Taylor Swift’s ‘The Alchemy lyrics raise eyebrows: Is Kadarius Toney the target?
Taylor Swift fans who have transitioned from being die-hard Swifties to football enthusiasts are having a field day with the idea that Taylor Swift may have thrown some shade at Travis Kelce’s teammate Kadarius Toney in her latest song “The Alchemy”. The song, off her new album “The Tortured Poets Department”, has sparked speculation among fans that the lyrics may be a subtle dig at Toney.
One particular line that has caught the attention of fans is, “Where’s the trophy? He just came running to me”, which many believe alludes to Kelce and his team’s Super Bowl success. The song also features the line, “when I touch down, call the amateurs and cut ’em from the team”, which some fans on social media are interpreting as a direct reference to Kelce’s teammate Toney.
After the album was released at midnight on April 19, fans took to social media to share their theories and jokes about the possible references to Toney in Swift’s song. One fan posted a screengrab of the lyrics, stating, “Speculation is rising that Taylor Swift is talking about Kadarius Toney in her new song.” Another fan humorously suggested that “Taylor Swift has some notes for Andy Reid about Kadarius Toney.”
The speculation has been fueled by the fact that Toney and Kelce were involved in a play last December where a touchdown from Toney off a pass from Kelce was ruled out for offside. This real-life event has added an extra layer of intrigue for fans who are trying to decode Swift’s lyrics and their potential connection to the football players.
