Travis Kelce addresses Taylor Swift’s raunchy song ‘Wood’ all about his manhood

Key Points

• Travis Kelce addressed fiancée Taylor Swift’s spicy song “Wood” with his brother Jason Kelce on their New Heights podcast.

• The Life of a Showgirl song surprised listeners with its innuendo-laden lyrics, which see Swift talk about a new lover’s “redwood tree” and their love being the “key that opened my thighs.”

• Kelce, who the song is presumably about, played it cool, calling it a “great song.”

Travis Kelce wasn’t cocky when it came time to share his thoughts about fiancée Taylor Swift’s spicy song, “Wood.”

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end broke his silence on the innuendo-filled track — which is filled to the brim with eyebrow-raising references to his manhood — during the latest episode of his and brother Jason Kelce’s New Heights podcast.

“How do you feel about ‘Wood?’” Jason began, dropping a question that truly only a sibling could get away with asking.

Travis, keeping his cool, simply replied, “It’s a great song.”

The ninth track on her new album, The Life of a Showgirl, “Wood,” sees Swift play on the idea of superstitions like lucky pennies, wishing on shooting stars, and black cats. However, the song soon treads into much more suggestive territory as Swift discusses a suitor, presumably fiancé Travis Kelce, and their “redwood tree,” singing, “It ain’t hard to see / His love was the key / That opened my thighs.”

Even their New Heights podcast gets a shoutout on the song, courtesy of Travis showing Swift the “New Heights of manhood.”

So, naturally, Jason wasn’t letting Travis skirt the question that easily. “Do you feel… I’m trying to think of the word… not confident… Do you feel cocky about the song ‘Wood?’” he pressed. 

“No,” Travis responded. “Any song that she references me in is very…”

But Jason wasn’t having it. “That’s not just any song,” he emphasized. “This is a very specific you.”

Poker face still firmly in place, Travis replied, “I love that girl, so what do you mean? Any song that she would reference me in that way…”

“It’s not just you. It’s an appendage,” Jason deadpanned. “It’s a very specific thing.”

“What?” Travis replied, feigning innocence about the song’s subject matter. “I think you’re not understanding the song. No way.”

So Jason was happy to remind his younger brother of the song’s lyrics. “Jesus Christ, Travis, come on! Redwood tree, ain’t hard to see,” he said, making Travis burst into laughter. “I thought redwood was a little bit… that’s a generous word, I think.”

He continued, “I think if somebody wrote a song about me, it’d be like, ‘Japanese maple / Sometimes can see.’”

When it became obvious that Travis wasn’t going to be dishing any further on the track, Jason concluded, “That song’s great though. The freaking beat to that song is fantastic and that’s right up my alley, so well done. I think it’s a great song.”

Travis isn’t the only one who has had to field questions about the song — Swift found herself getting red in the face as she discussed the track on Monday’s episode of The Tonight Show.

“It really started out in a very innocent place,” she told host Jimmy Fallon. She later added, “I don’t know what happened, man. I got in there, we started vibing, and I don’t know… I don’t know how we got here.”

Still, she conceded, “I love the song so much.”

Swift also admitted on a recent SiriusXM Hits 1 interview that her mom, Andrea, thinks (or, honestly, prefers to believe) the song is just about superstitions and making your own luck. “Which it absolutely is,” she confirmed. “That’s the joy of the double entendre. You can read that song for people and it just goes right over their head. You see in that song what you want to see in that song.”

The Life of a Showgirl is available now. Watch Travis and Jason discuss “Wood” in the podcast above.
