Taylor Swift can turn just about any situation into a song, including one in which she’s made out to be the villain.
The artist, 34, who fans believe sang about her relationship with boyfriend Travis Kelce, 34, on her tracks So High School and The Alchemy, think she may be referencing the NFL star in The Albatross as well.
The lyrics ‘Cautions issued, he stood / Shooting the messengers / They tried to warn him about her,’ seem to refer to some of the vitriol aimed at the Grammy winner when she began attending Kansas City Chiefs games to support her guy.
‘Why is no one talking about The Albatross is also a Travis song? one TikTok user asked.
‘Everybody was telling Travis, ‘Be careful, don’t get with her. She’ll ruin your career,’ the fan continued.
‘Don’t get with her, she’ll ruin your career. Are you paying attention to football? Is she weighing you down? Is he no longer good because he’s dating Taylor Swift?’ she queried.
‘That was the entire middle part of their relationship,’ the poster claimed.
‘The first verse talks about someone warning a suitor about dating her. Love is fragile, don’t let the winds that come with her fame snuff it out,’ another fan posited on X, former known as Twitter.
‘The second verse,’ the poster continued, ‘is about how she is shut away for the good of her potential partners. She’s the bad seed and the temptress, so shutting her away reduces the danger (less dagger to sharpen). But she escapes confinement anyway to visit her partner (who dgaf about the danger).’
Yet another lyric investigator claimed the track is about ‘men are scared of falling for her because she is a “man-eater” and “serial-dater” but then they DO fall for her.’
‘Given everyone warned Trav he was distracted all because of her, the football dudes made her feel she was the albatross around his neck,” author continued, adding that Kelce ‘never made her feel that way and cast off all the doomsayers. In fact, he played better when she was there.’
