Travis Kelce reacts to Taylor Swift's song “Wood"

The Super Bowl champion was caught off guard during the New Heights podcast on October 8, when his brother and co-host, Jason Kelce, decided to bring up the track from Swift’s latest album, The Life of a Showgirl.

“How do you feel about ‘Wood’?” Jason asked, smirking. Travis immediately burst out laughing, leaning back in his chair before covering his face. When he finally managed to get a word out, he grinned and said, “It’s a great song.”

Jason did not let him off that easily. “You feeling cocky about it?” he teased. Kelce shook his head, chuckling. “No, man,” he said. “Any song that she’d reference me in… I mean, come on.” Before he could finish, Jason jumped in again. “That’s not just any song,” he shot back, laughing. “It’s a very specific you.”

Playing dumb, Travis shrugged. “I love that girl, so what do you mean? Any song she writes,” Jason cut him off again. “It’s not just you, Trav. It’s an appendage.” “What?” Travis said, acting confused. “I think you’re misunderstanding the song.”

Jason quoted one of Swift’s cheekier lyrics. “Redwood tree ain’t hard to see,” joking that if someone wrote about him, the comparison would be “more like a Japanese maple.” Both brothers cracked up, with Jason adding that the song itself “has a fantastic beat” and “the kind of childish humor I can get behind.”
