"First off, I want to note that I'm thrilled - not necessarily on a personal level but certainly on Taylor Swift's behalf - that she is finally getting properly railed. As someone who has met her one time for 12 seconds and enjoyed her music for exponentially longer than that, I feel the appropriate amount of invested in her happiness, sexual or otherwise."
"But by simply and innocently pressing play on "Wood," I was forced to choke down a lumber truck's worth of information about Travis Kelce's dick. Here's what I now know against my will about it: It is huge. The size of an ancient tree. The fact that Travis Kelce is roaming around the world with a redwood swinging between his legs is both none of my business and harrowing."
Taylor Swift is portrayed as experiencing and embracing sexual fulfillment and singing about it despite a conservative, sex-negative cultural climate. The song "Wood" contains explicit, visceral descriptions of Travis Kelce's genitalia, likening them to an ancient tree and framing them as both invasive and sensational. Background details about Kelce include his podcast New Heights, a frugal living anecdote, a fine for yelling, and no official CTE diagnosis. Reactions mix approval for Swift's agency with discomfort at intrusive, graphic disclosures and reluctant curiosity about intimate celebrity details.
