Taylor Swift recently discussed her album and personal life during an appearance on SiriusXM Hits 1. The conversation touched on her song “Wood,” its double meanings, and her relationship with Travis Kelce.
Exploring ‘Wood’ and Its Meanings
Swift revealed that while playing “Wood” for her mother, she likely used the clean version. The song, she noted, revolves around popular superstitions, embodying a double entendre. Swift explained, “You see in that song what you wanna see in that song.”
The lyrics are striking and not overly ambiguous. Notable lines include, “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.” Despite the direct imagery, Swift speculates that her mother may prefer to overlook certain interpretations.
Creative Choices in Songwriting
Additionally, Swift discussed her creative process, particularly her use of profanity in songwriting. She emphasized that sometimes, profanity enhances the intensity or sound of a song. “There are a lot of different reasons you choose to throw in a swear word,” she reflected.
Romance with Travis Kelce
Swift also opened up about her connection with NFL star Travis Kelce. She described him as a unique person, stating, “He’s one of those people where as soon as you meet him, you kind of know he’s the best.” This remark highlights the special bond she feels with him.
Reflecting on Serendipity
Swift recalled a Fourth of July post from 2023, where she shared a photo carousel captioned: “Happy belated Independence Day from your local neighborhood, independent girlies. See you tonight. Kansas City.” She noted the coincidence of meeting Kelce shortly after this post, calling it “deranged.”
“If we break it down, I’m in this picture with a bunch of girls. A few of them found their person right after that. The fact that it was right before my Kansas City show… It’s unreal,” she added.
Celebrating Friends’ Happiness
Apart from her musical journey, Swift expressed excitement for her friend Selena Gomez, who recently married Benny Blanco. She gushed, “I’m so happy for my friends when they find happiness.” She described Gomez as the most beautiful bride she had ever seen, capturing her joy in this significant moment.
