Here are some possible Travis Kelce references in Taylor Swift's new album, 'The Tortured Poets Department'

The clock struck midnight ET and Swifties across the world immediately rushed to listen to the singer's highly anticipated new album. 

'The Tortured Poets Department' dug deep into Taylor Swift's past relationship prior to her whirlwind romance with Travis Kelce. And while much of the album focused on the heartbreak she suffered, Kelce seemed to be featured in a heartwarming way.

On her 11th studio album, Swift's song “The Alchemy” had numerous references that could easily be tied to the Kansas City Chiefs tight end. Or at least she included a few sports references for him. 

“So when I touch down all that matters/Call the amateurs and cut ’em from the team/Ditch the clowns, get the crown/Baby I’m the one to beat/’Cause the sign on your heart said it’s still reserved for me.”

And she also appears to mention Super Bowl LVIII where Swift was in attendance and got to celebrate the big win with Kelce and the Chiefs. 

"Where’s the trophy? He just comes running over to me,” she sings. 

Here are the full lyrics to 'The Alchemy'

"[Verse 1]
This happens once every few lifetimes
These chemicals hit me like white wine
What if I told you I'm back?
The hospital was a drag
Worst sleep that I ever had
I circled you on a map
I haven't come around in so long
But I'm coming back so strong

[Chorus]
So when I touch down
Call the amateurs and cut 'em from the team
Ditch the clowns, get the crown
Baby, I'm the one to be
'Cause the sign on your heart
Said it's still reserved for me
Honestly, who are we to fight thе alchemy?

[Verse 2]
Hey, you, what if I told you we'rе cool?
That child's play back in school
Is forgiven under my rule
I haven't come around in so long
But I'm making a comeback to where I belong

[Chorus]
So when I touch down
Call the amateurs and cut 'em from the team
Ditch the clowns, get the crown
Baby, I'm the one to be
'Cause the sign on your heart
Said it's still reserved for me
Honestly, who are we to fight the alchemy?

[Post-Chorus]
These blokes warm the benches
We've been on a winning streak
He jokes that "It's heroin, but this time with an E"
'Cause the sign on your heart
Said it's still reserved for me
Honestly, who are we to fight the alchemy?

[Bridge]
Shirts off, and your friends lift you up, over their heads
Beer stickin' to the floor, cheers chanted 'cause they said
"There was no chance trying to be the greatest in the league"
Where's the trophy? He just comes, running over to me

[Chorus]
Touch down
Call the amateurs and cut 'em from the team
Ditch the clowns, get the crown
Baby, I'm the one to be
'Cause the sign on your heart
Said it's still reserved for me
Honestly, who are we to fight the alchemy?

[Post-Chorus]
These blokes warm the benches
We've been on a winning streak
He jokes that "It's heroin, but this time with an E"
'Cause the sign on your heart
Said it's still reserved for me
Honestly, who are we to fight the alchemy?

[Outro]
This happens once every few lifetimes
These chemicals hit me like white wine
