‘Confirmed’: Taylor Swift Gives Travis Kelce the Ultimate Valentine’s Shoutout, Naming Him Her ‘In-House House Guy’ for Coordinating the Surprise ‘Opalite’ House Remix with DJ Chris Lake
Taylor Swift’s Valentine’s Day Sweetheart Shoutout: Travis Kelce Crowned Her “In-House House Guy” for Making the ‘Opalite’ Remix Happen
On the morning of Valentine’s Day 2026, Taylor Swift treated fans to one of her most charming, pun-filled Instagram Stories yet — a playful confirmation that her fiancé, Travis Kelce, has officially earned the title of her personal “in-house house guy.”

The moment came after DJ and house music producer Chris Lake shared an adorable (and now-viral) screenshot series of his DM conversation with Kelce, revealing how the Kansas City Chiefs tight end helped bring Lake’s high-energy remix of Swift’s track “Opalite” to life. Swift reposted the exchange to her own Stories with the caption: “Confirmed, Travis is my in-house house guy ” — a clever double entendre blending “house husband” vibes with the literal house music genre.
The story unfolded back in January 2026, when Lake — a respected name in EDM circles — slid into Kelce’s DMs after hearing that Swift and her fiancé were fans of his work. “Just heard you and Taylor were listening to my tracks… I’m going to take a crack at remixing this track for Taylor,” Lake wrote. Kelce, clearly thrilled, responded enthusiastically: “You’re a legend bro love everything you come out with… Can’t wait to see how you put it together man.”
Days later, Lake sent over the finished remix. Kelce’s reaction was pure hype — exploding-head and fire emojis galore. “It’s so good dawg, I’m gonna be rippin this s*** every car ride!!” he replied, adding the key detail: *“She loves it too!! She said her teams gonna reach out asap!”*
That green light from Swift led to the official Chris Lake remix of “Opalite” becoming available for preorder on limited-edition CD singles — a collectible drop that ties perfectly into the post-Eras Tour era rollout of material from her latest album, The Life of a Showgirl. Lake captioned his announcement post: “When @killatrav & @taylorswift hit you about an official remix.. you get it done :)”
Swift’s Valentine’s Day repost turned the sweet behind-the-scenes story into instant headline fodder. Fans flooded X (formerly Twitter) with reactions ranging from “Fiancé goals unlocked” to “Travis really out here securing the bag AND the beats.” The pun landed perfectly: Kelce isn’t just supporting Swift’s music career from the sidelines — he’s actively connecting dots in the electronic music world, thanks to his own love for house and EDM.
The couple’s easy chemistry shone through even in this small moment. Just weeks earlier, Swift’s “Opalite” music video (directed with a nostalgic, star-studded touch and even featuring a Graham Norton cameo in behind-the-scenes chatter) had already been climbing charts and dominating playlists. The house remix adds another layer — a club-ready evolution that feels like a natural extension of Swift’s ongoing genre experimentation.
For Swifties, it’s another reminder of how intertwined the power couple’s worlds have become since their relationship went public in 2023. Kelce has attended multiple Eras Tour shows, worn friendship bracelets, and cheered from suite seats; Swift has been spotted at Chiefs games in custom #87 gear. Now, he’s moonlighting as her unofficial A&R connect in the house scene.
As Valentine’s Day unfolds across time zones, this lighthearted IG Story has already racked up massive reposts and quote-tweets. One fan summed it up best: “Travis Kelce went from catching passes to catching remixes. Multitasking king.”
Happy Valentine’s Day from the ultimate match made in pop-and-NFL heaven — where love languages apparently include DMs, prayer emojis, and perfectly timed house drops.
