Philadelphia Eagles alum Jason Kelce didn’t hold back on Wednesday’s episode of the “New Heights” podcast, urging his brother, Travis Kelce, to weigh in on Taylor Swift‘s track “Wood” from her new album “The Life of a Showgirl.”
“It’s a great song,” the Kansas City Chiefs tight end said simply of his fiancée’s raunchy tune.
But Jason pressed on: “Do you feel — not confident — do you feel cocky about the song ‘Wood’?”
“No,” Travis replied, adding, “Any song that she references me in is very…”
Jason quickly cut him off: “That’s not just any song. This is a very specific you.”
Still playing coy, Travis said, “I love that girl, so what do you mean? Any song that she would reference me in that way…”
Jason interrupted again: “It’s not just you. It’s an appendage. It’s a very specific thing.”

“What?” Travis teased. “I think you’re not understanding the song.”
Swift’s latest album features several tracks inspired by her relationship with Travis, including “Opalite,” “Eldest Daughter” and “Wi$h Li$t.” But the track “Wood” stands out as her raunchiest yet, filled with suggestive double entendres.
“Forgive me, it sounds cocky/He ah-matized me and opened my еyes/ Redwood tree, it ain’t hard to see/ His love was thе key that opened my thighs,” she sings.
In another verse, she sings, “And baby, I’ll admit, I’ve been a little superstitious/ The curse on me was broken by your magic wand/ Seems to be that you and me, we make our own luck/New Heights (New Heights) of manhood(Manhood)/ I ain’t gotta knock on wood.”
“Travis, come on,” Jason said during the podcast. “Redwood tree ain’t hard to see… I thought redwood, that’s a little bit, that’s a generous word, I think. I think if somebody wrote a song about me, it’d be like, ‘Japanese maple sometimes can see.’”
Realizing Travis wasn’t going to say more about “Wood,” Jason said, “That song’s great though. The freaking beat to that song is fantastic and that’s right up my alley, so well done. I think it’s a great song.”
He added, “I think inserting wood innuendos is always childish enough for me that I can get on board with that.”
