Kylie Kelce is not one to shy away from a cheeky comeback, especially when it involves her husband, Philadelphia Eagles legend Jason Kelce. Following the buzz around Taylor Swift’s suggestive track "Wood" from her latest album The Life of a Showgirl, fans couldn't help but speculate about its connection to Kansas City Chiefs star, Travis Kelce. The lyrics had the internet abuzz with innuendos about Travis’s manhood, leading to lighthearted jabs from the entire Kelce clan.
On October 17, Kylie joined the playful narrative by updating her Instagram bio with “Big fan of Japanese Maples.” While it seemed like a casual nature reference, the line cleverly nodded to Jason Kelce’s hilarious quip about his anatomy, shared during a New Heights podcast episode. This move underlined Kylie’s wit and her willingness to engage in the ongoing family banter.
Jason Kelce, who recently retired after an illustrious stint with the Philadelphia Eagles, didn't hold back when addressing the song's implications on the New Heights podcast. "I thought redwood was a little bit, that’s a generous word, I think," he joked, comparing himself to a more modest "Japanese Maple" in a self-deprecating nod. His humor paved the way for Kylie’s Instagram update, further entwining the Kelce-Swift dynamic.
“That man is a father to my children and also, agreed. If I were not trying to be an adult, I would also be commenting those things on my husband’s thirst traps, ‘cause same. But that’s mine. That’s mine.”
During her Not Gonna Lie podcast, Kylie elaborated on the attention Jason’s looks had garnered, playfully staking her claim while embracing the light-hearted public interest.
The playful exchange extended to Travis Kelce, who took the teasing in stride. Joining his brother Jason on the October 8 episode of New Heights, the Chiefs tight end discussed the lyrical intrigue, maintaining a diplomatic front by simply calling it "a great song." His nonchalant response kept fans guessing about the song’s true inspiration.
Taylor Swift hasn’t clarified the song’s intent, adding to the mystery and fun. Speaking in a SiriusXM interview, she noted, "That’s the joy of the double entendre," leaving fans to interpret her lyrics as they wish. Kylie, reveling in the playful spirit, even cited "Wood" among her favorite tracks alongside "Opalite" and "Wi$h Li$t," fully embracing the family’s deep Swift connection.
