Swifties are theorizing that Travis Kelce masterminded his relationship with Taylor Swift, studying up on her lyrics before dating her to «get the girl.»
Who’s the real “Mastermind”?
Introducing Miss Americana and The Heartbreak Prince, aka Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. Since Swift’s first appearance at Kelce’s football game on Sept. 24, their romance has been taking over the internet, one photo of smudged lipstick at a time. So far, their relationship seems so much like a storybook that Swifties are starting to wonder if someone did their homework beforehand. On TikTok, fans are convinced that Kelce’s been studying up on Swift’s lyrics in order to date her.
«I am convinced that Travis has a notebook where he took notes as he listened to every single song that Taylor has ever written,” one fan wrote on TikTok. Another wrote, “Taylor has been writing a handbook for the person willing to listen for the longest time and he’s definitely taking notes.”
TBH, they’ve got a point. So far, Traylor’s romance has seemed a lot like Swift wrote it herself. On Sept. 24, when they made their first public appearance, leaving Arrowhead Stadium together in a ~getaway car~, one fan on Twitter noted, “this is so taylor swift coded i know she’s eating this up right now.”
Since then, their relationship has only gotten more and more Swift-coded, prompting fan theories about Kelce’s playbook — and they might be onto something. “Mr. Mastermind definitely studied,” one noted. Here’s all the proof they may just be right.
Kelce famously got Swift’s attention by publicizing his failed attempt to give her his phone number on a friendship bracelet. ICYMI, at Swift’s concerts, fans often trade friendship bracelets as a reference to a now-famous lyric in Swift’s song “You’re On Your Own Kid.” In it, she sings:
Kelce’s flirty move didn’t work at the time. “I was disappointed that she doesn’t talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings,” he told his brother Jason Kelce in July. «So I was a little butthurt I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her.»
Still, his effort eventually paid off. And since they started dating, Kelce has still shown an appreciation for the friendship bracelet lyric.
