Taylor Swift's third late-night show appearance
This will mark Swift's third late-night show appearance this year. She previously was a guest on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and Late Night with Seth Meyers. This press run followed the release of her 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, which dropped on Oct. 3. During her appearance on The Tonight Show, she explained how the concept behind “Wood” off of The Life of a Showgirl came to be.
“I brought this into the studio, and I was like, ‘I want to do a throwback, kind of timeless-sounding song,’ and I have this idea about, like, ‘I ain’t gotta knock on wood,’ and we would knock on wood, and it would be all these superstitions,” she explained.
Swift continued, “And it really started out in a very innocent place. [Laughs] You know, it started out… I don’t know what happened, man.”
In the song, Swift sings, “Forgive me, it sounds cocky / He ah-matized me and opened my еyes / Redwood tree, it ain't hard to see / His love was thе key that opened my thighs,” referencing her fiancé Travis Kelce.
She further detailed, “I got in there. We started vibing, and I don’t know. I don’t know how we got here, but I love this song so much.”
