Taylor Swift fans hijack Travis Kelce’s birthday video – and things got hilariously inappropriate

Travis Kelce just turned 36, and Swifties decided subtlety was not on the guest list. The Kansas City Chiefs posted a 32-second TikTok tribute showing “The Archer” – Kelce’s signature bow-and-arrow pose as he charges onto the field – but fans had something far more suggestive in mind. Instead of celebrating the football highlight reel, Swifties flooded the comments section to wish “Mr. Wood” a very happy birthday, all thanks to Taylor Swift’s recent NSFW lyrics comparing her fiancé to a “redwood tree.” Can’t look at Travis without blushing anymore,” one fan wrote, while another declared they were “celebrating the biggest tree in the forest today.”
Wishing the happiest of birthdays to the human exclamation point❗️

All because of an NSFW Swift lyric
The replies only got cheekier from there, with many fans joking that Kansas City might need to rename “The Archer” altogether – since Swift’s followers have “erected” a much more fitting nickname.
The whole thing stems from Taylor’s song “Wood” off her record-breaking new album The Life of a Showgirl, where she doesn’t exactly hold back. “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,” she sings – a lyric that has lived rent-free in the fandom’s collective mind ever since.

A long love letter to Travis
Between “Wood” and her romantic track “Wi$h Li$t,” which dreams of “a driveway with a basketball hoop” and “a couple kids,”Taylor’s album has become one big love letter to Kelce. And now, fans are making sure his birthday is one he’ll never forget. As one top comment perfectly put it: “The Archer? Nah. He’s The Hardwood now.”
