Taylor Swift went from referencing her hubby Travis Kelce's wood to now talking about his hood ... shouting him out in her newest batch of songs.

Swift dropped 4 brand new songs on Friday as part of her "The Life of a Showgirl: The Encore" deluxe album ... and the song "Cleveland!" made a clear reference to her NFL star husband.
