Bill Maher didn\u2019t hold back while comparing Taylor Swift\u2019s ex-boyfriends and her fiance, NFL star Travis Kelce.<\/p>\n

During Friday\u2019s episode of Real Time With Bill Maher<\/a>, the host was monologuing about sexual intimacy rates among Americans and the rise of the \u201cromantasy\u201d book genre \u2014 which often features mythical creatures as part of a love plot \u2014 when he broached the topic of Swift and Kelce<\/a>, who announced their engagement in August 2025<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Describing the plot of one such novel in the popular genre, Morning Glory Milking Farm, Maher said: \u201cOne thing leads to another and she winds up f****** a guy who\u2019s half bull … which brings me to Taylor Swift.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a photo of Swift and Kelce<\/a>, a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, flashed on the screen, Maher continued, \u201cHear me out. I think Taylor Swift epitomizes the journey a lot of women have been going through. Yes, women wanted men to be more sensitive \u2014 sensitive, but not some noodle-bodied human turtleneck who wears the same clothes they do.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTaylor Swift went from writing songs about what a d*** this guy was to her, and what a d*** this guy was to her, to what a d*** this guy has,\u201d Maher continued, seemingly referring to Swift\u2019s song \u201cWood\u201d from her latest album<\/a>, The Life of a Showgirl. \u201cShe dated a procession of skinny, gay-adjacent, meek porcelain doll, shy guy, twink-like, tortured poet metrosexuals in America and Europe. But that second she got some old school wood from the Heartland, it was game over,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The ninth track on the pop star\u2019s latest album<\/a>, which launched in October, is replete with sexual innuendos about how Kelce\u2019s love changed her life.<\/p>\n

\u201cForgive me, it sounds cocky \/ He ah-matized me and opened my \u0435yes \/ Redwood tree, it ain\u2019t hard to see \/ His love was the key that opened my thighs,\u201d Swift, 36, sings in the post-chorus.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd baby, I\u2019ll admit I\u2019ve been a little superstitious (Superstitious) \/ The curse on me was broken by your magic wand (Ah) \/ Seems to be that you and me, we make our own luck \/ New Heights (New Heights) of manhood (Manhood),\u201d continues Swift, referencing Kelce\u2019s popular New Heights podcast<\/a>. \u201cI ain\u2019t gotta knock on wood.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kelce shared his verdict on the tune during an October episode of his podcast, hosted alongside his brother, Jason Kelce, saying: \u201cIt\u2019s a great song!\u201d<\/p>\n

Jason later gave his seal of approval as well, saying: \u201cI think inserting wood innuendos is always childish enough for me that I can get on board with that.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Your support helps us to tell the story From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":470064,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[57],"tags":[236,88],"class_list":["post-470063","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/470063","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=470063"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/470063\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/470064"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=470063"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=470063"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=470063"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
