• Taylor Swift released her highly anticipated twelfth album, The Life of a Showgirl, on Oct. 3.
  • The album includes a ton of songs about her beau, Travis Kelce…including her NSFW track, “Wood.”
  • Travis has finally reacted to the song on the most recent episode of his podcast, New Heights.

Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl is officially upon us, and it’s pretty much a massive love letter to her guy on the Chiefs, Travis Kelce. Of course, that includes her NSFW ode to his manhood, “Wood,” and now, the pro athlete has broken his silence on the song.

During the October 8 episode of his New Heights podcast with Jason Kelce, Travis fully gushed about Tay’s new album. “Let’s just give it up for Taylor, you guys. She’s done it again. She’s put the world on tilt, it’s been so fun to see everyone’s reactions,” the Chiefs tight end said as he applauded his fiancée.

When his brother asked how he feels about “Wood,” Travis simply responded, “It’s a great song.”

Jason then egged him on a bit further, playfully inquiring whether he felt “cocky” about the track.

Travis responded, “No. Any song that she references me in is very...” before Jason interrupted him with, “That’s not just any song. This is a very specific you.”

“I love that girl, so what do you mean? Any song that she would reference me in that way...” Travis continued his original train of thought, as Jason added, “It’s not just you. It’s an appendage. It’s a very specific thing.”

The track features pointed lyrics about Travis’ manhood and references the superstition of knocking on wood, which the NFL star teased his brother about. “What?” Travis said. “I think you’re not understanding the song.”

Jason was having none of his antics, though. “Travis, come on,” he said, referencing Taylor’s infamous lyrics. “Redwood tree ain’t hard to see... I thought redwood, that’s a little bit, that’s a generous word, I think. I think if somebody wrote a song about me, it’d be like, ‘Japanese maple sometimes can see.’”

The song wasn’t always laden with double entendres about the “new heights” of Travis’ manhood, though. Taylor revealed that the track originally had a “very innocent” intention behind it during her October 6 interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

“I brought this into the studio and I was like, ‘I wanna do sort of like a throwback kind of timeless-sounding song,’” she explained, adding, “And I had this idea about, ‘I ain’t gotta knock on wood,’ and I would knock on wood and it would be all these superstitions. And it really started out in a very innocent place.”

“I don’t know what happened, man,” she continued. “I got in there, we started vibing and I don’t know, I don’t know how we got here. But I love the song so much.”

Same, Tay. Same.
