Taylor Swift Confirms Song Lyric Is A Philadelphia Reference

Author Nicole Michalik and Rachel Pitts

Taylor Swift confirms song lyric is a Philadelphia Eagles reference.

On her first night of residency at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia (5/12/23) Taylor Swift confirmed that she references the Eagles football team in one of her songs.

She sang ‘Gold Rush’ as one of her secret songs for the first night of three shows in Philadelphia. During her intro she mentioned how she saw fans online wondering if she references the band the Eagles or if she is tipping her hat at the Philadelphia Eagles football team.

Turns out it is a nod to her hometown football team, Philadelphia Eagles.

  • Helpful Tips

    Swifties have revealed that the last song played in each stadium before Taylor starts the show is Lady Gaga’s, “Applause.” When you hear that song, make sure to get to your seats. You won’t want to miss Ms. Swift’s grand entrance!

    Swift is transported from her dressing room to the stage in a janitor’s cart. Make sure to keep an eye out for it!

    Taylor will play two acoustic “surprise songs.” Fans have speculated that she will play “Ronan” on Friday, May 12th and “The Best Day” on Mother’s Day.
