Kylie Kelce Is Happy for Travis Kelce for Inspiring Taylor Swift’s ‘Wood,’ Even If It Is TMI: ‘Good Job, Trav!’
Kylie Kelce is loving Taylor Swift‘s new album, The Life of a Showgirl — even if it is a little TMI when it comes to the podcaster’s brother-in-law, Travis Kelce.
On the latest episode of Not Gonna Lie posted Thursday (Oct. 9), Kylie praised the pop star for dropping a project full of “bangers” before listing her top tracks. “My favorites on the album are definitely ‘Wi$h Li$t,’ ‘Opalite’ and — who are we kidding — ‘Wood,'” she said.
The latter song definitely required a bit of a disclaimer from Kylie, as the buzzy lyrics are full of innuendos about Travis’ — ahem — package. On the track, Swift cheekily 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.”
“Here’s the deal,” the former field hockey player explained. “Do I need that much detail, specifically about my brother-in-law? Probably not. But also, good job, Trav!”
“That’s it! Guys, yes, 1,000%, yes,” she continued. “That’s women supporting women. Proud of you.”
Kylie is just the latest member of the Kelce crew to react to “Wood.” On this week’s New Heights, both Travis and Jason Kelce — who is married to Kylie — shared their thoughts.
“It’s a great song,” the Kansas City Chiefs tight end said on the Wednesday (Oct. 8) episode, playing coy. “I love that girl … any song that she would reference me in that way …”
“It’s not just you,” Jason retorted at the time. “It’s an appendage. It’s a very specific thing.”
But as much as Kylie loves “Wood” and “Opalite” — which she says she’s been “bopping to” with 4-year-old daughter Ellie on the way to school — the social media personality added on Not Gonna Lie that “Wi$h Li$t” is definitely her No. 1. Joking that she relates in particular to the lyric, “Have a couple kids, got the whole block looking like you,” Kylie quipped, “The Kelce genes are strong.”
“The genes are strong, guys, I don’t know what to tell you,” continued Kylie, who shares four young daughters with Jason. “We don’t have a fighting chance. Luckily, they make very cute children. Can confirm.”
Swift’s new album comes as Jason and Kylie are preparing to welcome the 14-time Grammy winner into their family as a sister-in-law. She and Travis got engaged in August, something they announced to the world on Instagram with the caption, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”
But while wedding planning is on the horizon for Swift, she has said that rolling out The Life of a Showgirl is her top focus for now. Her hard work is paying off as well, with the LP selling more than 3.5 million units so far and breaking the record for biggest opening week ever in the modern era.

It’s the final new music Friday (April 24) of the month, and everyone from Noah Kahan to Kehlani and Suki Waterhouse have put forth some of their best work as May waits just around the corner.
This week, Vermont’s favorite folk-rock singer-songwriter finally returned with a new album after four years of Stick Season, his breakout album that reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200. The Great Divide is 17 tracks of Kahan reexamining his worldview after struggling with his mental health in the years since he found fame.
And, as if taking cues from the success of first-ever Billboard Hot 100 top 10 hit “Folded” (which reached No. 6 on the chart in January), Kehlani leans fully into classic R&B flavors in an intentional push to recenter the genre’s traditions. “All the R&B artists, we want R&B to be back,” the artist told Billboard ahead of being named Billboard Women in Music’s Impact honoree. “We want good, long songs. We want three verses and bridges and modulations and all the things – we want that too. We just didn’t think anybody else wanted it. I have an allegiance to the genre, and I’ll keep it there.”
On top of the bounty of new albums, several artists have released fresh singles — including Suki Waterhouse, who returns with “Tiny Raisin” shortly after announcing her next album, Loveland, as well as Hayley Kiyoko and Gigi Perez, who teamed up for heartfelt duet “Collide.” Plus, Dylan Gossett adds “My Boy” to the mix, written as a letter to his son.

It’s been almost three decades since the LA-based casual wear brand Juicy Couture first hit store shelves, and the Hollywood-loved label has made its way back into the spotlight in recent years thanks to the Y2K trend resurgence and newfound love from influencers online.
Best known for its T-shirts, handbags and yes, those velour tracksuits (reportedly designed exclusively for Madonna at first), Juicy Couture pieces were seen on practically every major celebrity in the 2000s, from Paris Hilton and Britney Spears, to Jennifer Lopez and Kim Kardashian. Musicians like Miley Cyrus, Nicole Scherzinger and even Beyoncé have also been spotted wearing Juicy Couture, and now, a new Amazon deal makes it easy for you to get into some JC as well.
LIMITED TIME DEAL
Juicy Couture Cap Sleeve T-Shirt (Five-Pack)
$38.24 $44.99 15% off
Amazon is selling a five-pack of Juicy Couture T-shirts right now for just $39. Part of the “Juicy Sport” line, the cropped T-shirts are made from a super soft and breathable “performance” fabric that features a touch of spandex for easy movement and stretch.
That makes the T-shirts as ideal for a workout or yoga session as they are for pairing with your everyday ‘fits. The crop top look leans into the Y2K aesthetic and Amazon’s website shows the shirts styled with shorts, leggings and mini skirts alike.
This Amazon deal gets you five Juicy Couture T-shirts for under $40. That brings the price of each tee down to less than $8 — a virtually unheard of deal for generic T-shirts, let alone a brand name pick.
We like the five-pack above, which gets you a T-shirt in two shades of pink (including a light pink with the signature Juicy Couture cherries), plus navy blue, gray and black. You can choose from other color combinations online. The tees are available in sizes small to XXL.
ALSO AVAILABLE
Juicy Couture T-Shirts (Three-Pack)
$29.74
Don’t need five T-shirts? Amazon also sells a three-pack of Juicy Couture tees for just $30, bringing the price of each individual shirt to under $10.
ALSO CONSIDER
Juicy Couture Queen of Everything Mini Duffle Bag
$45.09 $79.00 43% off
And if you need a bag to take to the gym (or for an overnight stay), we like this mini barrel-style duffle bag, on sale for 43% off. The two-tone bag measures approximate 8.2 x 4.9 inches in size, which is enough room for your wallet, keys, change of clothes and toiletries. Choose to carry the bag via the top handle or with the detachable shoulder straps.
All of the above picks are officially-licensed products sold through Amazon’s Juicy Couture storefront. As with all Amazon deals, the sale prices could end at anytime, so we recommend adding the deals to cart while they are still live.
Netflix is bringing us back to the ’80s, and it’s making sure we have the right music for the occasion.
On Wednesday (April 22), Billboard can exclusively reveal that an original soundtrack is coming this week for the brand-new animated spin-off series Stranger Things: Tales From ’85. The score album, composed by Brad Breeck (Gravity Falls, We Bare Bears), will be released globally Thursday (April 23) at midnight ET.
Stranger Things: Tales From ’85 also arrives Thursday on Netflix, bringing viewers back to the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana, in the ’80s and reuniting us with some of the original show’s main characters. And much like Stranger Things, music plays a large role in the new show.
“This collection bridges the gap between the eerie depths of the Upside Down and the vibrant, neon energy of the mid-’80s,” Netflix said in a statement.
Tales From ’85 will feature not only a brand-new version of the original Stranger Things theme song, but the first episodes also include a selection of ’80s hits from artists like Black Sabbath, Billy Idol, Cyndi Lauper and more. Needle drops throughout the series include “We Got the Beat” by The Go-Go’s, “A Forest” by The Cure and “We’ll Meet Again” by Vera Lynn, “Rebel Yell” by Idol, and Lauper’s Billboard Hot 100 chart-topper “Time After Time.”
If it’s anything like the original show, artists with songs played in the new series could see a bump in streams and chart placements in the aftermath of the show’s premiere. After featuring the songs in pivotal moments, Stranger Things brought Kate Bush‘s “Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)” to a new peak of No. 3 on the Hot 100 in 2022, 37 years after its initial release, while Metallica’s “Master of Puppets” made its debut on the chart the same year, 36 years after it came out.
Fans can pre-save Stranger Things: Tales From ’85 (Soundtrack from the Netflix Series) by Brad Breeck here, and find the full score track list below.
