Taylor Swift Laughs Through ‘Dating the Boy on the Football Team’ Line in ‘Fifteen,’ Debuts ‘The Prophecy’ Live in Lyon

Taylor Swift had a laugh along with the crowd in Lyon, France, during the acoustic section of her concert on June 2.

Taylor Swift had a bit of a laugh with the crowd in Lyon, France, when she sang a lyric about how she’s destined to do “greater things” than date a football player, from her song “Fifteen.” The track was written when she was a teen and originally released back in 2009. On Sunday, when Swift reached the part of “Fifteen” where she looks back at her high school years from the perspective of someone who’s been through it, fans noticeably reacted to her choice to sing “in your life you’ll do things greater than dating the boy on the football team” right now — since the pop star has been in a high-profile relationship with NFL player Travis Kelce, tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs. The song — found on The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology — is an emotionally heavy one that took an interesting turn with the perspective from Evermore ‘s “Long Story Short,” with Swift swirling her writing together in a medley of the two works.
