Travis Kelce Roasted by Brother Jason on Taylor Swift's 'Wood'!

Travis Kelce laughed off Jason's questions about Taylor Swift's new song about him, 'Wood'

Scandal Rocks Music World: Taylor Swift's Sizzling Song About Travis Kelce Sparks Shocking Backlash

In a jaw-dropping episode of their popular podcast, New Heights, NFL star Travis Kelce found himself squirming in his seat as his brother Jason grilled him about his fiancée Taylor Swift's latest song, "Wood." The track, part of her new album Life of a Showgirl, has left fans and critics alike gagging over its explicit lyrics.

The song, which has been making waves since its release last Friday, is a far cry from the wholesome country vibes that Taylor Swift is known for. Instead, it's a sultry, R&B-infused anthem that leaves little to the imagination. The lyrics are dripping with double entendres, with Taylor name-dropping Travis's...ahem...manhood and even comparing him to a "redwood tree."

It has been the most controversial track following Swift's release of 'Life of a Showgirl'

The drama reached new heights (pun intended) when Jason, trying to keep things light-hearted, asked Travis about the song, teasingly referring to it as "Cocky Wood." But Travis was having none of it, laughing off his brother's comments and insisting that he loves Taylor for referencing him in her music.

However, not everyone is buying into the sweet love story. Acclaimed music critic Amanda Petrusich blasted Taylor Swift for being "unconvincing" when singing about sex, calling the song "cringeworthy." Even die-hard Swiftie Dave Portnoy, founder of Barstool Sports, publicly criticized her, saying that the song is all about Travis's, ahem...private parts.

"I really did like the song Wood at first," he said, "but then I re-listened and I'm like, 'Wait a minute, this is about Travis Kelce's d*'! And now it's just cringeworthy."

But not all the reaction to Swift's song has been positive in the days since the album dropped

When asked about the song's inspiration, Taylor Swift seemed evasive on The Jimmy Fallon Show, saying that she started out with an innocent concept but somehow ended up in "a very different place." Ouch.

It seems that Taylor's attempt to break her unlucky streak in love has backfired spectacularly. While some fans are eating up the lyrics like a juicy steak, others are appalled by the explicit nature of the song.

The backlash against Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce is already gaining momentum on social media, with many calling out the singer for pushing the boundaries too far. Will this controversy spell disaster for her reputation as a wholesome country sweetheart? Only time will tell.

But Jason didn't miss an opportunity to grill Travis about it on this week's New Heights show

As for Travis Kelce, he's sticking to his guns, saying that any song that references him is "a win-win" for him and Taylor. But we can't help but wonder – has their love story become the very thing that's left them feeling... well, a little exposed?
