"Shall I compare thee to a redwood tree? Thou art more sappy and more decadent. Rough winds do shake OK, enough of that. I apologise for the cod Shakespeare but I just couldn't help myself. Taylor Swift mania is at fever pitch and I have found myself swept up in the chatter about the lyrics from her new album, The Life of a Showgirl."
"Forgive me, it sounds cocky, the modern-day Shagspeare writes. Redwood tree, it ain't hard to see / His love was the key that opened my thighs. Swift then references Kelce's podcast, which is called New Heights, singing: New Heights of manhood, I ain't gotta knock on wood. In case you weren't quite catching her drift, there's also a reference to a hard rock."
A cod Shakespeare pastiche opens, followed by mention of Taylor Swift mania and close attention to lyrics from The Life of a Showgirl. The album mixes Shakespeare references with sexually suggestive lines that appear to allude to fiancé Travis Kelce’s anatomy and his podcast New Heights. The song 'Wood' includes a redwood tree metaphor, the line about a key opening thighs, and a 'manhood' reference tied to knock-on-wood imagery and a hard rock. The tone finds such explicitness jarring given Swift's squeaky-clean image and frames several lines as cringe. A ranking of embarrassing lyrics begins, starting with songs containing factual errors.
