Taylor Swift's Fiancé Inspires Explicit Lyrics in New Track

On October 7th, 2025, Taylor Swift took over "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" to discuss the creation and meaning behind several songs on her new album "The Life of a Showgirl." When it came time to talk about the track "Wood," the singer-songwriter blushed as she revealed the explicit nature of the lyrics.

"Wood" is a funk-infused love song about Swift's fiancé, Kansas City Chiefs tight end and podcast host Travis Kelce. However, many fans were shocked to hear just how intimate the lyrics had become, with one line reading: "Redwood tree it ain't hard to see / His love was the key that opened my thighs."

As Swift and Fallon discussed the song, the host tried to contain his amusement. The singer admitted that the track "really started out in a very innocent place," but somehow evolved into something much more explicit. Despite the unexpected direction, Swift expressed her love for the song, saying, "I don't know what happened, man. I got in there, we started vibing and I don't know how we got here, but I love the song so much."

The "clean" version of "Wood" replaces the lyric about "thighs" with "eyes," but the unedited version has already caused a stir among Swift's fanbase. This intimate glimpse into the singer's personal life has left many listeners both shocked and intrigued.
