Travis Kelce Gets Lost In Taylor Swift 'Wood' Reference On Podcast

Travis Kelce's Podcast Faux Pas

Travis Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, found himself in a bit of a humorous mix-up on the recent episode of his New Heights podcast. Alongside his brother, Jason Kelce, Travis was confronted with a fan comment that left him scratching his head. The comment referenced a playful title for their merchandise, suggesting, "I can't believe none of the hoodies are called 'New Heights of Man-Hoodie.'"

Jason read the comment aloud, prompting a confused response from Travis. "I don't know what the f--k that means, but she's disappointed. What's that mean? What's a 'man-hoodie'? Is that a thing?" he questioned, clearly puzzled. It was then that producer Brandon Borders chimed in, enlightening Travis with an explanation. "It's a Life of a Showgirl reference, come on. 'New Heights of manhood,' it's the time you were referenced in the album," Brandon explained.

A Missed Swiftie Easter Egg

Travis's realization that he missed the nod to fiancée Taylor Swift's eyebrow-raising track, "The Life of a Showgirl," brought a playful moment to the podcast. "I didn’t understand that. Taylor’s gonna kill me for not knowing that!" Travis admitted with a laugh. It seems that even those closest to Swift can sometimes miss the cleverly planted Easter eggs in her lyrics.

"We’re not as good with the Easter eggs as these Swifties. They sure know how to plant ‘em and call ‘em out," Jason amusingly noted.

The "Wood" reference sparked attention due to its cheeky and vaguely NSFW lyrics about Travis. As the podcast episode unfolded, it was clear that the playful banter between the Kelce brothers and the show's producers kept the energy light and entertaining.

Swifties and Their Savvy References

For fans of Taylor Swift, these hidden references are nothing new. The pop star is renowned for her intricate storytelling and clever nods within her work, which her devoted fanbase – known as Swifties – are always eager to uncover. As Travis Kelce discovered, keeping up with the Swiftie sleuthing can be a challenge, even when the Easter egg is right under your nose.

Despite the mix-up, Travis's good-natured admission and willingness to laugh at himself only endeared him more to fans. This latest episode of New Heights proved once again that the Kelce brothers know how to entertain their audience, even if it means getting a little lost in translation with pop culture references.
