Picture it: A Saturday date night cuddled up with Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce, his friends close by, watching that most romantic of all movies — “American Pie.”
Wait what?
The raunchy 1999 sex comedy about four teenage boys trying to lose their virginity before graduation?
The one where Jim (Jason Biggs) becomes, uh, sexually acquainted with a warm apple pie?
Fans of Kelce’s famous girlfriend, Taylor Swift, are having one of those “she’s one of us” moments.
Her new album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” came out late Thursday night/early Friday morning, and the lyrics to “So High School” describe that very kind of night with Kelce.
“I’m watching American Pie with you on a Saturday night
Your friends are around, so be quiet
I’m trying to stifle my sighs
‘Cause I feel so high school every time I look at you, but look at you
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba.”
We would expect nothing different from the guy who apparently has a ringtone of the late comedian Chris Farley screaming: “For the love of God!”
That, of course, assumes that Kelce picked the movie that night.
Fans are sure he did.

So High School is definitely about Travis Kelce because no other man Taylor Swift dated watches American Pie

“I love American Pie so so much and it seems like such a normal thing that I’d never think Taylor Swift would do lol,” wrote one X user.
Swift’s revelation strikes a chord with fans who have had (surprisingly?) the same date-night experience.
“My husband and I watched American Pie the first night I went to his house so I love it even more than I would anyway!!”
“True story: my husband & I saw American Pie in the theater on our HONEYMOON. Like took a day off from canoodling to go see what we thought might be a classic. It’s always been ‘our movie.’ So that feeling of feeling very seen by Ms Taylor Alison Swift? Yeah. Mind blown.”
Kelce fans know his taste for goofy comedies.
(Extra points if you remember this 2012 tweet: “LMAO My favorite movie of ALLLLL TIME!! #aceVenturaWhenNatureCalls!!”

He told the Wall Street Journal last fall that he loves movies with “Saturday Night Live” alums Farley, Adam Sandler and Will Ferrell.
The Journal’s J.R. Moehringer wrote: “Kelce has warned Swift that she’s going to have to reckon with this part of his personality.”
“I told Taylor that I have that world, I’ve got to introduce it to her,” Kelce said. “I let her know: This is my jam right here.”
It’s apparently his fashion jam, too: Kelce wore a “Happy Gilmore” ball cap when he and Swift went to Coachella last weekend.
During a “New Heights” podcast in Las Vegas during Super Bowl week in February, Kelce and his brother, Jason Kelce, discussed their favorite movies set in Vegas.
They picked famous bro romps. “The Hangover.” “Swingers.” “Dodgeball.”
A few days later, Kelce fired up his Chiefs teammates before the game by quoting Farley in the 1997 film “Beverly Hills Ninja.”
“No one messes with my brother!”

BTW, there could be a new “American Pie” movie coming.
Pass the popcorn, Taylor.
