Watch Anderson Cooper react to Taylor Swift's 'Wood' during NYE event

Taylor Swift had Anderson Cooper giggling like a teenage girl on New Year's Eve as he read the lyrics to the singer-songwriter's spicy song "Wood" from her recent album "The Life of a Showgirl."

During CNN's annual "New Year’s Eve Live with Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen," Cooper, 58, could be seen raising his eyebrows and expressing his astonishment over the song's lyrics as his co-host Cohen, 57, sipped his drink, chuckled at the camera and encouraged the popular broadcaster to keep reading.

“You’re probably familiar with this song, I was not,” Cooper said about the song, to which Cohen responded, “Sweetie, yeah.”

As Cooper read the song's lyrics, which include “Redwood tree his love was the key that opened my thighs” and “New Heights of manhood,” he continued to giggle with Cohen, leaving no chance to tease his pal.

What have Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce said about 'Wood'?

"Wood," which is part of Swift's 12th studio album, is clearly about Swift's fiancé, Travis Kelce, with mentions of his podcast "New Heights" and getting a "hard rock," presumably her engagement ring.

While discussing the song on "The Tonight Show," Swift joked that her writing process for the song started "in a very innocent place," but that she doesn't know "what happened, man."

"I got in there, we started vibing, and I don't know how we got here," the singer told "The Tonight Show" host Jimmy Fallon.

Swift turns superstitions on their head in "Wood" with the line, "Seems to me that / you and me, we / make our own luck," before rounding out the bumping beat with "his love was the key that opened my thighs."

When asked on SiriusXM's "Morning Mash Up" what it was like to play "Wood" for her mom, Swift joked: "I think that she thinks that that song is about superstitions, which it absolutely is."

"That's the joy of the double entendre," she continued. "You can play that song for people, and it just goes right over their head. You see in that song what you want to see in that song."

Kelce also spoke about the viral song on his own "New Heights" podcast.

In a playful exchange, when Kelce's brother, Jason, asked him for his thoughts on the song, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end responded that "Wood" is a "great song." When his older brother pressed him further and alluded to the fact that the lyrics are presumably referencing the NFL tight end's manhood, Travis feigned innocence.

"Any song that she references me in…" Travis began before Jason interrupted, "That's not just any song. This is a very specific you." He added, "It's not just you, though. It's an appendage."

"What?" Travis replied, pretending not to get the double meaning of the lyrics. "I think you're not understanding the song."

Internet loves CNN's NYE duo

Besides blushing over Swift's new song, Cooper and Cohen appeared to be having great fun during the NYE special, taking multiple shots on air, playing with puppets made in their likeness and FaceTiming TV host Stephen Colbert. Social media users, meanwhile, could not get enough of the two getting tipsy on-air and giggling through the night.

Cooper, during the show, also delivered a heartfelt message about grief, reminding people they are not alone and encouraging them to end the year with hope.

'Wherever you are in the world, or in your grief, you are not alone," Cooper said. "You are here with us, and I am grateful that we are together."
