On Saturday, Joey Votto revealed his new walk-up song list, which features multiple Taylor Swift songs. He took to Twitter to share his list with his fans, who immediately slammed him.

Many asked Votto to concentrate on his game rather than his walk-up songs.

That said, others reacted positively and asked Votto if he would take suggestions for the other games too. Some Swifties even encouraged him to choose the song "Red."

Votto tweeted:

"Alright, thanks for today's suggestions. Tomorrow's lineup: All Too Well (10 min version) from 1:30, Cruel Summer from the 28-second mark, Shake it Off at the 40-second mark, and Mean at the 32-second mark. Whatcha think?"

Here are some of the reactions:

Being the first baseman for the Cincinnati Reds, Votto perhaps should have picked the song "Red."
