Taylor Swift's new album is everything and more, as the singer gave fans an inside look at her happily ever after with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. There were numerous songs and lines that were specific to Kelce on "The Life of a Showgirl."

So, without further ado, let's get into all the songs and lyrics that are dedicated to her fiancé.

The Fate of Ophelia

"The Fate of Ophelia" is Swift's first song on the album, where she talks about how Kelce saved her from a tragic ending, such as Ophelia's in William Shakespeare's Hamlet.

She detailed how "the hookis someone comes into your life and rescues you from the fate of being driven mad by love," during an appearance on U.K. radio show Heart Breakfast on Oct. 3.

Swift opens the song by singing, "I heard you calling on the megaphone," which many believed to be a reference to Kelce using his New Heights podcast to get her attention after he was unable to meet her during her Eras Tour show at Arrowhead Stadium in 2023.

Here are some of the other lyrics that certainly seem to be about Kelce:

  • And if you'd never come for me / I might've drowned in the melancholy / I swore my loyalty to me (Me), myself (Myself), and I (I) / Right before you lit my sky up
  • Late one night You dug me out of my grave and / Saved my heart from the fate of Ophelia (Ophеlia)
  • Pledge allegiance to your hands, your team, your vibes / Don't care where the hell you've been (Been) 'cause now (Now), you're mine
  • 'Tis locked inside my memory / And only you possess the key / No longer drowning and deceived / All because you came for me

Opalite

When Swift appeared on the New Heights podcast and initially announced her album, Kelce said "Opalite" was one of his favorite songs. And it makes sense why.

Many expected this song to be about Kelce, considering his birthstone is Opal. And she lived up to the hype.

“I’ve always loved that stone, and I thought it was a cool metaphor, that it’s a man-made opal and happiness can also be man-made, too,” she said during an appearance on the radio show Capital Breakfast. “So that’s what the song is about, that juxtaposition.”

Many also think Swift made a reference to Kelce's ex-girlfriend Kayla Nicole in this song, singing 'You couldn't understand it, why you felt alone / You were in it for real, she was in her phone / And you were just a pose.' This stemmed from a video that fans of Kelce asking Nicole to 'get off your phone.' 

And then there's the chorus, which is incredible sweet as she sings, "But now, the sky is opalite, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh / Oh, my Lord Never made no one like you bеfore/ You had to make your own sunshine / But now, thе sky is opalite, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh."

Eldest Daughter

Swift has two siblings, but she is the oldest. In this song, she talks about how Kelce is a light in her life, despite past trauma. She also references a "youngest child," which is true of Kelce, who has one older sibling (Jason Kelce).

Here are some of the lyrics that appear to be about Kelce:

  • When you found me, I said I was busy / That was a lie / I have been afflicted by a terminal uniqueness / I've been dying just from trying to seem cool
  • But I'm never gonna let you down / I'm never gonna leave you out... But I'm never gonna break that vow / I'm nеver gonna leave you now, now, now
  • You know, thе last time I laughed this hard was / On the trampoline in somebody's backyard / I must've been about eight or nine
  • When I said I don't believe in marriage / That was a lie
  • We lie back / A beautiful, beautiful time-lapse / Ferris wheels, kisses, and lilacs / And things I said were dumb / 'Cause I thought that I'd never find that / Beautiful, beautiful life that / Shimmers that innocent light back / Like when we were young
  • Every youngest child felt / They were raised up in the wild / But now you're home

Wi$h Li$t

Swift's love for Kelce is so clear in this song as she states that all she wants is him and the future life they are looking to build together, willing to trade in her fame for that.

Here are some of the lyrics that are about Kelce:

  • I just want you, huh / Have a couple kids, got the whole block looking like you / We tell the world to leave us the f**( alone, and they do, wow / Got me dreaming 'bout a driveway with a basketball hoop / Boss up, settle down, got a wish (Wish) list (List) / I just want you
  • I made wishes on all of the stars / Please, God, bring me a best friend who I think is hot / I thought I had it right, once, twice, but I did not (I did not) / You caught me off my guard / I hope I get what I want (Get what I want) / 'Cause I know what I want

Wood

This is Taylor Swift's raunchiest song ever, as she filled it with double-entendres and sexual humor about her relationship with Kelce.

Here are some of the lyrics that are about Kelce:

  • And, baby, I'll admit I've been a little superstitious (Superstitious) / Fingers crossed until you put your hand on mine (Ah) / Seems to be that you and me, we make our own luck
  • (Ah) It's you and me forever dancing in the dark

Considering some of the words, we couldn't fit in all of it, so here are the full lyrics.

Honey

In her 11th track, Swift sings about how in the past she felt that people calling her "sweetheart" were being "passive-aggressive," while those who called her "honey" made her "cry the whole way home." But now, when Kelce uses these terms of endearment, she loves it because she knows how much he loves her.

Here are some of the lyrics that are about Kelce:

  • But you touched my face / Redefined all of those blues when you say "honey"
  • You can call me "honey" if you want because I'm the one you want / Wintergreen kiss, all mine / You give it different meaning 'cause you mean it when you talk / Honey, I'm home, we could play house / We can bed down, pick me up / Who's the baddest in the land? What's the plan? (What's the plan?) / You could be my forever-night stand, honey
  • You can call me "honey" if you want because I'm the one you want / I'm the one you want / You give it different meaning 'cause you mean it when you talk / Sweetie, it's yours, kicking in doors / Take it to the floor, give me more / Buy the paint in the color of your eyes (Of your eyes) / And graffiti my whole damn life, honey
  • But you say it like you're in awe of me / And you stay until the morning
