Kylie Kelce is sharing her thoughts about Taylor Swift’s new album, “Life of a Showgirl.”
On the Oct. 9 episode of her “Not Gonna Lie” podcast, Kelce revealed her top three songs on the album, which has already sparked conversation among critics.
“We have listened to ‘Life of a Showgirl,'” she said of her and her four young daughters, Wyatt, Elliotte, Bennett and Finnley, whom she shares with her husband, Jason Kelce.
“There’re some bops on there, I think everybody knows. One of the songs that Ellie and I have been bopping to on the way to school is ‘Opalite,’ great song!” she said of the upbeat track. “The lyric, ‘My brother used to call it, “Eating out of the trash”‘ — outstanding!”
Kelce then shared which songs she loves the most.
“My favorites on the album are definitely ‘Wi$h LiSt,’ ‘Opalite’ and who are we kidding? ‘Wood.’ Here’s the deal, do I need that much detail, specifically about my brother-in-law? Probably not, but also good job, Trav! That’s it!” she added, referring to Jason Kelce’s brother and Swift’s fiancé, Travis Kelce.
Swift appeared on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” on Oct. 6, during which she shared how her song “Wood” came to be.
“I brought this into the studio and I was like, I want to do sort of like a — I want to like do a throwback, kind of timeless-sounding song, and I have this idea about like, ‘I ain’t got to knock on wood,’ and we would knock on wood, and it would be all these superstitions. And it really started out in a very innocent place,” Swift explained, as the audience broke out in laughter.
“You know, it started out like … I don’t know what happened, man. I got in there and we started vibing and — and I don’t know. I don’t know how we got here, but I love this song so much,” she said with a laugh.
On Oct. 3, Swift dropped her 12th studio album, “Life of a Showgirl,” which she wrote on the European leg of her “Eras Tour.”
The “Fate of Ophelia” singer first announced the album in August while appearing on her beau’s “New Heights” podcast. Later that month, Travis Kelce shared he’s a fan of “Opalite.”

“I think ‘Opalite’ might be my favorite, though, at least right now,” he told his brother on the podcast. “Every time it comes on, I always catch myself.”
Swift also talked about the catchy tune on Capital FM. During the interview, she said she was excited to learn that an opalite is “actually a man-made opal.” She also said that opals are Travis Kelce’s birthstone and one of her favorite rocks.
“I thought it was a kind of a cool metaphor that it’s a man-made opal and happiness can also be man-made too,” she explained of the song. “So that’s kind of what the song is about: the kind of juxtaposition of those two.”
