Taylor Swift Celebrates Travis Kelce and Cleveland Roots in New Song
Anonymous
Taylor Swift’s “Cleveland!,” one of four tracks on The Life of a Showgirl: The Encore, celebrates her husband Travis Kelce and his Cleveland-area roots, referencing Cleveland Heights and possibly the New Heights podcast he co-hosts with his brother Jason. Lyrics about Kelce showing Swift his hometown culminate in a line about “wearing white,” widely interpreted as a nod to the couple’s July 3 wedding. Swift also addresses criticism of her appearance, personality and relationship, suggesting Kelce’s love matters more than public opinion. Kelce has spoken warmly about taking Swift to Cleveland and called their wedding the best night of his life; the song drew a celebratory response from Cleveland, though one review criticized its defensive tone and production.
