Are Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce: Beloved couple was always tied by 'Invisible String'?

When Taylor Swift sang, ‘And isn't it just so pretty to think / All along there was some / Invisible string / Tying you to me?’ – people rekindled their faith in love and tried to discover some golden threads that attached their significant others to them.

After a couple of failed attempts, the 35-year-old singer found the one who gave her a dazzling ring on her finger. As the theories started coming up, fans realised why the NFL star, who doesn’t hesitate to cheer her, has been the one for the billionaire singer. Let’s take a look at why Taylor Swift and her fiancé, Travis Kelce, were always tied with an invisible string that led them to each other.

‘Mary’s Song (Oh My My My)’

Taylor Swift has been emoting through her lyrics and rhythm since her childhood.

Releasing the debut album, the singer-songwriter wrote ‘I'll be eighty-seven; you'll be eighty-nine’ in the track ‘Mary’s Song (Oh My My My).’ The connection? Swift was born in the year 89, and well, Kelce’s jersey number is 87. The song was released in 2006, when Kelce hadn’t been recruited to the NFL yet.

‘Cornelia Street’

Taylor Swift sang, ‘As if the street lights pointed in an arrowhead, leading us home,’ but the world heard that Arrowhead Stadium led her to her home, Travis Kelce.

Not only is it the place of the Kansas City Chiefs’ home ground, but it is also the place where Travis wanted to give his number to Swift during the concert, as well as the stadium where she attended her first NFL game to cheer in red and white for her beau.

‘Ready For It?’

Taylor Swift ‘knew he was a killer,’ the first time she saw him – and the NFL fans might know that Travis Kelce’s Instagram handle has always been ‘@killatrav.’ While the ‘Reputation’ album was released in 2017, the reference might not have been for him, but the meaning has been altered and deepened after the realisation of how the stars aligned.

'Fifteen'

Taylor Swift talked about her high school experiences in her second album, ‘Fearless.’ In a track named ‘Fifteen,’ she mentioned, ‘In your life, you’ll do things / Greater than dating the boy on the football team / But I didn’t know it at fifteen.’ The billionaire singer breaks records with a snap and flips the table with her cat eyes – but it’s also the truth that her influence has achieved new heights. Dating a guy from the football team changed the lives of the couple, and the lyric is always steady to give out a giggle.

87 + 13 = 100

Taylor Swift and the number 13 are adjacent at this point – and both feel incomplete without each other. She has been announcing her bias for years and has somehow managed to circle her significant moments surrounding the number. Meanwhile, Travis Kelce always had the number 87 imprinted on her jersey. As mentioned by the singer in the debut podcast and decoded by fans, 87 + 13 makes the perfect hundred, signalling the idyllic relationship.

‘Marjorie’

Taylor Swift released the song ‘Marjorie’ in her ninth studio album, ‘Evermore,’ where she sang about the influence of her late maternal grandmother, Marjorie Finlay. When the singer was 13, Finlay passed away at the age of 74 after being born on October 5, 1928. Aligning the strings, Travis Kelce’s birthday falls on October 5, 1989, as well. In the lyrics, the singer says, ‘And if I didn't know better / I'd think you were talking to me now / If I didn't know better / I'd think you were still around / What died didn't stay dead,’ manifesting the connection she might subconsciously share with Kelce.

‘Archer’s pose’

Taylor Swift’s song ‘The Archer’ reflects on how life has been cruel to her in the ways that felt like she’s been used to attack, while sometimes she has been the prey. During the performance, she enacts a certain pose, which is exactly the same as the NFL star, when he earns a touchdown in the field.

‘Marry Me, Juliet (Taylor)?’

Completing the theory, Taylor Swift has written about a teenage girl’s dream of hoping a man bends his knee and asks her to marry him.

Confessing the love in ways she has been writing about for so many years, Travis proposed to her with a stunning diamond ring in the middle of the floral heaven in their backyard, surprising her the way she does to her fans. Swift, who wrote ‘It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes"’ in 2008, said yes to her boyfriend earlier this month.

The lore of Invisible String

The ‘Invisible String’ theory surrounds an ancient myth that reflects the idea that soulmates are tied with a golden string and are destined to be together.

The time guides them through hints, obstructions, and even specific moments in their lives, making the duo feel interconnected. Taylor Swift mentioned the lore in her 11th track of her eighth album, ‘Folklore.’

‘Love Story’ of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce

Travis Kelce, or as the singer likes to call him, ‘A Human Exclamation Point,’ took a random chance at the Arrowhead Stadium in 2023 when Taylor Swift was performing ‘The Eras Tour.’ With a custom-made friendship bracelet in his pocket and a hope in his heart to meet the star through an elevator lady, the Kansas City Chiefs athlete attended the concert, which he spoke about in his podcast.

Blasting the internet, the NFL star extended his advances publicly, hoping to date the singer.

Recently, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce announced their engagement on social media, sharing a series of pictures from the floral event. The stunning diamond ring has been discussed in more than a thousand posts and reels. Not to mention, the couple might have created a domino effect with their engagement, and the trend would be waiting in a corner to start soon – from clothes, nails, and hairstyle to ring, place, and the pictures.
