Kylie Kelce is keeping her sense of humor intact even when her sister-in-law’s lyrics get a little too descriptive.
During Thursday’s episode of her “Not Gonna Lie” podcast, the 33-year-old wife of former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce couldn’t help but address Taylor Swift’s latest viral track, “Wood,” from the pop superstar’s new album, The Life of a Showgirl.
The song, which fans believe is inspired by Kylie’s brother-in-law, Travis Kelce, has raised eyebrows for its bold and cheeky lyrics and Kylie admits she was just as stunned as everyone else.
“I probably didn’t need to know that much detail about my brother-in-law,” Kylie quipped, laughing during the podcast.
Still, the mother of three made it clear she wasn’t judging in fact, she was cheering both Swift and Travis on.
“Good job, Trav!” she exclaimed, clapping her hands. “That’s it! A thousand percent, yes.”
“That’s women supporting women,” she added with a grin, defending her spirited reaction.
Kylie’s comments came one day after Jason, 37, playfully teased his younger brother about the explicit nature of Swift’s song on the brothers’ “New Heights” podcast.
“You should feel cocky about it,” Jason told Travis, 36, referring to the lyrics describing a “redwood tree” that “ain’t hard to see” and “hard rock.”
When Travis pretended to act surprised by the suggestive metaphors, Jason didn’t let him off the hook.
“I think you’re not understanding the song,” Jason teased. “She’s literally singing about your… appendage.”
Travis laughed off the moment, insisting, “No way! That’s not what she meant!”
Jason then joked that if he ever had a song written about him, it would probably be a little less flattering:
“If somebody wrote a song about me, it would be like, ‘Japanese maple / sometimes can see,’” he deadpanned, sending both brothers into fits of laughter.
While Swift’s fans have spent days dissecting the double entendres in “Wood,” the singer herself has offered a more innocent explanation — sort of.
Appearing on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” earlier this week, Swift said the song “started from a pure place.”
“It began as a throwback, timeless-sounding song about all these superstitions,” she explained. “I don’t know what happened, man. … I don’t know how we got here, but I love the song so much.”
Even Swift’s mother, Andrea Swift, seems blissfully unaware of the song’s naughtier undertones.
“My mom thinks the song is about superstitions,” Taylor told SiriusXM’s “Morning Mash Up.” “That’s the joy of the double entendre. You can play it for people and it just goes right over their heads.”
“Wood” is just one of several songs from The Life of a Showgirl rumored to be inspired by Swift’s romance with Travis Kelce. Other tracks, including “Wi$h Li$t” and “Opalite,” also reference love, devotion, and the glamorous chaos of their relationship themes fans have quickly connected to the couple’s whirlwind romance.
Swift’s twelfth studio album marks yet another chapter in her relationship with the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, blending playful sensuality with her signature storytelling.
As for Kylie and Jason, they’re clearly taking it all in stride with humor, support, and a few laughs at Travis’ expense.
“Good job, Trav,” Kylie repeated, chuckling as she wrapped up her segment. “I mean… good for both of them, honestly.”
