Taylor Swift might be hinting at a touchdown in her love life with her latest merchandise drop, which seems to give a shoutout to her boyfriend, Travis Kelce on National Boyfriend Day.

AceShowbiz - On Thursday, October 3, Taylor Swift unveiled "The Greatest in the League" collection, an ensemble that might just be a heartfelt nod to her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. The release includes crewneck sweatshirts, hoodies, and sweatpants in neutral shades like black, gray, ivory, and white, all adorned with logos from her album, "The Tortured Poets Department."

Die-hard fans quickly connected the dots, speculating that the collection not only celebrated National Boyfriend Day but was also an early birthday present for Kelce, who turns 35 on October 5. One online user humorously pointed out, "Taylor releasing a the greatest in the league merch collection on national boyfriend's [sic] day and the weekend of her boyf's birthday??? oh taycomedian."

Adding fuel to these theories is the context provided by "The Alchemy," a song from Swift's recent album. The track is rich with sports references and rumored to be inspired by none other than Travis Kelce himself. Its lyrics include lines like, "So when I touch down/ Call the amateurs and cut 'em from the team/ Ditch the clowns, get the crown/ Baby I'm the one to beat," making a plausible connection to Kelce's professional football career.

Swift sings later in the song, "These blokes warm the benches/ We've been on a winning streak," further suggesting a possible nod to her NFL-star boyfriend. This theory is bolstered by various public appearances the couple has made together, including a stint at the US Open in September 2024 and several outings in New York City.

Yet, some fans have a different take. Given Swift's penchant for layering meanings and references, a few believe "The Alchemy" might allude to her past relationships, such as with English actor Joe Alwyn or The 1975's frontman Matty Healy. One fan pointed to the line, "He jokes that it's heroin but this time with an 'e,' " which references Healy's previous struggles with heroin use.

Whether hinting at a romantic touchdown or past heartbreaks, Swift's new merch drop certainly has her fanbase buzzing. With clever lyrical wordplay and timely releases, Taylor Swift continues to engage her audience, leaving them eagerly dissecting her every move.
