In a candid conversation on SiriusXM's The Morning Mash Up, Taylor Swift shared how her mother, Andrea, reacted to one of the most provocative tracks on her latest album, "The Life of a Showgirl." When asked about track nine, "Wood," which has been widely interpreted as a sultry tribute to her fiancé, NFL tight end Travis Kelce, Swift revealed that her mom thought it was about superstitions.
According to Swift, who spoke with co-host Nicole Ryan on Monday morning (Oct. 6), her mother's reaction was not what she expected. "She thinks it's about superstitions," Swift said with a chuckle.

The song in question features lyrics that have been described as "lusty" and "sweaty," including lines like: "Forgive me, it sounds cocky / He ah-matized me and opened my eyes / Redwood tree, it aint hard to see / His love was the key that opened my thighs." The song's explicit nature has raised eyebrows among some fans, who have taken to social media to share their reactions.
The release of "The Life of a Showgirl" has been met with widespread attention and enthusiasm from music enthusiasts. According to reports, Swift sold 2.7 million copies of the album in its first day of release in the U.S., making it one of the best-selling albums of the year so far.
Industry insiders have praised Swift's latest effort, citing her ability to push boundaries and explore new themes in her music.

"Her willingness to take risks and explore mature themes has helped her maintain a loyal fan base."
As for the cultural impact of "The Life of a Showgirl," experts say it's too early to tell. However, the album's explicit content has sparked conversations about what is considered acceptable in popular music.
With the success of "The Life of a Showgirl" and Swift's continued dominance in the music industry, fans are eagerly anticipating her next move. As for Andrea Swift, it seems she'll have to get used to hearing more about her daughter's provocative lyrics – at least until Taylor finds someone new to write about.
