More about Taylor Swift's new album, as the singer reveals which song is Travis Kelce's favorite

Taylor Swift's new album, titled The Life of a Showgirl, which was released on October 3, features twelve tracks, with Opalite emerging as the favorite song for both Travis Kelce and her father. During her appearance on The Graham Norton Show, the "Style" singer explained how the song serves as a metaphor for the trials she has endured. She said:

"He really crushed it in surprising me. While we were talking on his podcast, he had a complete garden built out the back of his house to propose in. He went all out – 10 out of 10.”

She further added that the proposal came at the perfect time in her life. She said:

"It just comes from the most infectiously joyful, wild, dramatic place I was in my life."
