Taylor Swift shocked fans this week by finally addressing the rumors surrounding her new song “Wood” and its supposed link to her fiancé, Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce. The pop icon skipped Monday’s Chiefs vs. Jaguars game, reportedly because she’s been fully immersed in promoting her new album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” which dropped on Friday.
As part of her promotional tour, Swift appeared on SiriusXM’s “Morning Mash Up” on Monday, where she discussed the inspiration and deeper meaning behind the track that has everyone talking.
Her most provocative song yet
According to Athlonsports, “Wood” has become one of the most talked-about songs in Taylor’s career due to its sensual and bold lyrics. Fans are convinced the song contains sexual references to Travis Kelce, given their highly publicized relationship.
When asked how her mother, Andrea Swift, reacted to the song—considered her most sexual to date—Taylor responded: “She thinks the song is about superstitions, which is absolutely true.” Swift then added, “That’s the beauty of double meanings. You can play that song for people, and it just flies right over their heads. You see in that song what you want to see.”
While she didn’t confirm the song is about Kelce, she also didn’t deny it, keeping the mystery alive and fueling even more speculation among fans and media.
One of the most talked-about lines from “Wood” reads: “Sequoia tree / It’s easy to see / His love was the key / That opened my thighs.” This daring lyric, filled with innuendo, has fans drawing wild conclusions online about the true nature of the song.
Swift’s subtle yet teasing responses have only intensified the buzz. Whether “Wood” is truly a love letter to Kelce or simply a clever play on words, Taylor Swift has once again mastered the art of keeping the world guessing—and talking about her music.
