NEED TO KNOW
Travis Kelce couldn’t wait for his friends and family to hear his fiancé Taylor Swift’s new album — with one exception.
The NFL star, 36, admitted he’s “terrified” for his father Ed Kelce to hear the ninth song on The Life of a Showgirl, an ode to the tight end’s manhood called “Wood” that may be Swift’s raunchiest track yet.
Travis and his brother Jason, 37, discussed the album on the Wednesday, Oct. 8 episode of their podcast New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce. When Jason asked if the Chiefs star had spoken to their father about the album yet, Travis said, “No.”
“I haven’t talked to him about the album either,” Jason replied, suggesting, “Maybe that’s who we should get a live listen to.”
Travis admitted, “Dude, I’m terrified.”

Jason continued laughing at the idea of their father listening to the song where Swift sings about Travis’ love being “the key that opened my thighs,” before Travis again said he’s “terrified” for the inevitable moment his dad hears the song.
Jason joked that he’s going to record Ed’s reaction to the song “regardless” of if they decide to show it on the podcast. “Oh my god, I would love that. I’m gonna do it,” Jason teased.
The brothers shared a laugh and lovingly referred to their dad as “Big Ed” in the clip.
Jason couldn’t help himself when talking about “Wood” on the episode, teasing his brother about the spicy lyrics. “Do you feel, do you feel — not confident — do you feel cocky about the song ‘Wood’?,” Jason asked. “No,” Travis responded, adding, “Any song that she references me in is very…”
“That’s not just any song. This is a very specific you,” Jason cut in.
Swift sings, “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,” on the track. In the second verse, she relates Kelce’s manhood to a “hard rock” as she sings, “Girls, I don’t need to catch the bouquet / To know a hard rock is on the way.”
Swift spoke about her mom Andrea’s reaction to the song in a recent interview with SiriusXM’s The Morning Mash Up. “I think that she thinks that that song is about superstitions, popular superstitions, which, which it absolutely is,” she said.
“That’s the joy of the double entendre. That song, you could read that song for people and it just goes right over their head. That song you, you see in that song what you wanna see in that song.”
