Taylor Swift's 'Wood' is her horniest song yet - here's what the lyrics mean
"If you ever find yourself in a penis metaphor contest and your opponent is Taylor Swift, know this: you will lose. On her 12th studio album The Life of a Showgirl, released today (3 October), Swift is doing what she does best: lashing her rivals, reminiscing about childhood crushes, and declaring her erupting love for her famous fiancé, NFL player Travis Kelce. On one particular track though, track nine entitled "Wood", Swift is letting her Swifties in on a very intimate facet of her relationship with Kelce: that fact that he's packing more meat than a Richmond sausage factory."
""Wood", dubbed by some as her "raunchiest" track to date, sees the singer-songwriter reflect on her lovers past through a superstition motif: she took an ex back, and stepped on a crack. As she did so, the black cat laughed. She's been keeping her fingers crossed waiting for a man worthy of her time, and so on. The light that Travis Kelce has brought to her life now means that luck doesn't really come into play anymore. Everything's rosy. That's thanks specifically to Kelce's, um, "magic wand", which broke the lovelorn "curse" she was put under. As she explains in the lyrics, she ain't gotta knock on wood. Instead, she can admire it."
""Forgive me, it sounds cocky," she teases. "He ah-matized me and opened my еyes. Redwood tree, it ain't hard to see: His love was thе key that opened my thighs.""
Taylor Swift released her 12th studio album The Life of a Showgirl on 3 October, featuring a provocative track titled "Wood" that celebrates her relationship with NFL player Travis Kelce. The song uses superstition motifs and sexual metaphors to contrast past unlucky romances with current contentment. Lyrics credit Kelce's "magic wand" with breaking a lovelorn "curse" and transform knocking on wood into admiring "wood." The post-chorus coins the term "ah-matized" to describe romantic hypnotism by a partner's penis, linking the phrase to early-2020s social-media slang such as "dickmatized." The track stands out as one of Swift's most explicitly sexual pop statements.
