Alongside multiple possible references to her boyfriend Travis Kelce, 14-time Grammy Award winner Taylor Swift may have sang about Travis’ older brother, Jason Kelce, on one track of her new album ‘The Tortured Poets Department’.
On track 15, ‘The Alchemy’, Swift makes reference to someone being shirtless, drinking beer, and cheering. There are also references to chasing a championship.
It all fits with what Swift saw in person during the Kansas City Chiefs AFC Divisional round postseason game against the Buffalo Bills in January, where Jason Kelce and the ‘Anti-Hero’ singer shared a luxury box with the rest of the Kelce family.
Swift was in Buffalo to support Travis Kelce, who scored two touchdowns in the playoff victory, as was Jason, who ripped off his shirt in the freezing cold while drinking multiple beers.
Kelce hopped out of the luxury suite shirtless to celebrate with fans at one point too, and grabbed a female child to introduce her to Swift. According to Jason, this was the first time he and wife Kylie Kelce had met Taylor.

‘Shirts off and your friends lift you up over their heads/Beer sticking to the floor, cheers chanted 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/Touchdown!’ Swift sings.
Travis is a three-time Super Bowl champion, winning all of those championships, in the last five seasons with the Chiefs.
Jason won one Super Bowl, in 2018, and recently lost his championship ring in a chili pit while hosting a live version of the Kelce brothers podcast ‘New Heights’.
Fans of Swift’s believe there are multiple references to Travis Kelce throughout the album in ‘So High School’, as well as other parts of ‘The Alchemy’.

Other sports references could exist in ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ with Swift possibly making a nod to a romance with Formula One driver Fernando Alonso.
In ‘imgonnagetyouback’, there is a reference to an Aston Martin falling into a ditch. Alonso drives for Aston Martin in Formula One.
Swift has been publicly dating Travis Kelce since last September, when she attended a Chiefs game against the Chicago Bears.
Kansas City was 10-3 this season with Swift in attendance, including all four playoff victories in different cities.
