Watch Anderson Cooper React to Taylor Swift's 'Wood' During NYE Event

Anderson Cooper laughed on CNN's New Year’s Eve Live as he realized the sexual double entendres in Taylor Swift's 'Wood,' linked to her fiancé Travis Kelce.

  • Travis Kelce, Kansas City Chiefs tight end, told New Heights, `I love that girl & any song that she would reference me in that way` while Andrea Swift missed the innuendo and Kylie Kelce called 'Wood' a favorite.
