The song features lyrics dedicated to the Kansas City Chiefs player.
"Keep it one hundred/ On the land, the sea, the sky/ Pledge allegiance to your hands/ Your team, your vibes/ Don't care where the hell you been/ 'Cause now you're mine/ It's 'bout to be the sleepless night/You've been dreaming of/ The fate of Ophelia," she sings in the post-chorus.
Swift and Kelce are reportedly getting married in June, but the pair has not confirmed the wedding date. She gave her future husband a special shout-out during her acceptance speech.
"I think that this album probably also feels very happy and confident and free because that’s the way that I get to feel every single day of my life because of my fiancé, who’s here tonight," she said.
"Thanks for all the vibes."
