“I’m tired of all this attention” — Donna Kelce reveals Taylor Swift forced her to wear a cap with Taylor’s face on it, says she just wants peace

Taylor Swift promises she didn’t start writing “Wood” as a song filled with dirty jokes.

When the singer-songwriter appeared on The Tonight Show on Monday, October 6 and took Jimmy Fallon through the details of her new songs from The Life of a Showgirl, including the one that compares her new fiancé to a redwood tree.

Swift also broke down “Opalite,” “Wi$h Li$t,” “Father Figure,” and “The Life of a Showgirl.” While talking about the title track, she explained the release’s overarching themes were centered around “show business and a public life.”

“Honestly, we all have a public life now,” she told Fallon. “We all are mandating our relationship with social media and social circles and gossip, so I was like, I want to focus on the playful, fun, funny, humorous sides of that.”

“Wi$h Li$t,” she said, was inspired by Happy Gilmore, while “Father Figure” was meant to invoke the energy of Succession’s Logan Roy. But “Wood” might be the song Swifties are talking about the most.

Taylor Swift says “Wood” lyrics weren’t about Travis Kelce in that way at first
“I brought this into the studio and I was like I wanna do a throwback, kind of timeless-sounding song, and I had this idea like, ‘I ain’t gotta knock on wood,’ and it would be all these superstitions,” Swift told Fallon. “And it really started out in a very innocent place…I don’t know what happened, man.”

Lyrics include lines like, “Forgive me, it sounds cocky, he ah-matized me and opened my eyes, redwood tree, it ain’t hard to see, his love was the key that opened my thighs.” “I got in there, we started vibing, and I don’t know,” she told Fallon. “I don’t know how we got here, but I love the song so much.”
