Travis Kelce is being asked the question everyone wants to know: How does he feel about fiancée Taylor Swift singing about his “manhood?”
Travis, 35, and his brother, Jason Kelce, released a clip of their upcoming “New Heights” podcast on Tuesday, October 7, which featured the Kansas City Chiefs tight end gushing over Swift, 35, after the release of her 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl.
“Lets just give it up for Taylor real quick,” Travis said as he and Jason clapped. “She’s done it again. She’s put the world on tilt. It’s been so fun to see everybody’s reactions and we’ve had an absolute blast watching her go through all of her press tours or radios and all these talk shows.”
He added, “She’s looked amazing, sounded amazing and this album is amazing. And if you haven’t heard it yet, please go check out The Life of a Showgirl.”
Jason, 37, then quickly jumped in to ask Travis about track No. 10 on the album, titled “Wood,” which is filled with innuendos about the NFL star’s “magic wand.” Travis immediately broke out into laughter and the video cut off right before he gave his response.
“Jason is so good at asking Travis the questions everyone wood want to know,” the official “New Heights” Instagram captioned the clip. “NEW EPISODE OUT TOMORROW.”
The Life of a Showgirl, which hit shelves on Friday, October 3, is filled with songs like “Opalite,” “The Fate of Ophelia” and “Honey,” all of which detail Swift and Kelce’s romance. “Wood,” however, pivots from the romantic to the sensual as the pop star gets suggestive about the pair’s sex life.
“Forgive me, it sounds cocky / He ah-matized me and opened my eyes,” Swift sings in the chorus. “Redwood tree, it ain’t hard to see / His love was the key that opened my thighs.”
In Swift’s film The Official Release Party of a Showgirl — which ran in theaters for three days from October 3 through October 5 — the musician broke down her inspiration behind the song, playing coy about the innuendos and instead claiming the track was about “superstitions” and “stuff like that.”
Swift got a little more candid, however, during her Monday, October 6, appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, claiming the song actually started off extremely “innocent” in nature.
“I brought this into the studio and I was like, ‘I wanna do sort of like a throwback kind of timeless-sounding song,’” Swift explained as she broke down the album with fans. “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.”
Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl features one of her raciest songs to date with a track titled “Wood.” “It’s a love story,” Swift, 35, said in an Amazon Music explanation video shared on Friday, October 3. “[It’s] about using, as a plot device, popular superstitions [and] good luck charms, bad luck charms and […]
She added with a laugh, “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 the song so much.”
Although many open-eared listeners quickly picked up on Swift’s double entendres, the singer claimed that her mom, Andrea, didn’t see any double meaning.
“I think that she thinks that that song is about superstitions,” Swift quipped during a Monday appearance on SiriusXM’s The Morning Mash Up. “Which it absolutely is.”
