Kelce Brothers Weigh In on Taylor Swift's New 'Cleveland!' Track
Travis and Jason Kelce shared their positive reactions to Taylor Swift's latest song, which references her romance with the NFL star and his hometown.
Brothers Travis and Jason Kelce have offered their opinions on Taylor Swift's recently released music, specifically a new track titled 'Cleveland!' that references her relationship with the NFL player. Swift dropped four new songs on The Life of a Showgirl: The Encore, and 'Cleveland!' quickly garnered attention on social media.
During an episode of their podcast, 'New Heights,' the Kelce brothers expressed their enjoyment of the new material. Travis Kelce praised the song for celebrating his hometown, stating, "Cleveland is rocking right now! Shoutout to Tay Tay for making that song and just giving the city a little more life."
Jason Kelce echoed his brother's enthusiasm, noting that the track has been frequently played in his home. "Dude, that song is incredible," Jason said. "Kylie and I have been listening to it so much. There's just something about it that makes you feel real good. It's a great song."
The lyrics of "Cleveland!" include lines such as "Something we all can agree on / But my baby likes what he likes, oh-woah, oh-oh / He already took me to Cleveland / And showed me The Heights, so hate all you like / This is the love of my life." The song also features a subtle allusion to their relationship with the line, "Now I'm wearing white / So hate all you like."
Swift also released an accompanying lyric video that included personal home footage of the couple during a visit to Cleveland. Alongside "Cleveland!", the extended release includes three other songs: "Patient Zero," "Pink Clouding," and "Babylon."
While the Kelce brothers offered a positive review, some critics have described the new music as "derivative and flat." Avant-garde musician Todd Rundgren, in a recent interview, criticized Swift, calling her "the apotheosis of mediocrity" and suggesting she has "ruined music." Rundgren contrasted Swift with artists like Lady Gaga, whom he described as a "real musician" and "classically trained piano player."
