Travis seemed caught off guard when his brother, Jason Kelce, brought up Taylor Swift’s 12th album, The Life of a Showgirl, on the Wednesday episode of their podcast, New Heights.

“’Wood.’ Great, great soundtrack,” Jason said.

Travis couldn’t help but laugh, agreeing with his brother, who then asked if he felt confident or “cocky” about the track.

“No,” the Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end replied. “Any song, you know, that she references me in is very… I love that girl, what do you mean? Any song that she would reference me in any way…”

Jason then tried to clarify the song’s meaning, explaining it was about Travis’ “appendage” and not him specifically.

“What? I think you’re not understanding the song. No way!” Travis protested.

“Redwood tree / Ain’t hard to see,” the former Philadelphia Eagles center teased, referencing lyrics from Wood.

“I thought redwood was a little… it was a generous word. If somebody wrote a song about me, it would be like ‘Japanese maple / sometimes can see,’” Travis added, making everyone in the studio burst out laughing.

Many fans believed that Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl track “Wood” references her fiancé, Travis. But despite its risqué lyrics, the pop star said it actually “started out in a very innocent place.”

“I brought this into the studio, and I was like, ‘I want to do a throwback, kind of timeless-sounding song,’ and I had this idea about, like, ‘I ain’t gotta knock on wood,’ and we would knock on wood, and it would be all these superstitions,” she explained on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

“And it really started out in a very innocent place. [Laughs] You know, it started out… 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, but I love this song so much.”

The track features lyrical references to superstitious activities like knocking on wood, stepping on cracks, and wishing on falling stars. However, after the chorus, things take a slightly kinkier turn.

“Forgive me, it sounds cocky / He ah-matized me and opened my eyes / Redwood tree, it ain’t hard to see / His love was the key that opened my thighs,” the lyrics read.

“New heights of manhood / I ain’t gotta knock on wood,” she continued, referencing Travis’ podcast.

Despite the double entendre, Swift also told Sirius XM’s The Morning Mash Up that listeners would “see in that song” whatever they wanted to see.
