Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was grilled by his brother over Taylor Swift’s risqué new song referencing his ‘manhood’ from her latest album, The Life of a Showgirl.
Travis Kelce reportedly reacted nervously to fiancée Taylor Swift’s “generous” nod to his manhood in her new album, The Life of a Showgirl. The 35-year-old pop superstar makes several risqué references to her Kansas City Chiefs partner’s “magic wand” and “wood” throughout the record.
In the track Wood, the album’s most explicit song, Swift sings lines alluding to their intimate relationship, including: “Forgive me, it sounds cocky / He [d**k-matized] me and opened my eyes / Redwood tree, it ain’t hard to see / His love was the key that opened my thighs,” alongside other sexually charged lyrics.
Travis was even put on the spot by his brother, Jason Kelce, who quizzed him about the steamy references to “his love” during an episode of the New Heights podcast.
During the podcast, Jason Kelce asked his brother about the steamy track. “How do you feel about Wood?” he quipped, prompting Travis to laugh and reply, “It’s a great song.”
Jason pressed further: “Do you feel… not confident… do you feel cocky about the song Wood?”
Travis quickly said no, adding, “Any song, you know, that she references me in is very” before his brother interrupted, pointing out that the track is explicitly about Travis’ manhood.
The Kansas City Chiefs star dodged the question, insisting, “I love that girl, what do you mean? Any song that she would reference me in any way…”
Jason Kelce pressed his brother for a reaction. “It’s not just you. It’s an appendage. It’s a very specific thing,” he teased. Travis feigned confusion, responding, “What? I think you’re not understanding the song.”
Jason then recited some of Taylor Swift’s lyrics: “Travis, come on. ‘Redwood tree, ain’t hard to see…’ I thought redwood that’s a generous word, I think. If somebody wrote a song about me, it’d be more like, ‘Japanese maple sometimes can see.’”
Eventually, Jason gave up trying to get a blush out of his brother, conceding: “That song’s great, though. The beat is fantastic, right up my alley. I think it’s a great song. And inserting wood innuendos is always childish enough for me that I can get on board with that.”
Meanwhile, Taylor clarified during her appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon that Wood originally began as an innocent song inspired by “superstitions.”
