Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce after the 2025 AFC Championship game against the Buffalo Bills at Arrowhead Stadium.

Taylor Swift is out promoting her new album, "The Life of a Showgirl," and additional details about her blossoming relationship with fiancé Travis Kelce, and the influence it had on her musical process, are starting to trickle out. At least one song is considered an ode to Kelce. Swift, meanwhile, said on Friday, Oct. 3 as she did a series of television and radio interviews in London, that another song's title was inspired, in part, by Kelce.

"With this (album), the coolest part is it's absolutely the same place that I am in my life. The music matches the moment that I'm in," Swift told Hits Radio. "This album is a complete and total snapshot of what my life looks like right now."

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end is becoming a bigger part of it as time goes by. He and Swift announced their engagement in August after two years of dating. She has been a regular at Kelce's Chiefs games, of course. He was a frequent guest at Swift's Eras Tour during the NFL offseason and even appeared on stage with her once. The two have gushed over one another whenever they've chosen to open up about their private lives together.

That continued during Swift's media blitz Friday, as her interviewers wanted to know just as much about Kelce and the engagement ring he gave her as they did "The Life of a Showgirl." Here's a look at some of the highlights of what Swift said about Kelce, including how he surprised her with the proposal and picked the ring, how his support helped fuel this latest album and more of what she loves so much about him:

Taylor Swift praises Travis Kelce engagement ring, proposal

"He designed it with this amazing jeweler, Kindrid Lubeck is her name," Swift said during an interview with Heart Breakfast, "and she does all of her gold engraving by hand and I had shown him a video of, I just thought her stuff was so cool. I had shown him a video like a year and a half ago, and he was just paying attention to everything it turns out. When I saw the ring, I was like, (gasps) 'I know who made that. I know who made that, and also you listen to me … It was like, "You really know me.' I didn't know what I would want, but he did somehow and that's kind of a flex.

"He really crushed it in surprising me," Swift also told "The Graham Norton Show" about Kelce's proposal during another promotional appearance on Friday.

"While we were talking on his podcast, he had a complete garden built out the back of his house to propose in," she said, according to the outlets. "He went all out – 10 out of 10."

How Travis Kelce relationship helped Taylor Swift's songwriting

Swift made "The Life of the Showgirl" with Swedish producer Max Martin and it involved trips to Sweden for recording. Kelce would hear the results when Swift came back to the United States.

"I would play it for him as soon as I'd come back from Sweden," Swift told BBC Radio 1. "As soon as I'd come back from Sweden, I'd just play it for him and I knew that this was the kind of album he was going to love the most. He's so supportive of all of it, but he's a real vibes guy."

While not directly referencing Kelce, Swift made clear his presence in her life had an impact on her songwriting.

"Writing songs is one of my favorite things and I did kind of nurture a fear earlier on in my career that if I ever wasn't truly miserable in my personal life, would I be able to write?" Swift said on Heart Breakfast. "I think that's one of the reasons I love this album so much, is we were like catching lightning in a bottle every time we were writing songs for this record and I do think that someone in your life that fuels you, who makes you more you …

"Everyone in my life is like you've never been so yourself, which is this interesting thing," she continued. "You've been you your whole life, but we are different shades and ourselves at different volume levels, and this person came into my life and everybody's like, 'Yeah, you've never been so you,' and I think that comes through in music. People who fuel you, they fuel every part of you and they make you walk taller and they make you present in a more vibrant way, and so hopefully that bleeds into the music, too."

'Opalite' is Taylor Swift song inspired by Travis Kelce

There are several songs on "The Life of a Showgirl" that include lyrics that appear to directly or indirectly reference Kelce. Indeed, "Wood" has quickly been interpreted as being about Kelce with a mention of the "New Heights" podcast he hosts with brother, Jason Kelce.

But Swift's promotional tour on Friday also revealed that Travis Kelce also played a pivotal role in the theme and title of another song on the album. It also happens to be the song Swift believes Kelce likes the most.

"I had written down the word 'opalite' because I learned that it's actually a man-made opal," Swift said in an interview with Capital Breakfast in London. "Opal can be man-made just like diamonds, and so Travis' birth stone is an opal. I've always fixated on that, loved that stone and I thought it was kind of a cool metaphor that it's a man-made opal and happiness can also be man-made, too. That's kind of what the song is about, that kind of juxtaposition of those two."

Taylor Swift calls Travis Kelce 'life of any party'

"You would absolutely love him," Swift told Hits Radio about Kelce when the hosts referenced a line in the album and wondered if Swift had accomplished the goal of finding a best friend who is also hot. "He's just a blast. Life of any party, even when it's just us. So yeah, that is the goal, isn't it? Find a best friend that you think is hot."

"He's such a natural, just in life," Swift said on Heart Breakfast. "He just kind of, like, has never been nervous about anything in his entire life."

"All of my guy friends are like, 'I just want Travis to pick me up and throw me over a roof.' Or throw me in the pool," Swift said on BBC Radio 1. "You know he's 6-foot-6. But the width of the shoulders, seeing him walk through a door is genuinely a privilege."
