Is Taylor Swift an Eagles fan? Pop star pictured wearing rare thrifted Philly merch

Taylor Swift has millions of fans across the world and her current Eras tour is selling out across America. The 12-time Grammy winner has had plenty of NFL fans in attendance throughout her tour. Swift was seen two years ago donning some Philadelphia Eagles merchandise while in New York.

She wore an Eagles sweater before entering a music studio in the Big Apple. The pop superstar performed at Lincoln Financial Field back in May. Her 2020 song Gold Rush started the rumors of her being a fan of the defending NFC champions. Swift confirmed the rumors during a performance in Philadelphia:

"I don't know how large the debate was, but I did see the debate. I have a lyric that says, ‘With my Eagles t-shirt hanging from the door.'

"I saw some people wondering if it was the band the Eagles or the team the Eagles, and I love the band the Eagles, but guys, come on. I'm from Philly. Of course it's the team."

Her fandom for the Philadelphia Eagles makes sense given that she's from West Reading, Pennsylvania. The All Too Well singer's team came up short against the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl in February.

It was rumored that Taylor Swift declined to be the Super Bowl halftime show performer due to the tour. Rihanna ended up getting the gig.

Can Taylor Swift's Philadelphia Eagles take the fight to the Chiefs at Super Bowl 59?

There has been a narrative around the Chiefs this year that they were favored by referees in the playoffs. The narrative began in the Divisional Round when they faced the Houston Texans where their AFC rivals were hit with eight penalties for 82 yards while the Chiefs were hit with four penalties for 29 yards. Two roughing the passer penalties also went against the Texans, sparking outrage among fans.

When two more incidents went against the Bills in the AFC Championship Game, those conspiracy theories only gained more momentum. While the NFL Referees Association has firmly denied those accusations, noting that they use different officiating crews for every game, there's one reason why penalties are unlikely to be a talking point tonight.

In eight straight games including the playoffs, the Eagles have been hit with fewer penalty yards than the opposition. That's good for the second-longest active streak in the NFL behind the Vikings (nine).

Is Taylor Swift's dad an Eagles fan?

Just like Swift, her dad has also been an Eagles fan for years.

Recently, fans ended up calling out Scott Swift for seemingly betraying their team and siding with the Kansas City Chiefs. Apparently, this took place after Scott was seen wearing a Chiefs lanyard while attending Swift's concert with Travis Kelce.

While on the New Heights podcast, Jason Kelce said:

“You’re gonna let this man’s devilishly good looks and relationship with your daughter sway you from a lifetime of fandom, Scott. This is ridiculous.”

To which Travis Kelce replied:

“Got him over to the good side, baby.”

Ahead of Super Bowl 59, Kelce was asked if Swift was torn between her fandom for the Eagles and her boyfriend suiting up on the opposite side. Kelce confirmed that Swift would be in Chiefs colors up in the suite at Caesars Superdome. However, he wouldn't say the same for Swift's father Scott.
