Taylor Swift's new song Wood fuels speculation about her romance with Travis Kelce

Taylor Swift's new song, "Wood," from "The Life of a Showgirl," is making waves because many fans believe the pop star is hinting at her relationship with NFL star Travis Kelce. The song discusses profound love and resilience, and many believe it reflects Swift's transition from old heartaches to a lasting commitment. According to People, the lyrics show a new side of the singer, where she is open to having a lasting one after many known loves. Swift sang some lines of the song on the entendre-laden jam before referencing Kelce's podcast:

"Girls, I don't need to catch a bouquet, mm / To know a hard rock is on the way / And baby, I'll admit I've been a little superstitious / The curse on me was broken by your magic wand / Seems to me that you and me, we make our own luck... New heights / A man who I ain't gotta / Knock on wood / All of that bitchin', wishin' on a fallin' star / Never did me any good / I ain't got to knock on wood... Forgive me, it sounds cocky / He hypnotized me and opened my eyes / Redwood tree, it ain't hard to see / his love was the key to open my thighs."

Taylor Swift's song Actually Romantic sparks fan theories that it is aimed at Charli XCX

All the talk about pop culture began on Friday, Oct. 3, when Taylor Swift released her latest work, "The Life of a Showgirl," which included the song "Actually Romantic." The rhyming song, with its sharp edges, has become the focus of speculation, and listeners have been breaking down the lyrics to find secret meanings.

At the beginning of the first verse, Swift refers to another artist, who once branded her a "boring Barbie," and then proceeds to imply that this competitor is obsessed with her. Fans on the internet believe the song targets Charli XCX, who recently released a song with Brat, titled "Everything Is Romantic." In the opening verse of the song, Taylor Swift sings (via People):

"High-fived my ex and then said you're glad he ghosted me / Wrote me a song sayin' it makes you sick to see my face / Some people might be offended / But it's actually sweet / All the time you've spent on me / It’s honestly wild / All the effort you've put in / It's actually romantic / I really gotta hand it to you / No man has ever loved me like you do."

The theory has only gained traction due to Charli's ties to Matty Healy, Swift's former flame, and lyrics on her own album that appeared to reference tensions between the two pop stars.
