Jared Goff has earned the affectionate title of “Swiftie” from fans after showcasing his impressive knowledge of pop sensation Taylor Swift. As the Lions quarterback gears up to lead Detroit into the crucial NFC Championship Game against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, he and teammate Aidan Hutchinson took a break from their preparations to tackle a different challenge.
Both Lions players were tasked with revealing their favorite Taylor Swift songs, and their responses were shared on the NFL’s TikTok channel, captioned with ‘this is so pure’ and a love heart emoji.
Goff enthusiastically shared his top picks, saying, ‘Okay, my favorite songs. My first one, I’m going with “Getaway Car”. No. 2, I’ll go with “The 1”. No. 3, I’ll go with “All Too Well (10 minute version)”‘. Hutchinson, on the other hand, expressed his fondness for ‘Love Story’, describing it as an oldie and a classic.

Swift supporters and new fans alike were impressed by Goff’s knowledge, with one social media user stating, ‘Jared Goff is a Swiftie no doubt. He just named three songs from three different albums. I’m impressed.’ Another wrote, ‘Did I just become a Jared Goff fan? Yes, I did,’ and a third declared, ‘Officially rooting for the Lions now!’
Goff’s admiration for Taylor Swift is not new; in 2018, he openly shared his experience meeting her backstage at a Rose Bowl concert and admitted to being a big fan. He even revealed that he occasionally plays her music and mentioned encountering Kobe Bryant at one of Swift’s concerts. Notably, “Taylor Swift” was among the audibles he chose for the 2018 season.
