“Cleveland!” Is Taylor Swift’s Message to Everyone Judging Her Relationship With Travis Kelce: “Hate All You Like”
· CosmopolitanThe second that Taylor Swift revealed she had a new song called “Cleveland!” dropping on The Life of a Showgirl: The Encore, fans immediately knew the song would almost definitely be about her husband, Travis Kelce.
Not only did Travis grow up in the Cleveland area, Taylor once described him as a “human exclamation point.”
And it looks like everyone was right: the lyrics to “Cleveland!” definitely appear to be about Travis, but are specifically directed at haters judging their relationship with lyrics like, “Now I'm wearing white! So hate all you like!” and “So hate all you like / This is the love of my life!”
Honestly, obsessed.

She's not as hot as she was, but she was only a four
She was never a girls' girl, she was just a–
And with all of that money, why's she dressed like trash?
When she smiles, it's annoying and have you seen her–
Stumbling clumsily
Would you even call that dancing?
I can see what you mean
And now I guess there's
Something we all can agree on
But my baby likes what he likes
He already took me to Cleveland
And showed me The Heights!
So hate all you like
This is the love of my life
Hey! Hey! Hey!
The taste of me is acquired, but it's his favorite dish
He says I look like an angel, they say, "I hate that–"
There, that house with the porch is where he lived as a kid
He's been saying forever, must not have read that–
Scathing take 'bout how I'm fake
And he could find someone younger
I can see what they mean and
Now I guess there's
Something we all can agree on
But my baby likes what he likes
He already took me to Cleveland
And he showed me The Heights!
So hate all you like
This is the love of my life
Hey! Hey! Hey!
He likes what he likes, what he likes and he likes me
He likes what he likes, what he likes and he likes me
You only need to find one person in this entire world (He likes what he likes, what he likes and he likes me)
Who doesn't find you completely insufferable (He likes what he likes, what he likes and he—)
And I have an important announcement to make
I found mine!
Well, I found mine!
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Yeah, I found mine!
Yeah, that's
Something we all can agree on (I guess we agree, but)
My baby likes what he likes
He already took me to Cleveland (To Cleveland)
Now I'm wearing white!
So hate all you like!
This is the love of my life
Hey! Hey! Hey!
