Taylor Swift's 'Wood' Is Her Raunchiest Song Yet: Read the Racy Lyrics About Travis Kelce

In a daring move that has fans buzzing, Taylor Swift unveils one of her raciest tracks yet titled “Wood” as part of her latest album, The Life of a Showgirl.

Released on October 3, the song features a blend of cheeky double entendres, romantic undertones and references to superstition that hint at her whirlwind relationship with NFL star Travis Kelce.

During an Amazon Music explanation video, Swift, 35, described the song as “a love story,” adding, “[It’s] about using, as a plot device, popular superstitions [and] good luck charms, bad luck charms and all these different ways we have decided things are good luck or bad luck — like knocking on wood and seeing a black cat.” The playful approach intertwines folklore with contemporary romance, making it a standout moment on the album.

The inspiration behind “Wood” seems to stem from Swift’s relationship with Kelce, who recently proposed after two years of dating. The track’s clever lyrics undeniably reflect their intimacy. “Forgive me, it sounds cocky / He ah-matized me and opened my еyes,” she sings, directly connecting the superstitious themes to the Kansas City Chiefs tight end and their physical relationship.

As the music unfolds, listeners are treated to a whimsical blend of candid reflections on love and the burdens of past romances. “Girls, I don’t need to catch the bouquet / To know a hard rock is on the way,” Swift declares, showcasing her confidence in moving forward after prior heartbreak. The frankness of her lyrics has sparked conversations across social media, with many fans admiring her ability to balance personal vulnerability with cheeky bravado.

Swift's new album reveals the emotional depth behind her songwriting, particularly in “Wood.”

“And baby, I’ll admit I’ve been a little superstitious / The curse on me was broken by your magic wand,” she croons, which hint at Kelce shifting her perspective on love. The playful metaphor of Kelce as a “magic wand” underscores the transformative nature of their relationship, attracting attention even from celebrities like Dave Portnoy. Portnoy, enthusiastic about Swift's work, noted his surprise when interpreting the song’s lyrics, humorously observing, “I really digested the lyrics. It transcends typical pop fare!”

Fans have had a field day dissecting the track, particularly the nods to Kelce’s podcast, “New Heights.” Swift casually drops a reference to the show, a space where the couple's relationship blossomed publicly. Their playful banter on the podcast has only added to the intrigue surrounding their relationship, with Swift’s appearance signaling a new chapter in her already storied romantic life.

Adding another layer of whimsy, Swift reveals a tongue-in-cheek reference with “Redwood tree,” suggesting yet another playful nod to Kelce.

A mere two weeks post-proposal, Swift shared the news on Instagram, captioning a photo with a tree, humorously resonating the intimacy they share both on and off the screen.

As Swift continues to navigate her life since she met Kelce, it’s clear that her engagement has inspired her work in profound ways. This sentiment was echoed during her recent appearance on The Graham Norton Show, where she praised Kelce’s elaborate proposal. “He really crushed it in surprising me,” Swift exclaimed. “He went all out — 10 out of 10.”
