Dave Portnoy Slams Taylor Swift: 'A Song About Travis Kelce’s Manhood?'

Barstool boss Dave Portnoy

TAYLOR SWIFT TURNS UP THE HEAT WITH HER "RAUNCHIEST SONG YET" - BUT DAVE PORTNOY IS NOT IMPRESSED!

The highly-anticipated album "The Life of a Showgirl" has finally dropped, and Taylor Swift's die-hard fans are going wild over the sultry sounds. But not everyone is sold on the superstar's latest offering - especially not Dave Portnoy, the infamous boss of Barstool Sports.

In an X video that left fans gobsmacked, Portnoy revealed his shock at the explicit lyrics of one track in particular. "I've probably listened to it three or four times," he confessed, before dishing out his top five songs from the album. But what really got our attention was when he ripped into the song that's been making waves - and not for its catchy beat.

The superstar, 35, dropped her already critically acclaimed pop album on October 3, and the record includes an overtly sexual song dedicated to Travis

The offending track, titled "Wood", is a sensual serenade to Swift's fiancé Travis Kelce, with lyrics that leave little to the imagination. We're talking about the kind of language that makes you blush, folks! According to reports, the song features references to Kelce's, ahem, "magic wand" and how he's the key to unlocking Swift's thighs.

Portnoy wasn't alone in his shock - plenty of fellow Swifties are taken aback by the lyrics. At one point, Swift even references her and Kelce's bodies together, singing: "Forgive me, it sounds cocky / He ah-matized me / And opened my eyes."

But what really got Portnoy going was when he started to dissect the song's meaning on social media. "What is this song about?" he asked his followers. "It's about Travis' d. And then you re-listen and there's 'Redwood tree' and 'hard rock'. No, I'm not bopping and weaving to a song about Travis' d."

'New Heights of manhood / I ain't gotta knock on wood,' she sings in one of the many songs dedicated to her fiancé in her new album

And let's be real - we can't blame him for being taken aback. After all, this is Taylor Swift we're talking about - the singer-songwriter known for her catchy hooks and sentimental lyrics. But with "Wood", she's gone full-on explicit, leaving fans wondering if they'll ever hear the same level of intimacy on one of her future albums.

But don't just take our word for it! Here are some of the most shocking lines from the song:

  • "Redwood tree / It ain't hard to see / His love was the key / That opened my thighs."
  • "Girls, I don't need to catch the bouquet, mm / To know a hard rock is on the way."
  • "New Heights of manhood / I ain't gotta knock on wood," she sings, before adding that "His love was the key / That opened my thighs."

Portnoy gave his definitive list from the new album - but took time to speak on 'Wood'

We have to admit - it's a bit much for our taste. But hey, if this is what fans are craving, then who are we to judge?

In related news, Portnoy has been at odds with the Kelce brothers in the past - remember when he claimed they were only getting endorsement deals because of their connection to Taylor Swift? Yeah, that's still a thing.

According to reports, the partnership between the Kelces and Garage Beer is worth an astonishing $200million. And let's be real - it's not hard to see why: with Taylor Swift as one of their biggest fans, they're basically set for life.

But what do you think, folks? Are these lyrics too much even for a die-hard Swiftie like Portnoy? Sound off in the comments below!
