It's not been a great year for Boston sports. After entering the history books for a record-breaking regular season, the Boston Bruins choked in the first round of the NHL playoffs. Elsewhere, the Boston Celtics are facing a 3-0 deficit in the NBA playoffs. Furthermore, the New England Patriots are still trying to find their post-Tom Brady identity. They went 8-9 in 2022, finishing third in the AFC East. While they added some new pieces in free agency and the draft, it's unclear where their future is headed.
However, that's not stopped the team from having some offseason fun. Taylor Swift is currently on her 52-stop Eras Tour. Starting back in March in Glendale, Swift has been crisscrossing the United States. May 19 brought her to Gillette Stadium, home of the Patriots, for three concerts. And the Patriots were eager to show Swift felt some hometown love.

Mac Jones And Others Show Out For Swift
Leading the way amongst the Patriot Swifties was quarterback Mac Jones. The three-year starter headed to one of Swift's tour stops alongside girlfriend Sophie Scott. "This night was SPARKLING ✨ I’ll never let it go 🥹💖🪩🫶 @taylorswift," Scott wrote on Instagram alongside pictures of her and Jones. Jones also posted a clip from the concert to TikTok with a caption saying that he was "Entering Swift Nation". However, he was not the only Patriot to show out for the singer.

The Patriots posted a video on their official social media in which a number of Patriots players revealed their favorite T-Swift song. While a number of players said "End Game ft. Future", Jones' favorite was "The Last Great American Dynasty", with "Karma" being a close second. However, not every player appeared to be as much of a fan as Jones. Some of his teammates only knew one or two songs from the artist. Meanwhile, Swift's tour continues, heading to MetLife Stadium for three shows starting May 26. Maybe we'll get to hear Aaron Rodgers' favorite Swift song. The tour concludes on August 9 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood.
