We don’t know about you, but we feel “The Alchemy” is so Travis Kelce-coded. Taylor Swift typically keeps the muses behind her tracks under wraps, but she’s tossed enough football references into this song to leave us with little doubt that, yes, it’s all about Kelce. We get it, Taylor, you’re dating a Super Bowl winner!
But “The Alchemy” strays from the TTPD’s heartbreak anthems, like the tear-jerker “So Long, London.” Instead, it revels in the excitement of a brand-new romance, peppered with metaphors of unbeatable chemistry. Swift sings, “Baby I’m the one to beat / ‘Cause the sign on your heart / Said it’s still reserved for me / Honestly, who are we to fight the alchemy?” She rolls out a string of football metaphors next, with lines about “touching down,” “a winning streak,” and feeling like “the greatest in the league.” She even appeared to have included a nod to Kelce’s Super Bowl triumph with, “Where’s the trophy? He just comes, running over to me.”
The song wraps up full circle, with Swift gushing about a rare, intoxicating love. “This happens once every few lifetimes / These chemicals hit me like white wine.” And, unlike her previous romances where she practically had to play hide and seek with the public, “The Alchemy” shows Swift embracing her return to the public eye, declaring it her rightful place. “I circled you on a map / I haven’t come around in so long / But I’m coming back so strong.”
