Taylor Swift Fans Are Theorizing That Her Song “The Albatross” Is Actually About All That Backlash She And Travis Kelce Faced At The Start Of Their Relationship — Here’s A Full Explainer


“‘You were sleeping soundly when they dragged you from your bed.’ Travis had to move out of his house when they started dating. She still thinks she brings down all her romantic partners and is a burden,” one fan speculated.

Months later, after being briefly romantically linked to Matty Healy, Taylor began dating Kansas City Chiefs player Travis. Taylor and Joe have never publicly acknowledged their breakup, but at the time, a source purportedly told People that he’d struggled with her heightened level of superstardom following the start of her record-breaking Eras Tour. She also sings, “Wise men once read fake news / And they believed it,” which may be a reference to the viral false rumor that she and Joe had secretly gotten married.
