Taylor Swift made a surprise announcement that fulfilled the wildest dreams of many of her fans in attendance, though it may have created bad blood with some of the pop superstar’s Dallas fans.
In 2020, Swift released a song called “Gold Rush” on her album “Evermore” that included a lyric about an Eagles jersey, but the song never clarified whether she was talking about the NFL team that made another Super Bowl run. last season, or the classic rock band of the same name.
Swift confirmed during a recent concert — at the home stadium of the Philadelphia Eagles, no less — that she was, in fact, referring to the team in the lyrics.
“I don’t know how far the debate went, but I did see the debate,” Swift said. “I have a lyric that says, ‘With the Eagles jersey hanging on the door.’ I saw some people wondering if it was the band the Eagles or the team the Eagles, and I love the band the Eagles, but guys , come on. I’m from Philly. Of course it’s the team.”
That revelation prompted what might have been the biggest roar the stadium has heard since Jalen Hurts and the NFL’s Eagles won the NFC championship there in late January. A fan can even be heard yelling “Come on, birds, baby!” in the background.
Swift is originally from the suburb of West Reading, PA, so it makes sense that she would have a love affair with her hometown NFL team like many other Philadelphia-area celebrities. This list includes actors Bradley Cooper, Will Smith and Miles Teller, MLB superstar Mike Trout, comedians Tina Fey and Kevin Hart, musicians Questlove and Meek Mill, late NBA icon Kobe Bryant and even President and First Lady Joe and Jill Biden.
By erasing any blank space in the debate about who their favorite NFL team is, Swift may be more of an anti-hero to her fans who also love the Dallas Cowboys or New York Giants, though they might also follow their tips and shake them. switched off.
