Barstool boss Dave Portnoy has ripped into Taylor Swift over a track on her new album which has been described as her 'raunchiest song yet'.

The superstar, 35, dropped The Life of a Showgirl album on October 3, and the record includes an overtly sexual song dedicated to her fiancé Travis Kelce.

Strewn throughout the entire song are lyrics about how the Kansas City Chiefs tight end finally broke her unlucky streak in love. 

And in the track, the newly engaged singer mentions his 'magic wand', 'Redwood tree' and detailed how 'His love was the key / That opened my thighs.'

The overtly sexual song left some fans stunned, including die-hard Swiftie Portnoy, who took to social media to reveal his shock after hearing the song.

In a video on X, Portnoy said: 'Gonna snap through it right away and get into the next thing; Life of a Showgirl. I've probably listened to it three or four or five times.

Barstool boss Dave Portnoy ripped into a raunchy song on Taylor Swift's new album

The superstar, 35, dropped her already critically acclaimed pop album on October 3, and the record includes an overtly sexual song dedicated to Travis

'New Heights of manhood / I ain't gotta knock on wood,' she sings in one of the many songs dedicated to her fiancé in her new album

'Without further ado, I have my top five songs from Life of a Showgirl. So here we go Number 5, Honey. I like it. Number 4, Eldest Daughter. Number 3, Life of a Showgirl. Number 2, Fate of Ophelia. And my favorite song on the entire album is Opalite. 

'I think that has a chance to be hit. Very cool song. Happy-go-lucky, dancing through the lightning strikes - I can see myself singing along. Now, there is caveat. 

'I really did like the song Wood the first couple of times I listened to it - it hooks you right away! You know I'm on message boards chopping it up with the Swifties. 

'What is this song about? It's about Travis' d***. And then you re-listen and there's 'Redwood tree' and 'hard rock'. No, I'm not bopping and weaving to a song about Travis' d***.

Portnoy - who has often spoken highly of Swift and previously received a hand-written note from the superstar - wasn't the only one who was stunned by the song.

Plenty of fellow Swifties are taken aback by the lyrics. At the beginning of the song, she not-so-subtly references her and the football player's bodies together. 

'Forgive me, it sounds cocky / He ah-matized me / And opened my eyes.' 

She sings: 'Redwood tree / It ain't hard to see / His love was the key / That opened my thighs.' 

Portnoy gave his definitive list from the new album - but took time to speak on 'Wood'

On the ninth track of the song, she also referenced their engagement. 

'Girls, I don't need to catch the bouquet, mm / To know a hard rock is on the way,' Swift croons in the second verse of the tune.

At one point, she even references the NFL star's podcast with his older brother Jason Kelce as she sings in one of the pre-choruses of the song.

'New Heights of manhood / I ain't gotta knock on wood,' she sings, before adding that 'His love was the key / That opened my thighs.'

Just last month, Portnoy came out and boldly claimed that Swift is the only reason brothers Jason and Travis Kelce are raking in big-money - after it emerged that their partnership with Garage Beer is said to be worth an astonishing $200million.

Portnoy wrote on X: 'I feel like the Kelce’s keep getting stupid deals just so rich people can say they are friends with them and by extension Taylor Swift.'
