Taylor Swift gets emotional about Patriots home stadium

Taylor Swift has been touring most NFL stadiums and recently paid a visit to the New England Patriots home, Gillette Stadium. Gillette has been a big concert venue for a long time, spanning a lot of Swift's incredible career of almost two decades.

In fact, Swift's very first concert was performed 13 years ago where the Patriots play. Swift said of the place that Tom Brady, Bill Belichick, Randy Moss and others have inhabitted over the years:

“My very first NFL stadium show was 13 years ago and it was right here in Gillette Stadium. And here we are 13 years later, tonight I get to play my 13th show at Gillette Stadium for this beautiful crowd. We just love you, there's something so special about the crowds that come and see us here, you're just absolutely extraordinary.”

Swift is very fond of the number 13, which comes from her birthday of Dec. 13. The fact that over the weekend, she could play her 13th Gilette Stadium show in front of Patriots fans, Swift fans and others, including Mac Jones himself, was a special experience.
