It’s been three years since Travis Kelce took now-wife Taylor Swift to Cleveland Heights, his hometown in Ohio – and the superstar singer is now giving fans a look into those early days.
A lyric video for new song “Cleveland!!!!” dropped on YouTube and includes home footage of Travis driving Taylor into the city, road signs indicating their destination, and a selfie shot of Taylor sitting in the passenger seat.
It also featured drone footage over the city, as well as two people sroller-skating.
Although the footage confirms that the song is about her relationship with 36-year-old Chiefs player Travis, there was no doubt in the minds of most; the lyrics poke fun at their early days when detractors suggested she was too old for the football player, her dancing skills, and a reference to their engagement and wedding.

The pair met in summer 2023 after Travis watched her Eras Tour performance at Arrowhead Stadium and then jokingly complained on his podcast New Heights that she wouldn’t meet him before the show so he couldn’t give her a friendship bracelet with his number on it.
Mutual friends then connected the pair.
