Mama Swift might wanna plug her ears for this one.

Taylor Swift's new *Life of a Showgirl *song "Wood" sweetly predicts her engagement long before it happened — but it's also filled with enough double entendres to make even an adult film star blush.

"Girls, I don't need to catch the bouquet / To know a hard rock is on the way," the 14-time Grammy winner sings on the track, which, like its 11 sisters, she seems to have recorded between May and August 2024, during the European leg of the Eras Tour, based on her remarks on the album on the Aug. 13 episode of her fiancé Travis Kelce's *New Heights* podcast.

Swift and the NFL tight end didn't reveal their engagement until Aug. 26 of this year, though, when the pop superstar made the big announcement in an Instagram post that included a photo of Kelce down on one knee embracing her in a beautiful garden.

"Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married," she captioned the post, which also included a close-up shot of her diamond engagement ring. Swift's rep confirmed to*  *at the time* *that the "hard rock" is an Old Mine Brilliant Cut designed by Kindred Lubeck of Artifex Fine Jewelry.

Clearly, Swift felt secure enough to reference getting engaged way back when she wrote "Wood," which makes sense — as she tells us in the record's third track, "Opalite" — because "all the perfect couples said, 'When you know, you know,' and, 'When you don't, you don't.'" Guess she knew!

The rest of "Wood" paints a vivid, naughty picture of why. Swift uses classic superstitions — lucky pennies, stepping on cracks, black cats — to relate that she once thought she might be unlucky in love forever. With Kelce, however, she knows what they have is built to last, so she has no need to "knock on wood."

"And baby, I'll admit I've been a little superstitious," she sings. "Fingers crossed until you put your hand on mine / Seems to be that you and me, we make our own luck / A bad sign, is all good / I ain't got to knock on wood."

Given the flirty, winking way she sings "wood," you might be tempted to think she's talking about more than just a kitchen table. And you'd be right. Swift carves out space for as many innuendos and euphemisms to the male anatomy as she can in the song's chorus. "Forgive me, it sounds cocky," she coos. "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."

And if you still haven't gotten the point, she drives it home one more time at the end of "Wood," boasting about Kelce's "New Heights of manhood." Subtle.
