The Ultimate Tayvis Playlist – Taylor and Travis’ Love Story
A Tayvis playlist taking you from friendship bracelet beginnings, through “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs”, and to “I’ll be eighty-seven, you’ll be eighty-nine, I’ll still look at you like the stars that shine” 🤩
I shared my first Tayvis Playlist for Super Bowl LVIII. The playlist has gone through a few variations since then, and I’m excited to share with you my most updated version! These are all of the songs I’ve come to associate with Taylor and Travis’ “Love Story”. I always put a lot of time and thought into the songs that go on my playlists, and the order. This playlist is no exception! Like I did for my Super Bowl LVI Playlist, I’ve included a walkthrough of this Tayvis Playlist below, sharing why each song made it on the list. Then I have playlist links for Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music and YouTube. So you can listen wherever you prefer – enjoy!
A WALKTHROUGH MY SUPER BOWL PLAYLIST
You’re On Your Own, Kid – it all started with a friendship bracelet! Travis went to see Taylor Swift perform the Eras Tour in Kansas City. After the show, he told his brother Jason on his podcast that he wanted to give Taylor a friendship bracelet with his number on it – you know which number 😉
Last Kiss and dorothea – these were Travis’ first two surprise songs for when he attended Kansas City N2. This was the night that Taylor kept forgetting the lyrics to “Last Kiss” and she was so adorable about it!
Red – The Chiefs’ colors are red and gold! ❤️💛
Getaway Car – On September 24th, 2023, Taylor attended a Chiefs game to support Travis for the first time! The NFL (and loads of us Swifties) were freaking out. After the game, Taylor and Travis were spotted in his (getaway) car!
Fifteen – “Well, in your life you’ll do things greater than dating the boy on the football team.”
Sparks Fly – I haven’t included every single surprise song that Travis heard in all of the Eras Tour shows he attended, but a lot of them did make this playlist! Taylor put so much thought into what songs she sang for each city and each show, so I can’t help but think that when she knew Travis was in audience she might’ve selected some songs especially for him. She sang “Sparks Fly” as a surprise song in Singapore (in a mashup with gold rush), and I thought it fit this playlist perfectly.
The Archer – Travis’ signature move is shooting an arrow. Taylor used the move a lot herself during “So High School” on the Eras Tour. (As well as during “The Archer” itself when it was on the setlist!).
Stay Stay Stay – “That’s when you came in wearing a football helmet”
Electric Touch – One of Travis’ favorite catchphrases is to say that something was “electric” ⚡️
The Albatross – “They tried to warn him about her” Some speculate that Taylor wrote this song to be a lyrical warning from the public to the men that she dates.
You Belong With Me (Taylor’s Version) – The music video shows Taylor as a clarinetist in the marching band, and her love interest as a star football player!
Is It Over Now? x Out Of The Woods – The first mashup Taylor ever performed was for the first Eras Tour show that Travis attended as Taylor’s boyfriend – Buenos Aires N2! She did the epic combination of Is It Over Now with Out Of The Woods and blew all of our minds.
Labyrinth – Travis wasn’t actually at the first show where Taylor performed Labyrinth – Buenos Aires N1. But it was the night before he arrived, and so many of us were thinking it was a message from Taylor that she was “falling in love” 🥰 She also posted a clip of the performance to her Instagram.
How You Get The Girl – Travis’ first Eras Tour show of 2024 had this as its first surprise song – Sydney N1! I also always think of this moment between Taylor and Travis after a Cheifs game whenever I hear the lyric “of pictures in frames and kisses on cheeks”.
End Game – Taylor also sang End Game at that same Buenos Aires N2 show with Travis in attendance.
The Alchemy – “Where’s the trophy, he just comes running over to me“
Love Story – On my previous Tayvis playlist I had multiple people comment that Love Story needed to be added!
Dancing With Our Hands Tied – Although Taylor wrote this song in a different relationship, I feel like the sentiments apply to this relationship as well. It’s not easy to have a relationship while in the public eye, and arguably Taylor and Travis have been much more open about their relationship than Taylor has been in the past. Taylor also performed it in a mashup with “The Albatross” for Dublin N2, which (in my mind) further sets it in this playlist.
Blank Space – In November 2023, Travis revealed in an interview with the Wall Street Journal that his favorite Taylor Swift song was “Blank Space”.
Come Back…Be Here – Travis was at all three of Taylor’s London shows in June 2024. For London N1 Taylor sang an incredible triple mashup (of “The Black Dog” x “Come Back Be Here” x “Maroon”), and the London reference in “Come Back…Back Here” made me include it in this playlist. I also feel like having a relationship between two busy people who are traveling (Taylor for her Eras Tour shows, Travis for his games) would make the sentiments of this song very relatable.
Paris – Continuing with the international vibes, Travis was also at Paris N4, for Taylor’s opening shows of the European Eras Tour leg.
Treacherous – Taylor performed a mashup of “Treacherous” with “The Alchemy” for Paris N4, with Travis in attendance.
I Don’t Wanna Live Forever x Dress – Remember the random time that Taylor Nation started a livestream of Taylor’s surprise song set? It was for Singapore N1’s piano mashup (my caption for this post lol), when Taylor did this mashup of I Don’t Wanna Live Forever with Dress. I still don’t know what was up with that. But I remember people speculating that Taylor requested the livestream for Travis, and ever since I’ve associated this mashup with Tayvis 😋
Death By A Thousand Cuts – In November 2024, Travis expanded on his favorite Taylor Swift songs, adding “Death By A Thousand Cuts” to the list!
Slut! – “In a world of boys, he’s a gentleman”
Holy Ground x Sweeter Than Fiction – For Amsterdam N3’s guitar mashups Taylor did this adorable mashup, with Travis in the audience!
Cornelia Street – “As if the street lights pointed in an arrowhead leading us home.” Arrowhead Stadium is the Chiefs’ stadium! 🏟️
I Can Do It With a Broken Heart – For London N3 Travis made Eras Tour history by becoming the most shocking and epic guest. I’ll never forget the pandemonium that erupted when Travis rose up out of the stage with Kam and Jan for the interlude between “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived” and “I Can Do It With A Broken Heart.” He carried her prone form over to the red sofa, helped touchup her mashup – literally adding color back to her face”, and jauntily took on his cameo role on stage.
Karma – “Karma is the guy on the CHIEFS”. At Travis’ first show after they started Dating (Buenos Aires N2), Taylor introduced a new ending to the Eras Tour, changing the lyrics of “Karma” from “Karma is the guy on the screen”, to “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs.” It became a beloved tradition, and Taylor changed the lyrics every time Travis was in the audience, as well as a couple of additional shows to celebrate Travis’ team the Chiefs pulling off a big win.
Clean – Taylor performed Clean in a triple mashup to finish off her June London shows (London N3), with Travis in the audience.
Begin Again – Taylor performed “Begin Again” for Paris N4, with Travis in the house.
King Of My Heart – For London N4 Taylor did a piano mashup of The Alchemy with King Of My Heart, and the combination just seemed too good to ignore. This was one of my shows(!), and I remember thinking at the end of the surprise song set that the mashups that night had been soo Tayvis coded 🥰
The Prophecy x This Love – “𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘴 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘭𝘦𝘵 𝘪𝘵 𝘨𝘰 𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘦, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘱𝘩𝘦𝘤𝘺” Taylor did a mashup of “The Prophecy” with “This Love” for Indianapolis N2 and the way she combined these lyrics from both songs still gives me chills. This was also Travis’ last Eras Tour show that he attended in person!
This Love x Ours – For Dublin N2 Taylor performed this super sweet mashup, and while Travis wasn’t there, he did make it to Dublin N3! So maybe he was extra on her mind that night?
cowboy like me – This was another song that Travis added to his list of favorite Taylor Swift songs in November 2024. She also sang it as a surprise song for two of Travis’ shows – Amsterdam N2 and Indianapolis N2
You Are In Love – Taylor sang this in a mashup with “cowboy like me” for Amsterdam N2.
So High School – “You know how to ball, I know Aristotle”
Everything Has Changed – For Amsterdam N3 Taylor performed the most Tayvis mashup of all mashups (I’m still crying over the combo of Mary’s Song with So High School and Everything Has Changed 😭).
Mary’s Song (Oh My My My) – “And I’ll be eighty-seven, you’ll be eighty-nine, I’ll still look at you like the stars that shine”
