Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce Predict Jason Kelce’s Favorite Showgirl Song

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are arguably the biggest fans of her new album, The Life of a Showgirl — but their family members are likely a close second.

“What song on the album do you think will be my favorite?” Travis’ brother, Jason Kelce, asked the couple in a new Friday, October 3, clip from their joint “New Heights” podcast appearance that originally aired last month. “You know my favorite from the last album. I love that song so much.”

Jason, 37, who was a big champion of “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” from Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department, turned to Swift and Travis, 35, for a song recommendation that featured a similar vibe.

“I’m going to say ‘The Fate of Ophelia’ or ‘Cancelled!’” Travis said. “I don’t know.”

Swift, meanwhile, concurred with her now-fiancé that “The Fate of Ophelia” would pique Jason’s attention as a listener.

Swift wrote and recorded all 12 songs on The Life of a Showgirl in 2024 in between the European leg of her record-breaking Eras Tour. The album was all about Swift’s life — including her romance with Travis — off the stage. Travis was the muse for songs “The Fate of Ophelia,” “Opalite,” “Elizabeth Taylor,” “Wish List,” “Honey” and “Wood.”

“Wood” is arguably one of Swift’s raciest tracks to date, with several allusions to Travis’ body and their sex life.

“Forgive me, it sounds cocky / He ah-matized me and opened my еyes,” Swift sings in the post-chorus. “Redwood tree, it ain’t hard to see / His love was thе key that opened my thighs.”

She later adds, “And baby, I’ll admit I’ve been a little superstitious / The curse on me was broken by your magic wand. Seems to be that you and me, we make our own luck / New Heights of manhood / I ain’t gotta knock on wood.”

Neither Swift nor Travis predicted that Jason would jam out to “Wood” — even with its reference to their “New Heights” podcast. Swift has also remained coy about the true meaning behind the song.

“It’s a love story,” she quipped in an Amazon Music explanation video. “[It’s] about using, as a plot device, popular superstitions [and] good luck charms, bad luck charms and all these different ways we have decided things are good luck or bad luck — like knocking on wood and seeing a black cat. That is the way I’ve decided to explore this very, very sentimental love song.”

Swift and Travis each have different favorite songs, both of which detail their love story. While the Kansas City Chiefs tight end can’t get enough of “Opalite,” Swift has a soft spot for “Wish List.”

“It was the song where after we finished it, I was like, ‘Oh, we’re done. Like, we’re good. We’re done with this. This is the final piece,’” Swift said on the U.K.’s Heart Radio station on Friday. “It’s a really dreamy song. It’s a really romantic song. It details all these different things that people aspire to have in their lives and all the wishes that people are making all over the world.”

For Swift, she sings that her wish is to have a family with Kelce and a “whole block [of kids] looking like” him. (Jason’s wife, Kylie Kelce, has publicly lamented on numerous occasions how their four daughters are carbon copies of her husband.)

“We tell the world to leave us thе f*** alone, and they do, wow / Got me drеaming ’bout a driveway with a basketball hoop,” Swift sings. “Boss up, settle down, got a wish list.”
