Swift’s twelfth album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” is dominated by love songs evidently impressed by Kelce.
The album opens with “The Fate of Ophelia,” which appears to recount Swift’s first impression of Kelce publicly taking pictures his shot.
“I heard you calling on the megaphone / You wanna see me on their own,” she sings. “As legend has it, you might be fairly the pyro / You gentle the match to observe it blow.”
The refrain contains extra obvious nods to Kelce: “Hold it 100 on the land, the ocean, the sky / Pledge allegiance to your fingers, your crew, your vibes / Do not care the place the hell you have been, ‘trigger now, you are mine.”
A number of months prior, Kelce wrote “stored it 100” in his Instagram caption, probably as a sneaky Easter egg for followers. Swift pledging allegiance to her lover’s crew additionally evokes her newfound devotion to the Chiefs.
Swift told Capital FM that the title of the album’s third monitor, “Opalite,” is a nod to Kelce’s birthstone.
“I had written down the phrase ‘opalite’ as a result of I realized that it is really a man-made opal,” she defined. “I believed it was type of a cool metaphor that it is a man-made opal, and happiness may also be man-made.”
Elsewhere on the album, Swift provides peeks into her pre-marital bliss. “Eldest Daughter” options references to marriage and marriage ceremony vows (“I am by no means gonna break that vow / I am by no means gonna depart you now”), whereas “Wi$h Li$t” sees Swift fantasizing a few home, suburban life along with her muse (“Have a pair youngsters, bought the entire block trying such as you”). Within the album’s ninth monitor, “Wooden,” Swift even name-drops Kelce’s podcast (“New Heights of manhood”).
