One of Taylor Swift’s latest songs from her album “The Life of a Showgirl” has ignited discussions pertaining to its lyrics and the muse behind it.

Another wrote, “i swear she used to be so much more subtle.” A third added, “No wonder she’s apparently too tired to tour…” One punster went with, “She doesn’t have to knock on wood because it’s knocking on her.”
A third Reddit user laughed, “I don’t need to catch the bouquet to know a hard rock is on the way.” The thread linked those punchlines to Travis Kelce’s life and persona, with several nods to his New Heights branding. Several readers connected “new heights” to Kelce’s podcast and relationship timeline. Others compared the tone to her earlier, subtler innuendo eras.
