Wednesday's episode of the FX horror series saw the 34-year-old athlete make his first appearance as Ed Lachlan, a potential love interest for leading lady Lois Tryon (played by Niecy Nash-Betts).

Lois and Ed first meet in the hospital where Lois' husband remains in a coma, and the two quickly flirt up a storm before the detective drives away from the hospital – and winds up crashing her car.

Back at the hospital with Ed as her nurse, the two wind up hatching an escape plan where they flee from the hospital in a red convertible – a getaway car, if you will!

Of course, Swifties gushed over the moment's seeming nods to Taylor, as the 34-year-old singer has a fan-favorite hit called Getaway Car on her 2017 album Reputation.

But that isn't all, as, after making their first appearance as a couple in September 2023, Taylor and Travis famously departed Arrowhead Stadium in – you guessed it – a red convertible.

While that all may have been a coincidence, the Karma artist made a more deliberate nod of her own on Thursday as she debuted a fitting new merch collection on National Boyfriend Day.

As couple pics flooded social media, Taylor Nation unveiled a new collection called The Greatest in the League featuring sweatshirts, sweatpants, and more inspired by The Tortured Poets Department.

The collection borrows its name from a lyric from The Alchemy – a track of the album that is all but confirmed to be inspired by Travis himself.

The Kansas City tight end previously named The Alchemy as one of his top three Taylor songs, along with Blank Space and So High School – the latter of which is also believed to be inspired by their romance!
