé Travis Kelce in a track from her latest album. 

The superstar, 35, unleashed her 12th album, The Life of a Showgirl, on Friday, with a number of her songs seemingly dedicated to her NFL star beau, 35.

On ‘Wi$h Li$t’ Swift — whose album also featured her raunchiest track to date, dedicated to Kelce’s ‘manhood’ — detailed what she wants out of her relationship.

‘I just want you / Have a couple kids, got the whole block lookin’ like you / We tell the world to leave us the f**k alone … and they do.’

‘Wow / Got me dreamin’ ’bout a driveway with a basketball hoop / Boss up, settle down, got a wishlist / I just want you,’ she goes on. 

‘I made wishes on all of the stars / Please, God, bring me a best friend / Who I think is hot / I thought I had it right once, twice, but I did not / You caught me off my guard / I hope I get what I want / ’Cause I know what I want.’

Swift also released her sexiest song yet with her track Wood.

The singer croons about how she ‘ain’t gotta knock on wood’ since she and her lover can ‘make our own luck.’

‘And baby, I’ll admit I’ve been a little superstitious / The curse on me was broken by your magic wand / Seems to be that you and me, we make our own luck.’

At one point, she even references the NFL star’s podcast with his older brother Jason Kelce as she sings in one of the pre-choruses of the song.

‘New Heights of manhood / I ain’t gotta knock on wood,’ she sings, before adding that ‘His love was the key / That opened my thighs.’

Even at the beginning of the song, she not-so-subtly references her and the football player’s bodies together.

‘Forgive me, it sounds cocky / He ah-matized me / And opened my eyes.’

She sings: ‘Redwood tree / It ain’t hard to see / His love was the key / That opened my thighs.’

On the ninth track of the song, she also referenced their engagement.

‘Girls, I don’t need to catch the bouquet, mm / To know a hard rock is on the way,’ Swift croons in the second verse of the tune.

Hours before The Life of a Showgirl officially dropped, all 12 tracks leaked online in low-quality audio across Discord and other platforms. 

Within minutes, Swifties were dissecting every verse, from the scathing to the swoon-worthy, sparking feverish speculation about whether she was singing about her fiancé Travis or rumored industry rivals like Charli XCX and Olivia Rodrigo.

The record marks a major milestone for Swift: her first as an engaged woman, following Kelce’s romantic, garden proposal in August 2025.

It also ushers in a bold new era for the 14-time Grammy winner, who ditched her longtime collaborator Jack Antonoff for the first time in over a decade.

Instead, she co-produced the album with pop powerhouses Max Martin and Shellback, pairing her sharpest storytelling with their high-gloss, hit-making touch.

Alongside the music, Swift unveiled a daring new visual aesthetic, embodying a sultry Vegas showgirl for the album’s imagery. 

The title itself, she revealed, was inspired by her days juggling her record-breaking Eras Tour, which spanned 21 months, and late-night studio sessions in Sweden.

‘I would do like three shows in a row, have three days off, fly to Sweden, go back to tour — I was physically exhausted but so mentally stimulated,’ Swift recalled on her husband-to-be’s New Heights Podcast over the summer. ‘I was just so excited to be creating.’ 

In August, Kelce teased to his listeners that he couldn’t stop ‘listening to this album’ and had ‘been dancing throughout the house’ to it. 

‘I know she mentioned that it’s gonna be a lot more pop beats, but it’s just still so poetic in her melodies and her references and stuff,’ he assured Swifties. ‘It’s just so much fun to listen to.’ 

He also gushed his favorite track was Opalite. 

Kelce was reportedly only one of five people who have been granted access to the new album which has been kept under wraps in an encrypted folder.

Others include Swift’s formidable publicist Tree Paine, an unidentified studio engineer, and Max Martin and Shellback who both helped to produce the music.

The Life of a Showgirl follows Swift’s 2024 record, The Tortured Poets Department, which shattered records before it was even released.

Last month, Swift announced she was having a theatrical release party to celebrate her record, which will play across 540 AMC theaters this weekend. 

Fans will see the exclusive world premiere of the Fate of Ophelia music video, plus behind-the-scenes footage, lyric videos and personal insights from Swift herself.

The special theatrical release is slated to be 89 minutes long. 

It is expected to rake in around $30-$50million, per Deadline – and presale tickets reached $15 million over the span of 24 hours since the event’s announcement.

Ticket prices sit at $12 – which was decided by the award-winning performer herself.
