Travis Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs star and co-host of the "New Heights" podcast, made a cheeky reference to Taylor Swift's 2025 song "Wood" in a Valentine's Day card shared on the podcast's Instagram. The card featured an image of a Redwood tree and the text "WOOD you be my Valentine?", a nod to Swift's lyrics about Kelce's manhood. Kelce has been dating Swift since 2023, and the couple announced their engagement last August.

Why it matters

The playful Valentine's Day card highlights the lighthearted relationship between Kelce and Swift, who have been open about their romance since going public in 2023. The reference to Swift's raunchy song lyrics also demonstrates the couple's comfort with each other's celebrity personas and the public's interest in their relationship.

The details

In the 2025 song "Wood," Swift sings about Kelce's manhood, including lyrics like "Forgive me, it sounds cocky / He (ah!)matized [d--kmatized] me / And opened my eyes" and "New Heights (New Heights) of manhood (Manhood) / I ain't gotta knock on wood." The Valentine's Day card shared by Kelce's podcast was a direct reference to these lyrics.
