There’s one — and only one man — who is spared any torture on the new Taylor Swift album.

And, of course, that’s Travis Kelce — the Super Bowl champ sweetheart of the pop superstar.

In fact, getting love from the 34-year-old singer on her highly anticipated 11th studio LP“The Tortured Poets Department,” which dropped on Friday — might be an even bigger win than getting that Super Bowl ring.

“The Alchemy” is a sexy slow dance that is unabashedly about Kelce, with Swift staking claim to her stud.

“So when I touch down all that matters/ Call the amateurs and cut ’em from the team/ Ditch the clowns, get the crown/ Baby I’m the one to beat/ ’Cause the sign on your heart said it’s still reserved for me.”

All right now, Miss Tay.

As if there was doubt about just who she was putting on lock, the Swift — who famously dashed into her boo’s arms for an iconic smooch when his Kansas City Chiefs won the Super Bowl against the San Francisco 49ers in February — later adds, “Where’s the trophy? He just comes running over to me.”

The couple began dating last summer and went public with their relationship in September 2023.

Swift has not been shy about her romance with Kelce, ratcheting up the TV ratings for the NFL when she cheered on her boyfriend from the stands at multiple games.

“When you say a relationship is public, that means I’m going to see him do what he loves, we’re showing up for each other, other people are there and we don’t care,” Swift told Time in December, when she was named the magazine’s 2023 Person of the Year.

“The opposite of that is you have to go to an extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you’re seeing someone,” she added. “We’re just proud of each other.”

And during her Eras Tour stop in Buenos Aires, Argentina in November, Swift switched up the lyrics to “Karma” for her man.

“Karma is the guy on the Chiefs, coming straight home to me,” she sang to an adorable reaction from Kelce, who was in attendance at the concert.

“I might have had a little bit of a clue, but definitely when I heard it come out of her mouth, [it] still shocked me,” Kelce said on his “New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce” podcast.

“I was like, ‘Oh, she really just said that.’”

Score!
