Swifties don't miss anything when it comes to trying to decode what could be next for Taylor Swift. 

And one fan noticed something very interesting earlier this week that could hint at what the singer's next single might be. 

"I’ve done research on So High School being played on the radio and have results.

It has been played 17 times in the past 60 days. It gets played a lot on the Hits radio station (where all the singles get played usually)

Down Bad has been played once on a very random station

Florida was also played 7 times but not on the hits radio station

Fortnight 700+, ICDIWABH 1000+ (mostly on the hits radio station)

So in conclusion, I’m reallllly leaning toward SHS as a single and it’s starting to get pushed more to test the waters 🙏," one user on X wrote. 

Another fan even guessed what the cover might look like. 

And for anyone that isn't aware, 'So High School' happens to be a song from Taylor Swift's latest album that is about the Kansas City Chiefs tight end. In it, she talks about her current romance, comparing it to a high-school romance.

She even added this song to her setlist for the Eras Tour, with numerous references to the tight end. She and the rest of the dancers appear to be on bleachers, with red and yellow lights flashing through the stadium. And Swift and her backup dancers even were swag surfing, which is a popular dance that is heavily associated with the Chiefs.

When the song was first released, Swift has numerous lines that people quickly realized were about Kelce.

  • "You know how to ball, I know Aristotle."
  • Are you gonna marry, kiss, or kill me (Kill me) / It's just a game, but really (Really) / I'm bettin' on all three for us two (All three)
  • I feel like laughing in the middle of practice / To that impression you did of your dad again

And Travis has even admitted that this happens to be one of his favorite songs. 

"I might be a little biased to 'So High School," he said. 

Fans believe Travis Kelce might have teared up during Taylor Swift's mashup during Amsterdam Eras Tour show

In her Wildest Dreams, Taylor Swift probably never could have imagined how happy she would be at this exact moment.

The singer proudly tells the world that Travis Kelce is hers at every chance she gets. (And he responds each and every time.)

One specific night in July was no different.

It was actually extra special compared to her normal tributes.

Fans wait patiently every single night for the surprise song section of Swift's Eras Tour show, not knowing what the singer has up her sleeve. At the start of her shows, Swift would pick just two songs to perform. But now, she has been incorporating numerous mashups, allowing her to pick many different songs from her diverse discography. 

On Saturday night, with Kelce in the crowd, Swift sang a very special mashup that was clearly dedicated to the Kansas City Chiefs tight end. Plus, it was even better that Patrick and Brittany Mahomes were there to witness it.

Swift sang a mashup of 'Mary's Song,' 'So High School,' and 'Everything Has Changed.'

And during the performance, one fan caught a video of Kelce's reaction, showing Brittany Mahomes going over to see him. Some even think that he might be wiping some tears away. 

Why Taylor Swift chose these songs

Mary's Song

"I'll be 87; you'll be 89."

When Taylor Swift wrote and released this song in 2006, she definitely had no idea that 87 would become such an important number in her life.

But now it has.

That is the number Travis Kelce wears on the football field and 89 represents 1989 – the year that Swift was born.

And for the first time on the Eras Tour, Swift sang those exact lyrics during her surprise song section of the show, performing 'Mary's Song' from her album Debut.

So High School

This one makes the most sense. This is a song Swift recently wrote about her relationship with Travis Kelce. She talks about how this love feels like she is with her high school sweetheart.

"I feel so high school every time I look at you," Swift sings.

And the song is already in the setlist. So Swift thought it was necessary to sing it again, with fans on the third night in Amsterdam getting the opportunity to hear it twice in one night.

"You know how to ball, I know Aristotle."

Everything Has Changed

The chorus goes: "I just wanna know you better, know you better, know you better now."

Enough said.
