Travis Kelce’s sister-in-law, Kylie, has praised Taylor Swift for Wood, a song on The Life of a Showgirl that likens the NFL star’s anatomy to a “Redwood tree”
Travis Kelce’s sister-in-law Kylie Kelce has reacted to Taylor Swift’s new song Wood, which is widely believed to be about the NFL star’s “magic wand”.
Kylie, who is married to Travis’ brother Jason Kelce, has said the song is one of her favourite’s, despite the raunchy way it seems to discuss her family member. During a recent episode of her podcast, Not Gonna Lie, she revealed what she thought about Taylor’s new album, The Life of a Showgirl.
“My favourites on the album are definitely Wi$h Li$t, Opalite and, who are we kidding, Wood,” she said. “Here’s the deal – do I need that much detail about specifically my brother-in-law? Probably not. But also?” She stopped to clap. “Good job, Trav! That’s it. Guys, yes, 1000%, yes. That’s women supporting women. Proud of you.”

Kylie is not the only Kelce to react to Wood. Jason and Travis both discussed it on their podcast New Heights. “Wood?” Jason said. “Great, great soundtrack.”
He then asked his brother what he thought about the song, to which Taylor’s fiance said it was a “good song”. Jason then asked if Travis felt “cocky” about it. Travis brushed the question off and implied he would love “any song” that Taylor referenced him in.
“It’s not just you though, it’s an appendage,” Jason pushed, referencing lyrics that seemed to suggest Travis’ genitalia is large. The lyrics, as read out by Jason on the podcast, are: “Forgive me, it sounds cocky/ He ah-matized me and opened my eyes/ Redwood tree, it ain’t hard to see”. In the song, Taylor also sang about how Travis’ “magic wand” broke a curse.
Taylor has confirmed that the song is supposed to be sexual. She told Jimmy Fallon: “It really started out in a very innocent place. You know, it started out… I don’t know what happened, man.”
The other songs Kylie mentioned on the podcast – Wi$h Li$t and Opalite – are also about Travis. Opalite, which is Travis’ favourite song on the album, is about how he is better than her previous lovers.
She sings that missing her exes is like “eating out of the trash” and that she has “never met no one like you before” seemingly singing about Travis.
And on Wi$h Li$t, which is Taylor’s favourite, she sings about how other people “want it all” – from an Oscar to “Balenci’ shades” – but all she wants is to “have a couple kids, got the whole block looking like you”.
While children are not on the cards yet for Taylor and Travis, they are planning to get married. Their engagement was announced earlier this year, but the actual wedding is not happening for a while yet, as Taylor told Graham Norton that she’d “doing the album thing first”.
