TK and TS forever.
While the internet already surmised that Taylor Swift’s new song “So High School” is about Travis Kelce (I mean, come on — “You know how to ball, I know Aristotle”), the pop star seemingly confirmed everyone’s suspicions with yet another cute clue.
On Friday, Swift dropped the lyric video for the heartwarming track, and at the 45-second mark, the screen reads: “Cheeks pink in the twinkling lights/ tell me ’bout the first time you saw me.” In a sweet shoutout to her boyfriend, Swift highlighted the “T” and the “K” (Kelce’s initials) in twinkling and the “T” and “S” (her initials) in lights in a light pink shade while the rest of the letters are left white.
Unsurprisingly, Swifties recognized the hidden message and took to the comments section to sound off with their thoughts. “At 0:44 if you look closely at the letters you can see that the TK and TS are written with a soft pink color. I love my parents,” wrote one fan. Another user shared a similar sentiment while also pointing out a few other nods dedicated to Swift’s footballer boyfriend, writing: “THE FOOTBALL STADIUM LIGHTS, THE TS AND TK BEING A DIFFERENT COLOR, ALL THE K’S BEING CAPITALIZED. OH TAYLOR SWIFT YOU ARE IN LOVEEEEEEEEEE.”

Meanwhile, Kelce also appeared to hint that “So High School” is about him after sharing a clip of himself impersonating his dad, Ed Kelce, on X. “Those Papa Kelce impressions are just too good,” he captioned the post promoting his New Heights podcast. In the second verse of the song, Taylor sings, “I feel like laughin’ in the middle of practice / Do that impression you did of your dad again / I’m hearing voices like a madman.”
Prior to the lyric video’s release, there were plenty of other indications the song was about Kelce. There’s the line that goes, “Get my car door, isn’t that sweet? (That sweet) / Then pull me to the back sеat (Back seat),” which fans think is about their first public date night.
And of course, she references the viral 2016 clip, in which Kelce was asked whom he would “kiss, marry or kill” between Swift, Katy Perry and Ariana Grande when she sings, “Are you gonna marry, kiss or kill me? (Kill me) / It’s just a game, but really (Really) / I’m bettin’ on all three for us two (All three).”
