During Wednesday night’s episode, she also discussed a range of topics, including her new understanding of the football world.
“I thought it was like Jared Goff is here and Josh Allen’s here and they’re going to be like, they blow a whistle and then they go at each other and they’re like errrrr,” Swift said in the podcast. “And it’s like, who’s going to win?”
Now, the Detroit Lions quarterback is reacting to Swift mentioning him.
“Yeah, pretty crazy,” Goff said on Thursday. “Very cool, I guess. Yeah, it was a crazy couple of hours last night for me and my phone. Yeah, kind of cool.”
