what is wood about taylor swift

Taylor Swift's song "Wood," from her 2025 album The Life of a Showgirl , is about her romance and intimate relationship with her fiancé, NFL player Travis Kelce. The song uses clever double entendres and metaphors linked to superstitions like knocking on wood, stepping on cracks, and black cats, turning them into a celebration of love, desire, and sexual intimacy. Lyrics reference Kelce's manhood and their physical connection, with lines such as "His love was the key that opened my thighs" and nods to Kelce’s podcast "New Heights," making it one of Swift's most explicit and raunchy love songs to date. It reflects how Kelce's love has lifted past bad luck in relationships and opened new emotional and physical depths for her.
