Taylor Swift's highly anticipated twelfth studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, hit streaming platforms on Friday, October 3, 2025. One of the “Bad Blood” crooner’s superfan, Olivia Levin, has shared her honest review of the album and a track titled “Wood.” Music critics described “Wood” as Taylor Swift’s most raunchy song yet. Levin praised the songwriting, calling it brilliant.

“I am not that surprised. I mean, I think even though it has a lot of like uh sexual connotations, the songwriting is still brilliant and only Taylor Swift could do that. Only she could make a song and write a song about that and still make it so poetic and metaphorical with all these double meanings and everything.”

When asked about her general review of the album, Olivia opined that the project was everything she wanted and more.

“The general consensus, as well as my own, is that it is everything and more we wanted to be. I'm so happy that she chose to produce this album with Max Martin, Max Martin, and Shellback because we haven't had that since her Reputation album.”

She continued:

“It has been, I mean, there are theories swirling around about each song, but each song is just infectious, the melodies, they are already stuck in my head even after just a couple listens, and I think we're just overall very, very pleasantly surprised with this album, but also not really surprised because she never disappoints.”

More details on Taylor Swift’s "Wood"

"Wood" is the 9th track on Taylor Swift’s twelfth studio album, The Life of a Showgirl. According to the track’s description on Amazon, “Wood” tells a love story about superstition, or the lack thereof.

“The song ‘Wood’ is about, it’s a love story about, you know, kind of using as a plot device superstitions, popular superstitions, good luck charms, bad luck charms, all these different ways that we have decided things are good luck or bad luck, like knocking on wood and seeing a black cat. And that is kind of the way that I’ve decided to explore this very, very sentimental love song.”

Fans and critics, however, believe the song is about Taylor Swift’s fiancé, Travis Kelce, or specifically his private part. The song's post-chorus reads:

“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/ 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.”
