During her New Heights debut, Taylor Swift <\/a>proved that she\u2019s gone from knowing nothing about football to an NFL superfan in the past two years when she name-dropped Jared Goff. And during a press conference Thursday (Aug. 14), the Detroit Lions quarterback shared his reaction to the shout-out.<\/p>\n While speaking to reporters at team training camp, Goff played it cool when asked what he thought about the pop star mentioning him on the podcast. \u201cYeah, pretty crazy,\u201d he said. \u201cVery cool, I guess.\u201d<\/p>\n More from Billboard<\/p>\n \u201cYeah, that was a crazy couple of hours last night for me and my phone,\u201d he continued, miming how he was surprised to check his phone and find it blowing up with messages. \u201cI was like, \u2018Woah!\u2019 Yeah, kind of cool.\u201d<\/p>\n The QB\u2019s remarks come one day after the New Heights episode in question dropped. While discussing her newfound passion for football with boyfriend Travis Kelce and his brother, Jason Kelce, on the show, Swift shared that she used to be so oblivious to the rules of the sport, she previously thought that all of the positions on each team \u2014 regardless of offense or defense \u2014 played on the field the entire game.<\/p>\n \u201cI thought it was like, Jared Goff is here and Josh Allen is here, and they blow a whistle, and they go at each other,\u201d said the 14-time Grammy winner at the time, laughing. \u201cI didn\u2019t know what a first down was \u2014 I didn\u2019t know what chains were.\u201d<\/p>\n Since beginning her romance with the Kansas City Chiefs tight end in 2023, however, Swift has transformed into a full-fledged NFL geek. \u201cI became a person who was running through the halls of my house screaming, \u2018We drafted Xavier Worthy!\u2019\u201d she added on the podcast. \u201cMy friends are like, \u2018Who body-snatched you? What do you mean?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Football was just one of several topics covered during Swift\u2019s appearance on New Heights. Sitting next to Travis, the musician dived into everything from her thoughts on life post-Eras Tour to reclaiming her masters and taking care of her dad, Scott Swift, after his heart surgery. She also shared a litany of details about her new album, The Life of a Showgirl, which arrives Oct. 3 and will follow 2024\u2019s 17-week Billboard 200<\/a>-topper The Tortured Poets Department.<\/p>\n \u201c[The album is] a lot more upbeat, and it\u2019s a lot more fun pop excitement,\u201d Swift said<\/a> on the podcast of the project, which she noted is about \u201cwhat was going on behind the scenes in my inner life\u201d during her two-year Eras Tour. \u201cMy main goals were melodies that were so infectious, you\u2019re almost angry at it.\u201d<\/p>\n Watch Jared Goff react to Swift\u2019s shout-out below.<\/p>\n Best of Billboard<\/p>\n Sign up for Billboard’s Newsletter<\/a>.
