"Let's start with the song that is all about how well-endowed the Kansas City football player is. "Wood" starts out with a funky riff and a catchy beat, and you can already hear the Sabrina Carpenter influence in the composition. Then you hear the lyrics and you can tell that Swift is trying to emulate the Short n' Sweet singer's trademark graphic, sexual punchlines. Here, let's look at the lyrics of the second verse."
"Forgive me, it sounds cocky He ah-matized me and openеd my eyes Redwood tree, it ain't hard to see His lovе was the key that opened my thighs Girls, I don't need to catch the bouquet, mm To know a hard rock is on the way And baby, I'll admit I've been a little superstitious The curse on me was broken by your magic wand Seems to be that you and me, we make our own luck New Heights of manhood"
The Life of a Showgirl is Taylor Swift's twelfth album and marks a return to radio- and TikTok-ready pop after a more melancholic, folky previous record. The lyrics include transparent references to Swift's personal life, making apparent targets and relationships easy to identify. Several songs generate attention for referencing Travis Kelce's anatomy and for seeming to escalate an apparent feud with Charli XCX. The song "Wood" features a funky riff, catchy beat, and audible Sabrina Carpenter influence while using graphic, sexual punchlines. Fans are actively parsing lore, influences, and provocative wordplay across the album.
