6 Oct
Summary
- Swift opens up about playing explicit songs for her mother
- Discusses the "joy of the double entendre" in her lyrics
- Reveals her thought process behind using profanity in songwriting

In a recent interview, pop superstar Taylor Swift candidly discussed her approach to navigating mature content in her music with her mother. According to Swift, her mother believes the song "Wood" is about "popular superstitions," unaware of its more explicit double meaning.
Swift went on to explain her thought process behind incorporating profanity into her lyrics, stating that it can "improve the intensity of the moment" or better capture the "vernacular" of the character she's portraying in a song. The singer-songwriter also revealed her delight in the "joy of the double entendre," where listeners can interpret her lyrics in multiple ways.
Elsewhere in the interview, Swift gushed about her muse, NFL player Travis Kelce, describing him as "one of those people where as soon as you meet him, you kind of know he's the best." The singer also reflected on the coincidence of her Fourth of July post, where she mentioned "Kansas City," shortly before meeting Kelce.
Additionally, Swift expressed her happiness for her friend Selena Gomez, who recently tied the knot with Benny Blanco. The pop star described Gomez as "the most beautiful thing I've ever seen" on her wedding day.
