00:00Forgive me, it sounds cocky
00:02He hypnotized me and opened my eyes
00:05Redwood tree, it ain't hard to see
00:07His love was the key to open my skies
00:10Taylor Swift's 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl,
00:13dropped Friday at midnight, and as many fans expected,
00:16it includes several nods to the singer's fiancée, Travis Kelsey.
00:20From lyrics about wanting to settle down
00:22to a jaw-dropping New Heights of Manhood line,
00:25Page Six is breaking down all the new tracks
00:27that seemingly reference Swift's romance with the NFL star.
00:31Starting with track one, The Fate of Ophelia
00:34Swift wastes no time commemorating the early days of her romance with Kelsey,
00:38she seemingly sings about how the athlete swooped in and made the first move.
00:42The song implies that he saved her heart from the fate of Ophelia,
00:46a character from Shakespeare's famous Hamlet tragedy.
00:49Back in August, Swifties immediately theorized that the third track, Opalite,
00:53could be in reference to Kelsey.
00:55The three-time Super Bowl champion was born on October 5th, 1989,
01:00meaning his astrological sign is Libra and his birthstones are Opal and Tourmaline.
01:05Swift's track three, Opalite, follows the story of someone who had a bad habit
01:09of finding relationships that were never gonna last,
01:12with lyrics about living with ghosts and believing they were haunted forever.
01:17Until, of course, everything changed.
01:19On the Capital Breakfast show, Taylor Swift confirmed that the song Opalite is indeed Travis's favorite.
01:25Track five, Eldest Daughter.
01:27When you found me, I said I was busy.
01:29That was a lie.
01:30Swift hums on the album's catchy fifth track.
01:33I have been afflicted by a terminal uniqueness.
01:36I've been dying just from trying to seem cool.
01:40Some Swifties believe those lyrics specifically reference Kelsey's previous admission
01:44about not wanting to meet the singer at her 2023 Kansas City era's tour stop.
01:49At the time, Swift was still fresh off her split from the 1975 frontman Maddie Healy,
01:55whom the singer wrote several songs about on her last album, The Tortured Poets Department.
02:00Track eight, Wishlist.
02:02The pop star has a wishlist, and starting a family with Kelsey appears to be at the top of it.
02:07The lyrics for track eight seemingly reference Swift's new era of life with Kelsey
02:11as they get ready to tie the knot following the engagement news heard round the world.
02:16I just want you, you, you, yeah.
02:19I'm a couple kids got the whole block looking like you.
02:25We tell the world they gotta leave us alone and they too.
02:31Wow.
02:33Got me dreaming about a drive where with a basketball.
02:37Ooh.
02:38Bus up, settle down, got a wish, wishlist.
02:41Now for what is arguably her most vulgar song to date, track nine.
02:45Track nine, Wood.
02:47Swift sings about her curse of bad relationships being broken by, ahem, a magic wand.
02:53Girls, I don't need to catch the bouquet.
02:56I know a hard rock is on the way.
02:58She continues, later adding,
03:00Seems to me that you and me, we make our own luck.
03:03New heights of manhood.
03:05I ain't gonna knock on wood.
03:07Track eleven, Honey.
03:09Later on the album, Swift sings about someone bringing a whole different meaning to the term, honey.
03:14The track seems to be an obvious reference to Kelsey, who has used endearing nicknames like Sweetie and My Lady when chatting about his pop star fiancé.
03:22Honey, I'm home.
03:24We can play house.
03:25We can bed down.
03:26Pick me up.
03:27Who's the baddest in the land?
03:29What's the plan?
03:30She adds,
03:31What's the plan?
03:32You could be my forever nightstand.
03:34Honey.
03:35The Grammy winner also gushes over having a partner who is finally in awe of her and not afraid to praise her in public.
03:42Don't you just love love?
03:44Have a great day.
03:45Take care.
03:46See you next time.
