He jockingly gave Kelce the nickname âWood,â which apparently reflects his manhood. âThere was a very controversial song on the album called âWood,â which people thought was about Travis Kelceâs healthy manhood,â Simmons said on The Bill Simmons Podcast. âWe were just calling him Wood the whole game. It was very enjoyable. Itâs like, âMahomes, get it to Wood!â This clearly should be his nickname.â
If you think the mocking is done here, then you are highly mistaken. He stretched the joke and doubled it down by saying, âShe wrote this whole gushing love song about his seâal prowess. He should just be Travis âWoodâ Kelce. I mean, you see why Taylorâs smiling. Woodâs just getting it done.â

The lyrics seemed to make a rather obvious nod to Kelce himself. The pre-chorus leaves little to the imagination: âForgive me, it sounds cây / He ah-matized me / And opened my eyes / Redwood tree / It ainât hard to see / His love was the key / That opened my thâs.â
While Swift hasnât confirmed the song is about Kelce, fans didnât need much help to connect the dots. When she appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon last week, the host, Jimmy Fallon, and she played a segment where she had to discuss the creation and meaning of âWoodâ. The 35-year-old singer couldnât help but blush when the topic came up.
Taylor Swift opens up about the creation of the song, apparently based on Travis Kelce
Taylor Swift had fans cracking up during her appearance on The Tonight Show on October 7, when she opened up about writing her new track, âWoodâ. âI wanted it to sound timeless,â Swift told Jimmy Fallon with a laugh, before hinting at the songâs very not-so-innocent subject. âIt started out in a very innocent place⊠I donât know what happened, man. I got in there, we started vibing, and I donât know how we got there. But I love this song so much.â
She had earlier played modestly at the official release party of the Life of a Showgirl film about the meaning behind âWoodâ. âItâs about superstitionâ, she said. âBlack cats, stepping on cracks, things like that.â She then flashed a cheeky smile and left fans laughing as she moved on. But the âWood consequencesâ are not just restricted to Swift. While Kelce is not teased publicly, his own brother is messing with him at home.
On the New Heights podcast, Jason Kelce couldnât resist teasing his younger brother about the songâs âpersonalâ nature. âDo you feel cocky?â Jason asked jockingly. Travis laughed from the other end and replied, âAny song that she references me in is⊠I love that girl.â Jason didnât stop there and pushed further: âThatâs not just any song, this is a very specific you. Itâs not just you, though; itâs an appendage.â To this, the Chiefsâ tight end had nothing left to say, and he just smirked with a short reply, âI think youâre not understanding the song.â
