Superstar Taylor Swift knows 'all too well' how to make sure those closest to her know they are loved!
Whether it's her dedicated fanbase of 'Swifties,' certain song subjects, or her significant others, the "Love Story" songstress is keen on acknowledging their influence. Sometimes, she's more subtle than other times; remember the song "Hey Stephen?"
In this case, the 34-year-old pop icon is paying tribute to her boyfriend of more than a year, Travis Kelce, in a manner she has perfected.
Swift is making sure the love she has for her football fella is commemorated on National Boyfriend Day, and she's seemingly being quite sneaky about it.
Many Swifties are already on the case, having broken out their metaphorical magnifying glasses to decode their favorite singer's sweetly subtle message to the Kansas City Chiefs tight end!
Taylor Swift Has Been Quite Busy Lately

Swift and Kelce's 'love story' has largely unfolded publicly during NFL Sundays, where fans can catch a glimpse of the "I Think He Knows" songstress supporting her man up in the stands nearly every week.
Some eagle-eyed fans have noticed the superstar missing from her man's games lately; the rumor mill has attempted to attribute Swift's absence to a snag in their love story, but that isn't so, per insiders close to the couple.
As previously reported by The Blast, an insider to the Swift-Kelce camp put an end to those whispers via an interview with TMZ.
The "To All The Girls You've Loved Before" singer has been heavily involved with 'Eras Tour' rehearsals ahead of its final shows in the latter part of the year. The tour is set to come to a close on December 8th in Vancouver.
The Vibes Are Infectious With 'Tayvis!'
The couple's love for each other remains solid and it is evident to the closest members of Kelce's crew!
The youngest Kelce brother's kindergarten-era best buddy remains tight with him to the day. Aric Jones has had his fair share of time getting to know his best friend's other half and he is a big supporter of the vibes that Ms. Swift is bringing to the table.
Jones recently opened up and shared what it's really like to hang around the twosome. The "Fortnight" singer reportedly has an "open invitation" to the "theme nights" that Kelce and his buddies regularly enjoy!

The pop icon's latest merchandise drop in support of her latest LP, "The Tortured Poets Department," seemingly brings the same cozy vibes Swift channeled with her famous "folklore" cardigans, but they also include a special detail!
Soon after Swift's management company, Taylor Nation, announced the drop, fans began to pick up on an aspect of the "Tourtured Poets Department" themed merch: it is named after a lyric from the 'TTPD' song, "The Alchemy." October 3rd is also National Boyfriend Day, per E! News!
Making their way to X to chat about all things related to Swift's latest merchandise release, Swifties soon got the hashtag "So High School" trending. "So High School" is also a track from "The Tourtured Poets Department," and is widely thought to be about Kelce.
"Literally only Taylor would release a “greatest in the league” collection on National BF day when her BF’s team is 4-0 currently," one Swiftie posted.
"unpopular opinion but a lot of taylor’s recent love songs before travis actually have a very anxious undertone. so when people called so high school and the alchemy childess they were actually just proving that it was a safe and fun love. no one filled with fear. which is better," another Swiftie chimed in.
"The Alchemy themed merchandise drop on Travis' birthday week and national boyfriend day..." the same Swiftie noted in a seperate tweet.
A Guitar Featuring The 'Guilty As Sin?' Singer's Likeness Was Smashed
Not all Swift-themed merchandise is well loved.
A guitar featuring the "Peter" singer's signature poster from The Eras Tour was recently auctioned off to a buyer who publicly smashed the guitar after purchasing it.
The buyer spent $4,000 on the guitar and his actions quickly drew widespread criticism, as The Blast previously reported.
The man, who is a supporter of former President Donald Trump, soon explained his reasoning for destroying the guitar last weekend in Texas.
The 67-year-old recipient of the guitar said there was "nothing malicious" behind his actions, and he did it as a joke. The auctioneer also echoed that there was no 'bad blood," revealing it had been "funny" to the younger members of the audience.
"It was a funny, light-hearted thing. I know maybe it seemed to be malicious, but everybody was laughing," the auctioneer told the news outlet. "There were people there, at the time, who joked around that he's mad because he doesn't know how to play the guitar."
Taylor Swift's Team Revealed Guitar Was Not Official
A source close to the "Wildest Dreams" singer later spoke out regarding the viral smashed guitar and revealed it wasn't actually autographed by Swift.
The insider shared with the Huffington Post that any authentic Swift merchandise would feature a certificate of authenticity, whereas this particular guitar didn't have one, as The Blast previously reported.
After speaking with the man, the auctioneer noted it was clear his actions had been politically motivated, inspired by Swift's recent endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris.
