Travis Kelce reportedly has “zero concern” about the fact that his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, may have drawn inspiration from past relationships for her upcoming album, “The Tortured Poets Department.”

“If it is about Joe [Alwyn], or anyone, even if it is about him in the future, this is the artist she is and he is in love with her and doesn’t pay any attention to be jealous,” a source told the Daily Mail on Thursday.

“He understands this is a major part of what makes her the person and artist she is and he is no way looking to thwart the direction she takes.”

The insider insisted that Kelce, 34, is “100 percent” supportive of Swift’s creative choices, as she has explained them all to him, and he “loves everything she is doing.”

“They have talked about the album and what the songs are all about,” the source added. “Joe or any of her exes is not of concern to him whatsoever.”

Page Six has reached out to Kelce’s rep for comment but did not immediately hear back.

Swift, also 34, dated Alwyn, 33, for six years before they split in early 2023. The couple had a serious relationship and were even rumored to be engaged at one point.

When Swift announced her eleventh studio album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” at the 2024 Grammy Awards in February, fans immediately noticed the title was likely a nod to the British actor.

As one Swiftie pointed out at the time, Alwyn previously disclosed in an interview with GQ UK that he had a group chat with pals Paul Mescal and Andrew Scott called the Tortured Man Club.

Swift, of course, has a History of writing songs about her exes and putting them on blast in the process.

The pop superstar’s song “Style” is rumored to be about Harry Styles, “All to Well” is about Jake Gyllenhaal, “Dear John” is about John Mayer and “Back to December” is about Taylor Lautner.

Last year, the latter joked that he was “praying” for Mayer, 46, since “Speak Now” was set to be re-released as part of Swift’s plan to re-record all of her early albums.

“I think it’s a great album,” the “Twilight” alum told Today.com in May 2023. “Yeah, I feel safe.”

Lautner, 32, then quipped, “Praying for John.”

Swifties have already warned Alwyn to “count [his] days” given some of the brutal names featured on the 17-song tracklist for “The Tortured Poets Department.”

Some of the eye-raising titles include “So Long, London,” “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived,” “My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys,” “But Daddy I Love Him” and “I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can).”

At a recent pop-up in Los Angeles to promote the album, fans found an open book that read, “Even statues crumble / If they’re made to wait,” which they interpreted to be about Alwyn.

“Omgggg she was so excited to marry him she would’ve marry him with paper rings but he was just wasting time,” one Swiftie speculated via X earlier this week.

Another weighed in, “My girlie wanted to be his bride so much,” and a third added, “she waited six years for that ring 🥺.”

Despite which tracks are or aren’t about Alwyn, Kelce has reportedly already chosen his favorites.

The Daily Mail’s source also told the outlet that the Super Bowl champ likes “Down Bad” and “loml” best but that he actually “loves everything he has heard.”

“He can’t wait to buy her album and support her that way,” the insider added of Kelce. “He is very excited for her and for people to hear it and be there for the next phase of her career.”

“The Tortured Poets Department” is set to officially be released on Friday.
