We have a play call from Taylor Swift: “Call the amateurs and cut them from the team!”
The second-to-last song on “The Tortured Poets Department,” “The Alchemy,” is one of the only pure love songs on an album that skews melancholy.
This is a story of a love that “happens once every few lifetimes,” Swift’s narrator sings. Alchemy refers to the quest in ancient and Medieval times to find a philosopher’s stone, which would make it possible to turn any substance, like lead, into gold.
In the context of relationships, like this song, alchemy could suggest the meeting of two people to form something wholly new, though something inexplicable (like, cough, love).
Beyond medieval magic, what’s especially notable is that “The Alchemy” is replete with football imagery
Swift’s boyfriend Travis Kelce — to whom she has been linked since her first Chiefs game appearance in September 2023 — was not expected to be the focus of the album.
But “The Alchemy” seemingly equates love to football and “winning streaks.” (Kelce’s Chiefs are certainly on one of those, having won the Super Bowl two years in a row.)
“There was no chance / Trying to be the greatest in the league,” Swift sings.
