Taylor Swift let fans inside her and Travis Kelce\u2019s personal world with the release of a lyric video for Cleveland! \u2013 one of the new songs off her The Life of a Showgirl: The Encore album.<\/p>\n

The visuals, released Saturday, feature never-before-seen home video footage<\/a> of Swift and Kelce, both 36, visiting his hometown of Cleveland Heights, Ohio.<\/p>\n

Kelce is seen multiple times throughout the video, smiling at the camera as he is driving a car with Swift in the passenger seat.<\/p>\n

Swift herself makes an appearance toward the end, with us getting a shot of her in the car Kelce is driving.<\/p>\n

Before that, however, someone \u2013 seemingly the pop star \u2013 is depicted wearing a white dress as the lyrics \u201cNow I\u2019m wearing white\u201d are sung.<\/p>\n

However, a source tells Page Six<\/a> the dress seen in the music video isn\u2019t Swift\u2019s wedding dress she wore to marry Kelce at New York City\u2019s Madison Square Garden<\/a> in July.<\/p>\n

\"Travis<\/p>\n

In terms of other Easter eggs, the lyric video features someone \u2013 again, presumably Swift herself \u2013 wearing rollerskates which notably have 13 hearts on them, a nod to the Grammy winner\u2019s favourite number.<\/p>\n

Cleveland! is Swift\u2019s most Kelce-centric song yet, as it\u2019s a reference to the Kansas City Chiefs tight end\u2019s hometown and features personal lyrics about his childhood home when she sings \u201cthat house with the porch is where he lived as a kid\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy baby likes what he likes \/ He already took me to Cleveland \/ And showed me The Heights!\u201d Swift sings in the track. \u201cSo hate all you like \/ This is the love of my life.\u201d<\/p>\n

In another lyric, she sings, \u201cThe taste of me is acquired, but it\u2019s his favourite dish.\u201d<\/p>\n

That line got a strong reaction from Swifties, with many of them pointing out its double meaning \u2013 and calling it the most raunchy lyric since her song Wood, off 2025\u2019s The Life of a Showgirl.<\/p>\n

\u201cForgive me, it sounds cocky \/ He (ah!)matised [d \u2013 kmatised] me \/ And opened my eyes \/ Redwood tree \/ It ain\u2019t hard to see \/ His love was the key \/ That opened my thighs,\u201d Swift sang in Wood.<\/p>\n

But Cleveland! is sentimental, too; Swift also sings, \u201cYou only need to find one person in this entire world \/ Who doesn\u2019t find you completely insufferable \/ And I have an important announcement to make \/ I found mine,\u201d in reference to Kelce.<\/p>\n

Despite Swift\u2019s Encore offering earning mixed reactions from critics and fans<\/a>, the track Patient Zero \u2013 one of the four new songs \u2013 quickly became Spotify\u2019s most-streamed song by a female artist in a single day in 2026 so far, according to a rep for the music streaming service.<\/p>\n

Not only that, but Swift is also the most-streamed female artist in a single day this year, per Spotify.<\/p>\n

In addition to Cleveland! and Patient Zero, Swift also released Pink Clouding and Babylon Friday.<\/p>\n

She\u2019ll debut the star-studded Patient Zero music video<\/a> \u2013 starring Dakota Johnson and Colin Farrell \u2013 on Monday at the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards.<\/p>\n
