Taylor Swift Fans Freak Out Over So High School Shout-Out to Ed Kelce:

Taylor Swift’s “So High School” is full of romantic allusions to her boyfriend, Travis Kelce — and she also seemingly featured a subtle shout-out to his father.

“I feel like laughing in the middle of practice / To that impression you did of your dad again,” Swift, 34, sings in the song, which was released on Friday, April 19. “I’m hearing voices like a madman.” (On his “New Heights” podcast, Travis, 34, has impersonated father Ed Kelce several times.)

 

Swift did not mention Travis or his dad by name in “So High School,” but subtle clues pointed to the song being inspired by her boyfriend.
“Are you gonna marry, kiss, or kill me (Kill me),” Swift sings on the track, seemingly name-dropping Travis’ 2016 interview where he said he wanted to smooch Swift in a “Kiss, Marry, Kill” activity. “It’s just a game, but really (Really) / I’m bettin’ on all three for us two (All three).”

Devoted Swifties freaked out that Travis, who she’s been dating since summer 2023, was apparently mentioned on TTPD — as was his father. (Travis and brother Jason Kelce are the two sons of exes Ed and Donna Kelce, who have all remained tight through the years.)

“Oh I just know Ed Kelce is giggling and kicking his feet,” one social media user wrote via X as another added, “Ed Kelce getting a line in a Taylor song in the year of our savior 2024 I have to laugh.”

“Taylor walks [into Travis’ house] with a security guy, and I look at her, and I say [to my girlfriend], ‘Oh my God, I know this kid, but I don’t know what her name is. Jeez, you know, like a real idiot,’” Ed recalled during a January appearance on Audacy’s 92.3 The Fan radio show in Cleveland. “And [my girlfriend] says, ‘You don’t know her? This is Taylor Swift, you idiot.’”

Ed, who has gushed about bonding with “the real Taylor,” has since sat with the pop star in a private suite at several of Travis’ games, including February’s Super Bowl LVIII. After the Chiefs won, Ed and Swift celebrated with Travis on the field alongside Donna and Jason.
