Anderson Cooper got ah-matized on New Year’s Eve.

The 58-year-old CNN journalist had some holiday fun live on the air with his pal Andy Cohen while co-hosting their annualCNN’s New Year’s Eve Livespecial.

As Cohen, 57,  sipped his drink and grinned at the camera, Cooper read out the lyrics to Taylor Swift’s innuendo-heavy song “Wood,” which was released on her 12th studio album,The Life of a Showgirl,in October.

“You’re probably familiar with this song, I was not,” Cooper said between giggles.

Cohen looked at his friend, teasing, “Sweetie, yeah.”

TheAnderson Cooper 360host burst out laughing multiple times while reading out the lyrics which include “Redwood tree his love was the key that opened my thighs” and “New Heights of manhood.”

As Cooper continued to giggle uncontrollably on air, Cohen teased him leaning in close and declaring, “Oh yeah, oh yeah, knock on wood, baby!”

The song features obvious nods to Swift’s now-fiancé, Travis Kelcewho has spoken about its viral lyrics on his ownNew Heightspodcast.

“It’s a great song,” Travis said in the October episode when his older brother, Jason Kelcespecifically asked him for his thoughts on “Wood.”

And when Jason tried to get Travis to elaborate, he played dumb, saying, “I love that girl, so what do you mean? Any song that she would reference me in that way…” later continuing the bit, saying, “I think you’re not understanding the song.”

The song caused such a stir when it was released that it was officially dubbed the most Googled song of 2025. And the lyric “he ah-matized me and opened my eyes” was one of Genius’ most viewed lyrics.

In addition to the Swift lyrics, Cooper and Cohen also had fun taking multiple shots on air, playing with handmade puppets in their likeness and FaceTiming Stephen Colbert to share another on-camera drink.
