As expected, The Tortured Poets Department, is a (completely devastating and raw) breakup album. But there is one song on there that fans are convinced is about Taylor Swift’s relationship with Travis Kelce. Welcome to “The Alchemy.” And honestly, the lyrics speak for themselves, so let’s get into them (via Genius).

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?

Oh and:

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?

Plus:

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

“Touch down?” “Team?” “Benches?” These are football metaphors and you can’t! convince me! otherwise!

Truly so happy Travis got himself a cute song on The Tortured Poets Department—especially after what we can all agree was a truly WILD journey through Taylor’s breakups with Joe Alwyn and Matty Healy, which make up the majority of the album.
