Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce's fiancee Taylor Swift has been in the news since her 12th album, The Life of a Showgirl, debuted at the start of the month.

The ninth song of her album titled Wood has been in the spotlight for its suggestive lyrics. The Ringer's Bill Simmons talked about the lyrics on his podcast and dropped a new nickname for the Chiefs star.

"I made a lot of jokes during the game about Travis Kelce," Simmons said. "It's a little bit of a deep cut on the Taylor Swift album, but it was a very controversial song and the album called Wood, which people thought was about Travis Kelce's healthy manhood.

"So we were just calling him Wood the whole game, and it was very enjoyable. I was like, 'Mahomes, get it to Wood.' It clearly should be his nickname. She wrote this whole gushing love song about his sexual prowess like he should just be Travis 'Wood' Kelsey."

While the song has stirred controversy because of iitslyrics, Taylor Swift didn't intend it to be like that when she started recording the song.

"I brought this into the studio and I was like, ‘I wanna sort of do a throwback kind of timeless sounding song,’” Swift said. “It really started out in a very innocent place! I don’t know what happened, man, once I got in there, we started vibing, and I don’t know.”

Swift's album made history after selling 3,479,500 copies in the first week of iitsrelease, breaking the record set by Adele in 2015 after her “25" sold 3.378 million copies in its first week.

Although having started out professionally as a cricket writer in 2022, Chaitanya's curiosity and indiscriminate interest in all sports in general eventually introduced him to America's favorite pastime.

While Chaitanya's favorite player from the current crop is the dynamic Venezuelan Ronald Acuna Jr., his all-time favorite, however, is Pedro Martinez, for his self-belief and consistency. He also rates Jose Bautista's iconic bat flip in 2015 as his favorite moment in baseball history.

Chaitanya specializes in reporting on technical aspects of the game or analyzing patterns behind specific plays. He also likes pondering over players' self-assessments following the conclusion of a game as it helps him get an idea of how they think about the sport in general.

When not cheering for his favorites across sports, Chaitanya likes being transported to the past through a good war documentary or a historical documentary in general.
