There are two kinds of celebrity couple: those who tell us they’re madly in love – whether that be true or not – fine, lovely, boring, questionable.
And then there are those who don’t have to say anything, because every photograph screams, ‘We’re climbing each other like trees the second these cameras leave.’
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are absolutely that couple. At first glance, America’s sweetheart and her golden retriever husband may seem terribly innocent, but they have wildly adventurous libidos – there are signs.
As Swifties often are, I too have become obsessed with the ‘Easter egg’ clues that they have left behind over the past three years.
Taken individually, they’re funny little moments between a very famous couple. But put them together and they start painting a rather different picture.
A very raunchy one.
And with their much-anticipated wedding now behind us, it’s safe to assume their honeymoon will be steamy, judging by the racy details of their sex life that they’ve not-so-subtly shared.

For reasons that completely escape me, the world still insists on treating Swift like she’s permanently frozen in her Love Story era, twirling around in a princess dress waiting for Prince Charming. But the woman is now 36 and has spent the last decade writing some of the horniest lyrics in mainstream pop.
Remember when she casually announced in the song Dress, ‘Only bought this dress so you could take it off’? That was our first clue America’s sweetheart had quietly grown up while the rest of us were still making friendship bracelets.
Then she released False God and declared, ‘The altar is my hips.’ That’s neither coy nor disguised behind layers of metaphor. It was expressing physical desire with the confidence of someone who’d stopped worrying whether people thought she was a ‘good girl.’
Then came Guilty as Sin? which revolves entirely around fantasy, temptation and wanting someone intensely. I still remember listening to her sing, ‘My bedsheets are ablaze’ and thinking, ‘Good lord, Taylor.’ It was a sign our bubblegum popstar had very much lost her virginity.
I suppose her body count – Matt Healy, John Mayer, Harry Styles, Jake Gyllenhaal and that grumpy-looking Joe Alwyn to name just a few – may have been a giveaway.
But then came her infamous song with the tongue-in-cheek title Wood, and the metaphor was clocked worldwide. The song dresses itself up as being about superstition and luck, but by the second verse, she’s comparing Travis to a Redwood tree in lyrics that leave absolutely nothing to the imagination:
‘Redwood tree, it ain’t hard to see / His love was the key that opened my thighs/ Girls, I don’t need to catch the bouquet, mm / To know a hard rock is on the way.’
Girlfriend had really kick-started her libido. No wonder she wore that T charm on her thigh to the VMAs.
Even Taylor shocked herself, telling Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show that she didn’t know how the song got as filthy as it did, but that she loved it anyway. Travis’s brother Jason wasn’t shy about clocking it either, teasing him on their podcast that the song was unmistakably about him.
But it seems Travis had already popped up in the album before that. Her song So High School was a late addition to The Tortured Poets Department album and included the line, ‘Touch me while your bros play Grand Theft Auto.’
That single lyric tells me more about her relationship than a thousand paparazzi photos ever could, because women don’t suddenly become playful like that unless they’re with somebody who makes sex feel light-hearted rather than loaded with expectation.

And if that wasn’t enough proof, a source once told the Daily Mail that ‘they get their own workouts in together just as other young couples in love do. She finds him the most romantic man she has ever been with, and he is all about making her comfortable.’
This brings me to Travis. Years before he ever met Taylor, he was asked about relationship dealbreakers. His answer was straight to the point: ‘If she doesn’t like oral.’
Sure, he was laughing while he said it, but he didn’t backtrack or bury it. Most men would’ve reached for something predictable, like loyalty, trust, good communication or kindness. Travis went straight to sexual enthusiasm.
Whether he meant giving, receiving or simply wanting a partner who genuinely enjoys sex, doesn’t matter. The point is that, in his mind, a healthy sex life wasn’t some optional bonus that kicked in once the mortgage was paid and the dishwasher was unpacked. It was right there at the top of the list. Bravo, good sir.
Now place that beside Taylor’s lyrics and it paints a passionate picture. A woman who has gradually become more comfortable writing about lust than heartbreak and a man who has never seemed remotely embarrassed by the fact he enjoys sex.
No wonder they look like two teenagers who’ve just discovered making out.
And then, of course, there’s how it all started.
There was no game-playing, none of the cryptic nonsense a modern dating coach would recommend. Travis didn’t send messages through mutual friends or flex an ego.
Acting like the big golden retriever he is, he made Taylor Swift a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it. He admitted he was disappointed he couldn’t meet her after her show because she had to save her voice – and cheerfully told millions of people the story on his podcast. Taylor later said she found the whole thing ‘metal as hell.’
He used old-school flirting and a bit of bravado. For the love of God, can we bring that back? This kind of mating ritual seems to have gone extinct somewhere around the invention of the ‘read’ receipt.
Perhaps that’s why their chemistry feels so different. Neither of them seems remotely interested in pretending they’re above desire. They act like two hormonal teenagers in love.

So, is this real love or is this just one big lust windstorm they’ve gotten caught up in?
There’s one more Easter egg that might be the biggest sign yet that this couple has staying power.
Taylor finished the biggest tour in music history and instead of immediately announcing another giant project, she largely disappeared into life with Travis. The world’s most ambitious woman voluntarily clearing her calendar? If that ain’t love, I don’t know what is.
Maybe I’m wrong and they’re spending every evening doing Sudoku before an early bedtime. But if that’s the case, Taylor Swift has somehow managed to write the sexiest songs of her career while dating a man who openly deems oral sex a relationship essential.
We’ve seen this before: Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee. Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton, with their strange necklace vials of each other’s blood.
Either way, time will tell, as it often does with celebrity couples. I give them at least a solid ten years more.
