Will Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding affect his music?

Each fairy tale needs a happy ending, and after 11 albums of love, sorrow and broken dreams, Taylor Swift found his prince charming. But after announcing his engagement to Travis Kelce, what will the found happiness of Swift for his music mean?

Swift’s biggest gift as a lyricist is the way she weaves her own story in her songs, balancing complex and specific details with universal themes of love, hope, sorrow and betrayal.

And from the start, the musician’s love life was the connective tissue of his writing.

His first single, Tim McGraw, written during a school math class, was all about his then boyfriend, Drew Dunlap.

Believing that they would separate before leaving for the university (a premonition that has been realized), she wrote a song to commemorate the moments when they would have slow in the Moonlight to the Autradio: “When you think Tim McGraw / I hope you think of me.“”

It is a timeless story – that which is intended to be repeated during the weeks of Fresher across the country this fall – and sparked a career story on the romantic tribulations of Swift.

She wrote on emotionally unavailable men (Jake Gyllenhaal, too well), falling in love with a bad boy (Harry Styles, I knew you were in trouble) and plump romances (Tom Hiddleston, because Getaway Car).

Throughout all this, she was aware of the level of obsessive debate around her relationships. By shaking up, she made fun of the media speech: “I do too much dates / But I can’t make them stay / at least, that’s what people say.“”

The empty space went a little further, taking all the horrible rumors about its love life and amplifying it with a satirical relish.

“Over the past two years, the media have had a wonderful fixation to paint me as a girl from psycho series,” she told Grammy Museum. “Each article was like:” Here is Taylor Swift standing near a guy. Watch out for a guy! “”

“My first reaction was to be like” it’s a disappointment. It’s not fun for me “.

“But my second reaction was: ‘Hey, it is actually a really interesting character they write on: she sets around the world by collecting men – and she can get it, but she is so sticky that they leave and she cries in her marble bathtub surrounded by pearls’.

“I said to myself:” I can use this “.”

This is a theme to which she returned to last year but dad I love her – where she compared the online criticisms of her relationship with the Matty Healy in the years 1975 to a village full of Puritains brandishing the fork.

Confronted with her audience, she rumbled: “I will tell you something on my right name / It is me alone for disgrace / I do not answer all these vipers dressed in Empath clothes.“”

Now, it is reductive to launch the rear catalog of Swift (274 songs and count) to a soap opera on his love life.

She wrote insightful and full -minded words about the media (“You would not last an hour in the asylum where they raised me“, Who is afraid of the little old me?); About the joyful ties of friendship (“We are happy, free, confused and alone in the best way“, 22) and even get away with a murder (“I cleaned enough houses to know how to cover a scene“, No body no crime).

But not for nothing, she was called “Greatest Diariste de Pop” and “The Maestro de la Mémoire”.

So what’s going on when she settles? As his friend and collaborator Florence Welch de Florence and the machine pointed out: “Contest is a creativity killer.”

“Conjugal happiness and domestic boredom tend to make less interesting rock songs than the search for love”, agrees the journalist and author Hadley Freeman, speaking on the TODAY program of BBC Radio 4.

For proof, look no further than Bruce Springsteen. In 1991, he married his teammate Patti Scialfa, dissolved E Street Band and moved to California.

Springsteen celebrated his new serenity with two albums, Human Touch and Lucky Town – but they are regularly classified as his worst.

Female artists have frequently used it as a source of inspiration.

Ray of Light of Madonna, written after the birth of his daughter Lourdes, avoided his impetuous character from the 1980s for a more spiritual psychedelic sound. In the middle of the steep competition, he remains his best album, and I will fight anyone who says the opposite.

When Beyoncé revealed her baby bump on stage at the 2011 MTV Awards, the columnists stumbled to speculate what it could mean for her music. But her next album, Beyoncé from 2013, was a turning point – a futuristic, experimental and futuristic R&B album that established the model for the third act of his career.

Swift has already proven that she could write affecting and moving songs from a place of happiness. His six -year relationship with Joe Alwyn generated songs like Delate and Lover, which ranked among his best work.

She has already written two songs on Kelce, which both appeared on the album of the Torred Poets department last year.

In high school, she described how her chivalry restored her faith among men (“Get the door of my car, isn’t it soft?“), while the alchemy rhapsodized at the moment when he won the Super Bowl and ignored the trophy to” come and run towards me “.

The star recently confirmed that her next 12th album, The Life of A Showgirl, is “more optimistic” than the rest of the material in the tortured poet department – which was largely concerned about his separation from Alwyn and a tumultuous relationship with Healy.

Speaking on the New Heights Podcast, she said that the showgirl had been recorded during the European leg of her record time tour – placing her in the first stages of her relationship with Kelce.

“It comes, as, the most infectiously joyful, wild and dramatic place in my life … And therefore this effervescence was on this disc,” she said.

In summary more succinctly, Kelce described the album as “12 Bangers”.

So, to return to the original question: will Taylor’s music reflect his new happiness? It would be weird if it was not.

But let’s not forget that his last period of domestic happiness, during the relationship with Alwyn, also sparked a detour to the words of the newspaper’s entrance.

The albums of the folklore pandemic era and have always embraced the fictitious and fantastic narration, against a background of organic acoustic sound landscapes.

They marked a turning point in the cultural acclamation of Swift, rejuvenating his career after the album of unequal and poorly received lover.

If marriage causes another change, it could open a brand new chapter in his career.

“There is a whole kingdom of other documents when you are married or installed,” said the time of the radio woman 4. “So, it is another type of fairy tale, another type of fantasy, in which she is now entering.”

Some fans have already stressed that the star’s lucky number is 13 – and her 13th album will be the first to contact her wedding.

For swings concerned with the conspiracy, it almost seems that she planned it throughout.
