Travis Kelce, the three-time Super Bowl champion at 34, has openly disclosed his favorite track from his girlfriend Taylor Swift's latest album, The Tortured Poets Department.
In a recent interview, Kelce was tasked with selecting just one song out of the 31 tracks Swift released on April 19, and it appears that the Kansas City Chiefs tight end isn't afraid to play favorites.
"I might be a little biased to 'So High School,'" he told People, referring to Swift's song that is speculated to be about him.

While her 11th studio album predominantly delves into her breakups with Joe Alwyn and Matty Healy, tracks like "So High School" and "The Alchemy" subtly allude to her romance with Kelce.
In particular, "The Alchemy" features football-inspired imagery, referencing touchdowns, teams, bench warming, winning streaks, trophies, cheers, and even being hailed as the greatest in the league.
At Taylor Swift's Paris concert on May 9, which marked the European launch of her record-breaking tour and her first performance since the album's release, the pop icon treated fans to live renditions of several new songs at La Défense Arena, including this favorite song by Kelce.

She kicked off with "But Daddy I Love Him," followed by "So High School" and "Who's Afraid of Little Old Me," performed atop a glass-plated block that glided around the stage.
The set continued with "Down Bad," "Fortnight," and "The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived," culminating in the segment's finale, "I Can Do It With a Broken Heart."
Swift caught fans off guard with the revelation that "TTPD" was not just an album, but a double album.
Dubbed "The Anthology," Swift's late-night revelation included 15 bonus tracks, bringing the total song count to an impressive 31.
