The relationship between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce has crossed boundaries, and on Valentine’s Day the NFL player sent a direct message to his future wife, with whom he now shares a new facet connected to music-a field where the Kansas City Chiefs standout previously had little experience, but where he now holds influence over her.
Travis Kelce’s impact on Taylor Swift’s career has gone beyond emotional support to become a tangible creative force. Swift’s recent venture into the EDM genre with the remix of “Opalite” is the clearest example of this synergy. It was the Chiefs tight end who arranged the collaboration with DJ Chris Lake.
Kelce, an avid follower of Lake’s work, facilitated the sonic bridge that Taylor publicly acknowledged on her social media and that has now propelled her to the top of the charts in several countries. This influence is an extension of what Swift captured in her song “Redwood,” a track loaded with metaphors about Kelce’s strength and presence, which has sparked a viral phenomenon among the couple’s followers.
Valentine’s Day on New Heights: Between redwoods and wordplay
The podcast New Heights, hosted by Travis and his brother Jason Kelce, did not miss the chance to capitalize on the romance to celebrate Valentine’s Day.
Through its official account on X, the show released a series of virtual cards that blended the brothers’ signature humor with direct references to the superstar’s discography.
The main card, which quickly began trending, features a smiling Travis alongside the message: “Wood you be my Valentine?” The design includes a prominent redwood tree in the upper corner, a direct nod to Taylor’s hit that fans have interpreted with a playful and risqué tone.
In addition, the podcast released a second card centered on Swift’s hobby as an artisan baker. With the phrase “Be my loaf story” and a loaf emoji, the post recalled Taylor’s appearance on the podcast in August 2025.
While some critics such as Dave Portnoy have expressed a degree of discomfort with how openly these references are handled, the “Swiftie Nation” has embraced the gesture from “New Heights,” cementing the couple as the ultimate standard-bearers of love and marketing on this February 14, 2026.
