Travis Kelce is absolutely buzzing about his wife Taylor Swift’s new song “Cleveland!”, and he thinks it just gave the Cleveland Guardians a massive boost heading into October baseball. Kelce didn’t hold back his excitement on Wednesday’s episode of his New Heights podcast, dropping some strong language to describe the Guardians’ current vibe. It’s clear he believes this new track is a serious good luck charm for the AL Central champs.

Tay Tay’s Anthem for the Guardians

Swift dropped “Cleveland!” last Friday. It was one of four new songs included in a fresh release of her 2025 album, *The Life of a Showgirl*. The song even features a nod to Kelce’s roots with the lyric, “He already took me to Cleveland and he showed me the Heights.” But the real kicker for baseball fans came when Kelce talked about the track on his podcast. “We’ve got October baseball and the f–king Guards got a bye… Cleveland is rocking right now. Shout out to Tay Tay for making that song,” Kelce said, making it crystal clear he’s all in on this celebrity-fueled playoff run. “I love it.”

October Baseball Just Got Wilder

Coincidence? Maybe. But Swift released her new songs the day *before* the Guardians went out and clinched the AL Central title and snagged a first-round bye. Talk about perfect timing, right? Now, Cleveland gets to chill for a bit, waiting in the ALDS to see who emerges from the Wild Card slugfest between the Chicago White Sox and the Houston Astros. The White Sox kicked things off strong with a 6-3 win on Tuesday. If they can pull off another victory tonight in Houston, they’ll be headed to Cleveland. Whichever team survives that Wild Card matchup will be making the trip to Cleveland when the ALDS officially kicks off this Saturday. Get ready for some wild October baseball, because with a superstar anthem and an energized tight end, the Guardians are coming in hot.
