Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and his brother Jason Kelce’s popular podcast New Heights celebrated Valentine’s Day 2026 with a cheeky, fan-favorite nod to Taylor Swift’s hit song “Redwood” (often referred to as “Wood” in fan discussions)—dropping a virtual card that’s already blowing up online.

Travis Kelce’s Playful Valentine’s Day Post on New Heights References Taylor Swift’s ‘Redwood’ Song: “Wood You Be My Valentine?” Goes Viral
Posted on the official @newheightshow X account on February 14, 2026, the card features a grinning photo of Travis on a red background, with the punny message: “Wood you be my Valentine?” A prominent redwood tree graphic sits in the upper left corner, directly tying into Swift’s lyrics from her 2025 album The Life of a Showgirl.
The “Redwood” Song Connection
Taylor Swift’s track “Redwood” (Track 9 on the album) became one of her most talked-about songs last year for its explicit, playful references to Travis Kelce and his anatomy. Key lyrics include:
“Forgive me, it sounds cocky / He ah-matized me and opened my eyes / Redwood tree, it ain’t hard to see / His love was the key that opened my thighs.”
The song uses the “redwood tree” as a cheeky metaphor for Travis’s “you-know-what,” blending romance, superstitions, and innuendo. Fans praised the bold, empowering track, with many flooding Travis’s birthday tributes on TikTok with NSFW jokes referencing the lyrics. However, not everyone was on board—Dave Portnoy famously said the song made him “uncomfortable” in a public comment.
Travis himself has reacted lightheartedly on the podcast, joking about the references (once comparing his “wood” to a “Japanese maple” for laughs) and admitting he sometimes misses the obvious nods. The Valentine’s card playfully flips the script, suggesting Travis’s “tree” was key to winning Taylor over.

The podcast account didn’t stop at one post—they shared another Swift-themed gem: a throwback photo from Taylor and Travis’s joint appearance on New Heights in August 2025. The caption reads: “Be my loaf story” followed by a 🍞 bread emoji.
This ties into Taylor’s well-known love of baking, particularly her “sourdough obsession” she discussed on the podcast. She’s admitted to baking bread constantly (even sending loaves to Travis at training camp), turning it into a recurring inside joke for the couple.
Fan Reactions and Viral Buzz
The posts exploded on Valentine’s Day, with Swifties and Chiefs fans flooding comments with heart emojis, laughing reactions, and more innuendo. Many called it “peak couple goals” and “the best V-Day shoutout ever,” while others appreciated the humor in leaning into the song’s risqué reputation. The timing—right after Travis’s recent golf mishap and amid wedding rumors (the couple got engaged in 2025 and plans a summer 2026 wedding)—added extra fuel to the romance narrative.
Whether the card wins over Taylor (or anyone else) remains to be seen, but it’s clear the Kelce-Swift dynamic continues to blend sports, music, and cheeky wordplay perfectly. Travis’s “tree” jokes aside, fans are loving the lighthearted tribute.
Happy Valentine’s Day from the Kelces—what’s your favorite pun from the posts? Drop your thoughts below!
