Taylor Swift is currently in the midst of her Eras Tour. The tour began in March and runs through August, hitting 20 cities. Swift has set multiple records at a variety of the stadiums she is playing at. However, Last week she was in New England for a trio of shows at Gilette Stadium, home of the New England Patriots. She also received a governor's citation from Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey.
For their part, the Patriots made sure that Swift felt welcome during her time in their stadium. Leading the way amongst the Patriot Swifties was quarterback Mac Jones. The three-year starter attended one of Swift’s tour stops alongside her girlfriend Sophie Scott. Furthermore, the Patriots put together a video highlighting some of their other players' favorite T-Swift songs.
Aaron Rodgers Goes Hard On Swift
After Foxborough, Swift headed to New Jersey with a trio of concerts at MetLife Stadium. After the Patriots showed out, it was clear that Rodgers, the new signal-caller for the hometown Jets, would be asked about the pop star's concerts. Turns out Rodgers is a major Swiftie. “I’m a fan, big fan," he began when asked before going into a deep dive into Swift's discography. "It's tough. It's really tough. I think my favorite album is Folklore and my favorite song off that album is probably “August.” And my favorite music video is ‘I Bet You Think About Me.’”
Furthermore, like the Patriots, the Jets put together a video showcasing their roster's knowledge of Swift. But back to Rodgers, he also confirmed that would he would be in attendance at least one of Swift's shows. Elsewhere, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy named the state sandwich after Swift. Murphy announced the "Taylor Swift ham, egg, and cheese" sandwich ahead of her stop at MetLife. After East Rutherford, Swift hits another 10 NFL stadiums so expect to learn the Swiftiness of Justin Fields, Joe Burrow, Pat Mahomes, Brock Purdy, and Russell Wilson to name a few.
