"I circled you on a map" I think is in reference to people joking that Taylor put Travis on the map.

I think this whole song is about Travis, which I think most people feel has been confirmed by Taylor Nation (they used football emojis during a listening party during this song) and Taylor when she sang this as a surprise song when Travis was at the show in Paris. Some of the placement of the lyrics during the lyric video make an arrowhead shape which is the name of the Chief's stadium here in KC. My feelings are that the reference to the hospital could be a reference to the craziness of, and subsequent depression after, the Matty situationship. "He jokes that it's heroin but this time with an E" I think is a bit of a dig at Matty who has had a problem with heroin in the past and I think the comment on that below is probably spot on. I think the "child's play back in school is forgiven under my rule" refers to some..not politically correct things Travis had posted on social media back when he was in high school/college. Back when it was first rumored that Taylor and Travis were dating, some factions of the Swifties freaked out about it (same ones who freaked out over Matty) because Travis didn't meet their standard of intelligence or politically correctness based on those social media posts and I think this is Taylor's way of saying she doesn't care about what Travis posted online/said when he was 20. I don't think it necessarily means this is about someone Taylor went to school with or knew during her school years. I also think all the "haven't come around in so long" type lyrics could be a reference at all the time she spent living in London/dating British men, and now she's coming back to her home of USA and dating an American man. Or it could just be referencing her time away from him during tour (which would feel like forever if you are in the process of falling head over heels in love again). She used the word "blokes" very intentionally when referring to the "benchwarmers" since most of her exes have been British men of late.

Alchemy has a double meaning here, chemistry as you said but Alchemy was trying to change metal into gold. Now think back to what Taylor said about Travis. She said he put her on blast in his podcast and that was METAL as hell. People found her wording strange but I think that was an easter egg for when we got the tracklist and were able to make that connection. Intro/outro imo a reference to falling back in love. First verse coming back from the bad mental state after ending a 6 year relationship and then having the next one, with who you considered to be the one that got away, blow up in your face because your image of him was a lot bigger then the reality. First verse circled you on the map is a reference to the joke on tiktok where people said that she put Travis on the map and football lovers were like get out he was famous before. First verse last 2 sentences is coming back to the US for love. Chorus, Touchdown reference to coming back from the previous verse but the wording is football coded, there are a lot of other possibilities to say the same without a football reference. Call the amateurs and cut them from the team, ditch the clowns get the crown - This has a definite sport coding and Travis his publicist retweeted a picture of herself with a clown emoji over Taylors head. I do not think she is part of his team anymore. Sign on your heart. Do a google search Travis Kelce heart sign you will see the heart sign he flashed to her while playing in Buffalo. Who are we to fight the alchemy i would read as chemistry. The child's play back in school could be a reference to what he did before, smoking weed not being serious etc that caused him to loose his scholarship. Or maybe a reference to his catching kelce show and him needing to pretend to having a relation with the winner for 3 months. Blokes warm the benches, blokes is a typical British term and I see it as a reference to her previous relationships coded in a sports metaphor. Winning streak is either Taylor being a good luck charm or a reference to the fear amongst some Swifties that she could get blamed if the Chiefs started loosing. Heroine joke might be a reference to the way he always talks about her in interviews combined with a dig to her previous relation who apparently needed something else then her to be happy. Shirts off is either something that happened in private or its a Jason reference when he jumped out of the hospitality box bare chested in the freezing cold in Buffalo to help that little girl show the sign she made for Taylor to her. Greatest in the league is a reference to the superbowl or how well the season was going (i don't know when the track was laid down) He just comes running over to me, either the on field celebrations or Karma is the guy on the Chiefs coming straight home to me. That is all just the song, now that she performed it live, when she did it, how she did it, that it replaced YOYOK as the song played when people leave the stadium after the show is over, Travis his own reaction to the song make it even more clear that this song is fully about him with maybe comparisons to others like that junk she was with before.

Child’s play back in school is just giving forgiveness to his past or any past relationships where he may have acted immaturely like it was just a game a.k.a. child play. Also, this love is like heroin aka like a drug and she’s the female hero a.k.a. Heroine 👍 and “I haven’t been around in so long” meaning that she’s been out of the public guy for her whole relationship with Joe but now she’s on the TV every Sunday at Travis’s football games or just in general coming out into the public more, thus she says “Im making a come back to where I belong”.. love your reactions.. keep it up!

"Child's play in school" makes sense in relation to Travis for two reasons. First, he mentioned on his New Heights podcast that he was kicked out out pre-school for throwing a chair. Second, he was kicked off the football team in college because he tested positive for marijuana. Also, the "sign on your heart says its still reserved for me" makes sense in relation to Travis in two ways. First, his football jersey number is 87. 87 + 13 (Taylor's favorite number) = 100. Second, it's been said that Taylor Swift was Travis's celebrity crush for years. It could also possibly mean that Travis knows that she has gone through a lot of trauma because of her past relationships, but is willing to wait around for her until she recovers fully from that trauma. The "heroine" comment is the one that Matty fans rely on heavily because he was a heroin addict. However, in her other songs that are allegedly about Matty, she never says he "jokes". She makes clear in "So High School" that Travis has a good sense of humor. Also, Travis has admitted that he is a bad speller and not "book smart," so there could have been a scenario when she used the word "heroine," he thought she meant "heroin," she explained the difference in the words to him, and then he later made a joke about it. Even though Travis may not be "book smart," he is very witty and has a great memory. In addition, I think the hospital comment may actually be referring to her relationship with Matty. If you read Taylor's Prologue poem to TTPD, her relationship with Joe is compared to a slow oven bake/house arrest, and her relationship with Matty is compared to a Microwave explosion/cardiac arrest. She basically says she went "crazy" after her long period of isolation with Joe, so the Matty relationship would in effect be analogous to a stay in the "mental hospital". I recommend reading the Prologue poem, because it gives you a lot of insight about why the relationship with Matty happened.

Yes, it is a song for Travis Kelce. Bloke is an English term for a guy.

She confirmed that this song was about TRAVIS on N4 in Paris. It was her 87th concert (his Jersey number), Travis was there at the concert, and she was acting giddy and like she was singing directly to him. There’s so many football references. Touch down = Touchdown ✅ Cut them from the team The hospital was like being in jail with Joe and then the mental gymnastics with Matty. After the Chiefs won the Super Bowl, Travis really did run straight to her. The whole world saw their PDA. These “blokes” - London boys were both Joe and Matty. He played Kiss, Marry Kill years ago and one choice was her. He chose to kiss her and to marry Katy Perry. So she saw that interview from years ago. They were both on winning streaks - she just won her 14th Grammy and he won his 3rd Super Bowl. She is saying that her prior boyfriends were child’s play compared to what they have. “So High School” is about Travis, too. 🥰🥰🥰 People were saying that she put him on the map but here she’s saying that he was already on the map and she circled him. She’s in love. Watch Paris N4. It’s so cute to see her so HAPPY. 🥰 kzitem.info/news/bejne/toyP1op5qaF3fHosi=7fgT1vWPu4uzmnSh

I still think whilst most of his song sounds like it’s about Travis there’s bits that sound like going back to someone else.

Travis stating this is one of his current top three Taylor songs, and Taylor singing it to Travis in Paris only confirms this is about Travis, and not Ratty.

This is 100% about Travis. She played it with Travis in attendance after announcing that it was the 87th show. Taylor Nation has referenced it being about Travis. Travis was also asked what his favorite 3 Taylor Swift songs were and they were Blank Space, The Alchemy, and So High School Edit: Lord you were so close. I almost left right before it started to sound like you might be starting to get that it’s about Travis but you got there. Then I had to leave when got back on the Matty train

Lowkey hate when swifties try to shut down any theory that is not theirs (like most of these comments) Yes, the song sounds super Travis Kelce-coded and she's sung it in the context of her 87th show and Travis being there, but thinking that just because of that it means that no other theory can be done around the song is kinda lame because that's the fun part of listening to Taylor! she's demented and like to tell us more than one thing at the same time.
