THE RUNDOWN

• Taylor Swift’s song “Wood” appears to be her most sexual song yet about fiancé Travis Kelce.
• The singer references how Kelce broke her unlucky streak in love.
• In one lyric, she credited his “New Heights of manhood” for helping open her eyes.

Taylor Swift has sung about her fiancé, Travis Kelce, before—but never to the extent that she does on “Wood,” a track from The Life of a Showgirl.

Taking a page from Sabrina Carpenter and her cheeky, sexual lyrics, Swift reflects on how unlucky she was in love until she found Kelce and his “New Heights of manhood.” Kelce co-hosts a podcast called New Heights.

The track is one of Swift’s most explicit, and it very conspicuously references a certain part of Kelce’s anatomy. Her pre-chorus is: “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.”

There are more references that fans can easily find in the lyrics, including “the curse on me was broken by your magic wand.”

Swift played coy when discussing the inspiration of “Wood” during her Official Release Party of a Showgirl film. She said the track “is about superstitions,” like “black cats, stepping on cracks, things like that.” She then gave a telling, cheeky smile and left the explanation there as theatergoers laughed.

While appearing on The Tonight Show on October 7, Swift told Jimmy Fallon that she aimed to write a “timeless-sounding song” with “Wood.” She then alluded to the explicit subject matter.

“It started out in a very innocent place,” Swift said, laughing along with the studio audience. “It started out like…I don’t know what happened, man. I got in there, we started vibing, and I don’t know how we got there. But I love this song so much.”

While Swift hasn’t spoken publicly about her sex life with Kelce, she has been very open about their relationship. During her New Heights interview, she said that Kelce proved he’s “the good kind of crazy” when they first connected after he first spoke about her on the podcast.

“I knew that he wasn’t crazy the first couple of times that we talked,” she said. “I was just like, he’s truly getting to know me in a way that’s very natural, very pure, very normal. Also, just the way that he could make me laugh so immediately about normal things… Travis is like, he’s just a vibe-booster in everyone’s life that he’s in. He’s like a human exclamation point. He’s like when you take a picture on your phone and you push the enhanced color button, that’s like what you do to everyone’s life. I’ve used so many more exclamation points now, but I think it was just like…you’re so non-judgmental about people.”

The full “Wood” lyrics reveal a new side of Kelce and Swift’s dynamic. Read them in full and listen to the song below:

Verse 1
Daisy’s bare naked, I was distraught
He loves me not, he loves me not
Penny’s unlucky, I took him back
And then stepped on a crack
And the black cat laughedPre-Chorus

And baby, I’ll admit I’ve been a little superstitious (Superstitious)
Fingers crossed until you put your hand on mine (Hand on mine)
Seems to be that you and me, we make our own luck
A bad sign is all good
I ain’t got to knock on wood

Chorus
All of that bitching, wishing on a falling star
Never did me any good
I ain’t got to knock on wood
It’s you and me forever dancing in the dark (Ah)
All over me, it’s understood
I ain’t got to knock on woodPost-Chorus

Forgive me, it sounds cocky
He ah-matized me and openеd my eyes
Redwood tree, it ain’t hard to see
His lovе was the key that opened my thighs

Verse 2
Girls, I don’t need to catch the bouquet, mm
To know a hard rock is on the wayPre-Chorus

And baby, I’ll admit I’ve been a little superstitious (Superstitious)
The curse on me was broken by your magic wand (Ah)
Seems to be that you and me, we make our own luck
New Heights (New Heights) of manhood (Manhood)
I ain’t got to knock on wood

Chorus
(Ah) All of that bitching, wishing on a falling star
Never did me any good
I ain’t got to knock on wood
(Ah) It’s you and me forever dancing in the dark (Ah)
All over me, it’s understood
I ain’t got to knock on woodPost-Chorus

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
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
