Jared Goff responds to ‘crazy’ Taylor Swift mention on ‘New Heights’
Jared Goff said his phone was ringing off the hook after Taylor Swift mentioned the Lions quarterback during her internet-breaking appearance on the “New Heights” podcast Wednesday.
Swift, 35, mentioned Goff and Bills quarterback Josh Allen while explaining that she had little knowledge about football until she got together with Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce in 2023.

After that, Goff, who looked down at his phone, said he went through “a crazy couple hours.”
“It’s pretty crazy, huh?” he said, smiling. “Very cool, I guess. That was a crazy couple hours for me and my phone. I was like, ‘Oh, ok,’ but yeah kinda cool.”
Swift, who revealed her new album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” will drop Oct. 3, said she wasn’t super familiar with the sport until Kelce, 35, came into her life.
“I thought everyone was there [on the field] at the same time,” Swift said. “… I thought it was like, Jared Goff is here and Josh Allen is here and [the referee] is gonna blow a whistle and then they go at each other, and it’s like, who’s gonna win?”
Retired Eagles legend Jason Kelce, who co-hosts the “New Heights” podcast alongside his younger brother, chimed in.
“Listen, I would love to see Jared Goff play some defense. Let’s see Jared Goff on defense,” Jason, 37, said, laughing.
Swift caught on quickly, saying she’s “obsessed” with the sport.
“I didn’t know what a first down was, I didn’t know what the chains were, I didn’t know what a tight end was,” she said. “I fell in love with it. I became obsessed with it.”
Swift added that she has great respect for NFL players and the pressure they endure in the sport.
The 14-time Grammy winner also called out male sports fans for complaining she’s given too much TV time during Chiefs games.
Swift attended her first Chiefs game in September 2023 and has supported Kansas City at home and on the road the past two seasons.
Kelce, now entering his 13th season with the Chiefs, will travel to Brazil for the team’s season opener against the Chargers on Sept. 5.
The Chiefs will host the Lions and Goff, 30, on “Sunday Night Football” weeks later on Oct. 12.
