Travis Kelce opens up about impact of Wood
Wood is the ninth track from Swift’s 12th and latest studio album. The two-minute and thirty-second-long track is a tribute to Swift’s relationship with Travis Kelce. A user by the name Chase Snyder recently claimed on X that Kelce’s field performance significantly improved following the release of Wood.
In the latest episode of the New Heights Podcast, Travis’ elder brother, Jason Kelce, read out Snyder’s X post. “Wood stats from Chase Snyder on Twitter,” he began. “Travis Kelce, before the release of Wood: Four games, 15 catches, 188 yards, and a touchdown. Travis Kelce, after release of Wood: two games, 139 yards and one touchdown.”
Jason, who earlier played for the Philadelphia Eagles, found the post “funny.” To which, Travis Kelce said, “That's hilarious.”
Wood, which was released on October 3, contains explicit lyrics and makes references to a “magic wand” and “Redwood tree.” In the song, Taylor Swift also speaks about love “that opened my thighs.”
