Jason Kelce Presses Travis About Explicit Lyrics in Taylor Swift‘s ‘Wood’
Kansas City, MO – During the latest episode of their podcast, “New Heights,” jason Kelce playfully grilled his brother, Travis Kelce, about the explicit lyrics in taylor Swift’s recent song, “Wood,” which many fans believe references the Kansas City Chiefs tight end. The conversation, filled with brotherly banter, centered on Swift’s suggestive imagery and lyrical choices.
The exchange began when Jason asked Travis for his thoughts on the track, to which Travis initially responded, “It’s a great song.” Jason then pressed him on whether he felt “cocky” about the song, leading to a back-and-forth where Travis attempted to downplay the song’s direct connection to him. “Any song that she references me in is very…” Travis began, before Jason interjected, “That’s not just any song. This is a very specific you.”
Jason didn’t hold back, pointing out the song’s explicit nature and quoting the lyrics, “Redwood tree ain’t hard to see… I thought redwood, that’s a little bit, that’s a generous word, I think.” He then joked about what a song written about him might entail, suggesting, “I think if somebody wrote a song about me, it’d be like, ‘Japanese maple sometimes can see.'”
Travis continued to playfully deflect, feigning confusion about Jason’s interpretation. Despite his brother’s teasing,Travis maintained his admiration for Swift,stating,”I love that girl,so what do you mean? Any song that she would reference me in that way…”
Ultimately,jason reaffirmed his enjoyment of the song,praising its beat and acknowledging the “wood innuendos,” stating,”That song’s great though… inserting wood innuendos is always childish enough for me that I can get on board with that.”
The podcast episode highlights the public’s captivation with the relationship between Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift, which began gaining widespread attention in late 2023. Swift’s album, The Tortured Poets Department, released April 19, 2024, has been widely dissected by fans for clues about her personal life, with many songs believed to be inspired by her relationship with Kelce.
