📰 JUST IN: Taylor Swift and Chiefs Fans Nickname Travis Kelce After the Song “Wood” — and This Is How the NFL Star Reacted

Kansas City, MO — Chiefs Kingdom and Swifties have joined forces once again, and this time it’s all thanks to Taylor Swift’s newly released song, “Wood.”

After the song dropped at midnight, fans immediately began drawing hilarious — and affectionate — comparisons between the track’s lyrics and Taylor’s boyfriend, NFL superstar Travis Kelce. Within hours, social media exploded with the nickname “Mr. Wood” trending across X (formerly Twitter), TikTok, and Instagram.

One fan wrote, “If Taylor’s singing about ‘strong roots, steady hands, and warmth that never fades’ — we all know she means Travis! #MrWood #SwiftKelce.” Another joked, “Travis Kelce really said he’s built like Oak. Taylor wasn’t lying in that song!”

When reporters caught up with Kelce during a lighthearted press session at Arrowhead Stadium, he couldn’t help but laugh when asked about the viral nickname.

“Mr. Wood? That’s wild,” Travis chuckled, shaking his head. “Y’all are creative, man. I’ve heard a few nicknames in my time, but this one’s definitely… original. I’ll take it — as long as Taylor’s cool with it!”

Taylor, on the other hand, subtly acknowledged the moment during her concert in Miami last night. While performing “Wood,” she smiled mid-song and pointed to the camera, mouthing, “You know who you are.” Fans erupted in cheers, convinced she was playfully referencing Kelce.

Since then, Chiefs fans have started bringing wooden signs, oak leaf props, and even small carved “87” figurines to games, proudly embracing the new inside joke.

As one fan tweeted, “From Mr. Right to Mr. Wood — Travis Kelce just keeps setting relationship goals.”

With the Chiefs on a winning streak and Swift’s influence still lighting up pop culture, one thing’s clear — no nickname, no matter how funny, can shake the NFL’s favorite power couple.

💬 Social Media Reactions:

“Taylor calling him ‘Mr. Wood’ in the next era confirmed 😂”

“Chiefs fans stay undefeated when it comes to creativity!”

“We need Travis to walk into Arrowhead wearing a lumberjack flannel next game!”
