Taylor Swift opened up about the origin of her much-discussed track “Wood” during her appearance on “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.” She revealed that the song started as a “very innocent” idea but later took a steamier turn. The track is featured on her new album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” and has sparked speculation that it’s inspired by her fiancé, Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce.
Taylor Swift details what happened with her song ‘Wood’ on Jimmy Fallon show
Swift explained that “Wood” was originally meant to be a whimsical take on the superstition of “knocking on wood” for good luck. “I wanna do a throwback kind of a timeless-sounding song about old superstitions,” she told Fallon. “It really started out in a very innocent place. I don’t know what happened, man. I got in there, we started vibing, and I don’t know how we got there. But I love this song so much.”
The lyrics make several suggestive references, including nods to Kelce‘s “New Heights” podcast with lines like “New heights of manhood.” Other lines, such as “Forgive me, it sounds cocky / He ah-matized me / And opened my eyes / Redwood tree / It ain’t hard to see / His love was the key / That opened my thighs,” have drawn attention for their overt sexual content.
In the following verse, Swift playfully reflects on a wedding tradition that hints at an engagement ring. “Girls, I don’t need to catch the bouquet / To know a hard rock is on the way.”
Fans have also pointed out other cheeky metaphors within the track, including the lyric “the curse on me was broken by your magic wand.” The song has quickly become one of the most talked-about moments from the album.
