NEW YORK, NY—On Monday, August 18, 2025, Taylor Swift dished on crafting her upcoming album The Life of a Showgirl while boyfriend Travis Kelce binged Family Guy. The Taylor-Swift-Travis-Kelce-Family-Guy backdrop shaped her creative process.
“Travis was glued to the couch, munching Cheez-Its, laughing at Quagmire,” Swift shared. “His ‘ha ha ha’ sneaks into the tracks.” While Sabrina Carpenter is the only featured artist, Kelce’s Family Guy obsession influenced songs like Eldest Daughter, with subtle Meg nods.

Unlike The Tortured Poets Department’s American Dad vibe, Kelce’s Family Guy fixation occasionally annoyed Swift. “But art thrives on chaos,” she quipped. Analyst Lisa Hart noted, “Kelce’s TV habit is Swift’s quirky muse.”
Swift credited Kelce and Seth MacFarlane as co-writers. Check pop culture scoops at Rolling Stone. At press time, fans were hunting for Quagmire Easter eggs.
