The pop star, 35, explained to “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” viewers that the ninth track on her “The Life of a Showgirl” album was inspired by “all these superstitions,” like knocking on wood.

Swift recalled, “I brought this into the studio and was like, ‘I want to do sort of, like, a throwback timeless sounding song.’

“And it really started out in a very innocent place,” the Grammy winner claimed. “I don’t know what happened, man.”

She said that once she “got in there” and “started vibing,” the song shifted.

“I don’t know how we got here, but I love the song so much,” the songwriter quipped, later adding that “the spice level on this album is high.”

The song, notably, features lyrics about a “redwood tree,” a “hard rock” and “new heights of manhood.”

“She thinks that the song is about superstitions, which it absolutely is,” Taylor told listeners. “That’s the joy of the double entendre.”

She joked about the smutty song going “right over [Andrea’s] head.”

Taylor concluded, “You see in that song what you want to see in that song.”

Kelce, 36, has yet to publicly respond to his fiancée’s song about him — but did seemingly spend his birthday on Sunday celebrating the album by seeing the “Official Release Party of a Showgirl” in theaters.

In an August podcast episode, filmed just ahead of Kelce’s proposal to Swift, the Kansas City Chiefs player called “Opalite” his favorite off his partner’s 12th record.

The song is a clear homage to him, as well as “The Fate of Ophelia” and “Wi$h Li$t.”
