Taylor Swift let fans inside her and Travis Kelce’s personal world with the release of a lyric video for “Cleveland!” — one of the new songs off her “The Life of a Showgirl: The Encore” album.
The visuals, released Friday, feature never-before-seen home video footage of Swift and Kelce, both 36, visiting his hometown of Cleveland Heights, Ohio.
Kelce is seen multiple times throughout the video, smiling at the camera as he is driving a car with Swift in the passenger seat.
Swift herself makes an appearance toward the end, with us getting a shot of her in the car Kelce is driving.
Before that, however, someone — seemingly the pop star — is depicted wearing a white dress as the lyrics “Now I’m wearing white” are sung.
A source tells Page Six the dress seen in the music video isn’t Swift’s wedding dress she wore to marry Kelce at New York City’s Madison Square Garden in July.
In terms of other Easter eggs, the lyric video features someone — again, presumably Swift herself — wearing roller skates which notably have 13 hearts on them, a nod to the Grammy winner’s favorite number.
“Cleveland!” is Swift’s most Kelce-centric song yet, as it’s a reference to the Kansas City Chiefs tight end’s hometown and features personal lyrics about his childhood home when she sings “that house with the porch is where he lived as a kid.”
“My baby likes what he likes / He already took me to Cleveland / And showed me The Heights!” Swift sings in the track. “So hate all you like / This is the love of my life.”
In another lyric, she sings, “The taste of me is acquired, but it’s his favorite dish.”
That line got a strong reaction from Swifties, with many of them pointing out its double meaning — and calling it the most raunchy lyric since her song “Wood,” off 2025’s “The Life of a Showgirl.”
“Forgive me, it sounds cocky / He (ah!)matized [d–kmatized] me / And opened my eyes / Redwood tree / It ain’t hard to see / His love was the key / That opened my thighs,” Swift sang in “Wood.”
But “Cleveland!” is sentimental, too; Swift also sings, “You only need to find one person in this entire world / Who doesn’t find you completely insufferable / And I have an important announcement to make / I found mine,” in reference to Kelce.
Despite Swift’s “Encore” offering earning mixed reactions from critics and fans, the track “Patient Zero” —one of the four new songs — quickly became Spotify’s most-streamed song by a female artist in a single day in 2026 so far, according to a rep for the music streaming service.
Not only that, but Swift is also the most-streamed female artist in a single day this year, per Spotify.
In addition to “Cleveland!” and “Patient Zero,” Swift also released “Pink Clouding” and “Babylon” Friday.
She’ll debut the star-studded “Patient Zero” music video — starring Dakota Johnson and Colin Farrell — Sunday at the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards.
