Wednesday night was \u201cpretty crazy\u201d for the Detroit Lions quarterback.<\/p>\n
Jared Goff was perhaps working on a puzzle or maybe even cuddled up with a good book when his phone was ringing off the hook. No, Goff hadn\u2019t been traded, nor did the Lions manage to pull off a megadeal for Micah Parsons. Goff was interrupted by whatever he was doing because Taylor Swift name-dropped him during her highly publicized appearance, which broke the internet<\/a> and seemingly Goff\u2019s phone, too.<\/p>\n \u201cJason, on our first date, I legitimately asked him what it was like when the Chiefs played the Eagles in the Super Bowl and he looked across the field across the line of scrimmage and saw his brother standing five feet in front of him on the field,\u201d Swift told the real breakout star<\/a> of the biggest episode in New Heights podcast history, which is now sitting comfortably over 17 million viewers on YouTube.<\/p>\n \u201cI now know what an insane question that was,\u201d Swift added. \u201cI thought everyone was on the field at the same time. I thought that the quarterbacks \u2014 no, you don\u2019t understand, I thought it was like Jared Goff is here and Josh Allen\u2019s here. And they blow a whistle and go at each other\u2026 And it\u2019s like, who\u2019s going to win?\u201d<\/p>\n Jason Kelce would love to see Goff play some defense.<\/p>\n As for Goff, he had to play defense on his phone.<\/p>\n \u201cPretty crazy, huh?\u201d Goff told a group of the gathered Detroit media earlier this week. \u201cVery cool, I guess. That was a crazy couple of hours for me and my phone. I was like, \u2018Oh, OK.\u2019 But, yeah, kind of cool.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt was a crazy couple of hours for me!\u201d#Lions<\/a> QB Jared Goff on being name dropped by Taylor Swift on last night\u2019s @newheightshow<\/a> podcast. pic.twitter.com\/73Ti0MeBu3<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Hobie Artigue (@HeyItsMeHobie) August 14, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n Goff didn\u2019t offer the same introspective analysis that Taylor Swift, NFL Draft analyst<\/a>, gave on Xavier Worthy and different coverages. Still, he handled being name-dropped by perhaps the biggest star on the planet with ease. He\u2019s adept at dealing with media attention<\/a>, though he might not be ready for the constant spotlight that Swift and Travis Kelce navigate every day<\/a>. But that\u2019s a story for another New Heights episode.<\/p>\n \t
