The song "Wood" by Taylor Swift from her album "The Life of a Showgirl" is a deeply emotional love song about her relationship with her fiancé, NFL player Travis Kelce. It uses superstitions like knocking on wood and encountering black cats as metaphors to frame the narrative of her love life, emphasizing how meeting Kelce lifted her curse of unlucky relationships. The song cleverly employs double entendres and bold metaphors, particularly about their intimate life, with references to Kelce's podcast "New Heights" and his "hard rock," likely her engagement ring. The lyrics mix playful superstition with a celebration of lasting love and sexual awakening, making it perhaps her raunchiest and most openly sexual song to date. The "Redwood tree" metaphor in the song symbolizes strength, permanence, and longevity, reflecting the permanence she finds in this love.
Overall, "Wood" is about Taylor Swift's romantic and sensual connection with Travis Kelce, framed through the lens of superstitions that she no longer needs to follow because her love has changed her fortune and brought her lasting happiness.
