The Life of a Showgirl, Taylor Swift’s 12th studio album, is out today and makes a lot of references to her ex-boyfriend Travis Kelce, who she got married to over the summer.
Taylor Swift has dropped the big hint yet that she plans to have babies with fiancé Travis Kelce. The 35-year-old appears to talk about their loved up romance in her The Life of a Showgirl album, which was released today (October 3).
In track Wi$h List, she sings in the chorus: “I just want you. Have a couple kids, got the whole block looking like you. We tell the world to leave us thе f*** alone, and they do.” In a further nod to NFL star Travis, also 35, the song continues: “Got me dreaming about a driveway with a basketball hoop. Boss up, settle down, got a wish list (Wish list). I just want you.”
The song appears on the artist’s 12th studio album, along with other tracks that are thought to be influenced by Travis. Taylor sings, “All the right guys promised they’d stay/Under bright lights, they withered away, but you bloom,” in a new nod to her husband-to-be.
Opening the album with the song The Fate Of Ophelia, she references her long wait to find Travis after a string of failed high profile romances that include Joe Jonas, Calvin Harris, Harry Styles, John Mayer, Jake Gyllenhaal, Tom Hiddleston, Joe Alwyn, and most recently The 1975 frontman Matty Healy.

She even sings about swearing herself to single status – until she met Travis. “And if you’d never come for me/I might’ve drowned in the melancholy/I swore my loyalty to me, myself, and I/Right before you lit my sky up,” she says as she references Ophelia’s death by drowning in Hamlet. Referencing her long wait to find Travis, the song continues: “All that time, I sat alone in my tower/You were just honing your powers.”
Travis and Taylor have been dating for two years – with the American football star popping the question in August this year. Though fans think they may have kept the happy news to themselves for about a month before sharing it with fans.
The pair shared images of the romantic proposal as Travis kneed down on one knee and was surrounded by stunning flowers in a garden in a sweet post that received millions of likes in a matter of minutes. Following a dynamite stick emoji, the joint post read, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”
Another photo of the couple and Travis resting his arms around Taylor’s waist while she cradled his face as they exchanged sweet glances at one another made the couple pose for photos. One large diamond, which glowed under the sun, was on her finger, holding her engagement ring.
Travis and Taylor’s romance began in July of 2023 when Travis visited Taylor’s renowned Eras Tour stop at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City. He later shared the details of his real motivations for attending the gig on his podcast New Heights, which he co-hosts with his brother Jason Kelce.
Taylor avoids talking before and after concerts to preserve her vocal cords, despite the fact that he had planned to pass him his phone number via a friendship bracelet. He had a second chance, though, when Taylor learned of his daring move.
Some fans have speculated that Taylor’s new album, which she will perform as a bideta for her life, might be a farewell to the pair now that they are engaged and ready to marry. One person declared, “This is undoubtedly a see you in a while album. She is prepared to embark on the next chapter of her life as a wife and mother. I’m so pleased for her.
