The ninth song of her album titled Wood has been in the spotlight for its suggestive lyrics. The Ringer's Bill Simmons talked about the lyrics on his podcast and dropped a new nickname for the Chiefs star.

"I made a lot of jokes during the game about Travis Kelce," Simmons said. "It's a little bit of a deep cut on the Taylor Swift album, but it was a very controversial song and the album called Wood, which people thought was about Travis Kelce's healthy manhood.

"So we were just calling him Wood the whole game, and it was very enjoyable. I was like, 'Mahomes, get it to Wood.' It clearly should be his nickname. She wrote this whole gushing love song about his sexual prowess like he should just be Travis 'Wood' Kelsey."

"I brought this into the studio and I was like, ‘I wanna sort of do a throwback kind of timeless sounding song,’” Swift said. “It really started out in a very innocent place! I don’t know what happened, man, once I got in there, we started vibing, and I don’t know.”

Swift's album made history after selling 3,479,500 copies in the first week of iitsrelease, breaking the record set by Adele in 2015 after her “25" sold 3.378 million copies in its first week.
