Travis Kelce Says ‘Taylor Swift’s Gonna Kill Me’ Over ‘Wood’ Lyrics
Travis Kelce just got one important pop culture fails – and even He know, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end and New heights The podcast’s co-host admitted on the Jan. 21 episode that he completely missed a raunchy Taylor Swift lyric reference that dozens of fans immediately noticed.
Travis’ brother Jason Kelce read from listener email about the latest merchandise release and shared a fan’s comment: “I can’t believe none of the hoodies are called ‘New Heights of Man-Hoodie’.”
Both brothers were left stunned – with Jason joking: “I don’t know what that means but she’s disappointed. What is a ‘man hoodie’? Is that a thing?” before their producer stepped in to explain the joke, pointing to the Taylor Swift song Wood from her album The life of a showgirl.
Producer Brandon Borders clarified, “It is a The life of a showgirl reference, come on. ‘New Heights of manhood’, it’s the time we were referenced in the album.”
Then Travis laughingly admitted his ignorance: “I didn’t understand that. Taylor is going to kill me because I didn’t know that!’
Jason then joked that neither he nor his brother are as sharp with Easter eggs as Swift’s fans, adding, “We’re not as good with Easter eggs as these Swifties.”
Travis interjected, “They sure know how to plant them and call them out.”
The lyrics in question – which fans immediately linked to New Heights – appears in Swift’s Wood: “New heights of masculinity / I don’t have to knock on wood.”
And if that wasn’t suggestive enough, the song also includes lines like, “His love was the key that opened my thighs,” which only fueled fan chatter about how explicit Swift’s ode to her fiancé really is.
This isn’t the first time the Kelce brothers have talked about it Wood on their show — but it’s the first time Travis has openly admitted that he totally missed a Swift lyrical Easter egg.
On another episode of the brothers’ podcast, Jason asked Travis, “Do you feel, do you feel – not confident – do you feel cocky about the song?” Wood?”
“No,” Travis said. “Every song where she references me is very…”
‘That’s not just a song. This is a very specific you,” Jason interjected.
Travis replied, “I love that girl, so what do you mean?” Every song she would refer to me in that way.”
Jason interrupted his younger brother again and said, “It’s not just you. It’s an appendage. It’s something very specific.’
“What?” Travis laughed at his brother. “I don’t think you understand the song.”
