Kylie Kelce has the best reaction to Taylor Swift’s raunchy ‘Wood’ song about brother-in-law Travis

“Is it over now?”

That was the playful tone when Kylie Kelce addressed Taylor Swift’s steamy new track “Wood,” acknowledging that while she might not need every intimate detail about her brother-in-law Travis Kelce, she was still cheering him on.

On the October 9 episode of her podcast Not Gonna Lie, Kylie, 33, named “Wood” among her favorites on Swift’s album The Life of a Showgirl. She quipped,

“Do I need that much detail about, specifically about my brother-in-law? Probably not. But also — good job, Trav! That’s it! Guys, yes, 1000 percent, yes. That’s women supporting women.”

So yes — though she teased restraint, Kylie did clap. She followed that with a more direct “Good job, Trav!” and made clear her enthusiasm for Swift’s bold creative choices. (People) People.com


Travis & Jason's Reaction

On the New Heights podcast, Travis Kelce and brother Jason dissected the song together. Travis maintained a cool façade, calling “Wood” “a great song.” (EW) EW.com Jason pressed him about the suggestiveness — especially the references to a “redwood tree” and other metaphors tied to masculinity — but Travis played coy, deflecting with humor.

Jason kept the teasing going:

“Do you feel … cocky about the song ‘Wood’?”
Travis responded: “No. Any song that she references me in is very …”
Jason interjected: “That’s not just any song. This is a very specific you.”
Travis laughed it off. (EW) EW.com

Travis later admitted he was “terrified” at the thought of their dad, Ed Kelce, hearing the track — noting the boldness of its lyrics. (People) People.com


Taylor’s Take: From Innocent Roots to Bold Declaration

Swift addressed “Wood” on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, admitting the track started with a relatively innocent concept but evolved in the process. She told Fallon:

“It really started out in a very innocent place … I don’t know how we got here, man. … I love this song so much.”

Swift also explained that the track plays with double meanings — while on one level it's about superstition (“knocking on wood”), it includes sexual metaphors that are undeniable in their implications. Her mother, Andrea Swift, reportedly interprets the song as being about superstition, which Swift noted is part of the song’s layered design. (People) People.com


So, is it over now?

In short: no — if by “over” you mean that Kylie Kelce’s vocal support signals the end of any awkwardness. She may have joked about not needing too much detail, but she publicly backed Travis. (People) People.com

Travis, for his part, stayed friendly but noncommittal. He praised the song while side-stepping deeper commentary. Jason, meanwhile, capitalized on the moment with humor and scrutiny. (EW) EW.com

Swift’s own explanation suggests “Wood” is meant to flirt with ambiguity: part superstition, part passionate homage. (People) People.com

All told, the moment feels less like a dramatic rupture and more like a playful intersection between pop fame, public romance, and family dynamics. Kylie’s response, Travis’s guarded responses, and Taylor’s layered artistry all lean toward this being very much alive — not over.
