Travis Kelce opens up about impact of Wood
Wood is the ninth track from Swift’s 12th and latest studio album. The two-minute and thirty-second-long track is a tribute to Swift’s relationship with Travis Kelce.

In the latest episode of the New Heights Podcast, Travis’ elder brother, Jason Kelce, read out Snyder’s X post. “Wood stats from Chase Snyder on Twitter,” he began. “Travis Kelce, before the release of Wood: Four games, 15 catches, 188 yards, and a touchdown. Travis Kelce, after release of Wood: two games, 139 yards and one touchdown.”
Jason, who earlier played for the Philadelphia Eagles, found the post “funny.” To which, Travis Kelce said, “That's hilarious.”
