Like, I now know what an insane question that was. I thought everyone was on the field at the same time. I thought it was like Jared Goff is here, and Josh Allen is here, and they blow a whistle. And they go at each other, and theyre like, Whos going to win?" she added, describing how she thought quarterbacks squared off in a one-on-one matchup.From there, Swift said she started to learn certain defensive schemes and went wild when the team drafted Worthy No. 32 overall in 2024.TAYLOR SWIFT STUNS AS SHOWGIRL ON NEW ALBUM COVER AS RELEASE DATE IS ANNOUNCED"I didnt know what a first down was. I didnt know what the chains were. I didnt know what a tight end was. Oh my God, I fell in love with it. I became obsessed with it. I became a person who was running through the halls of my house screaming, We drafted Xavier Worthy! My friends are like, 'Who body-snatched you? What do you mean we drafted Xavier Worthy?"Even Travis expressed skepticism when she was going wild about Worthy when he didnt even know who the team had drafted."I was so excited. I couldnt believe it," she added.Later in the show, Swift said her only interaction with spots was when she sang the national anthem at football games.TAYLOR SWIFT AND BOYFRIEND TRAVIS KELCE'S SHARED MORAL VALUES SPARKED ORGANIC LOVE STORY"My relationship with sports was like, you know, I grew up in Pennsylvania. I always heard my dad yelling at the screen watching Eagles games. That was always the sports sounds that I heard in my house," she said. "However, I was up in my room, playing guitar, learning instruments, playing piano. I was focused on different things. I was so laser-focused on music, and thats how it was in school."I would go to sporting events so I could sing the national anthem. Everything was a means to an end to get me to do music. I know every halftime show from the Super Bowls, but I didnt watch the sports."Travis took credit for Swift being "engulfed" by football in an interview with GQ Magazine."I definitely became obsessed with sports when it came to him," she added. "Im competitive on his behalf, but if you and me are gonna go against each other in something athletic, Im gonna let you win because I dont see what the points even mean. Im a fan of athletics and the sports. If Im doing the sports, Im throwing like this because I dont really care where its supposed to go."Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
