“I did see the debate about (her NFL fave) ... I have a lyric that says, ‘With my Eagles t-shirt hanging from the door,’” Swift told her audience, referencing the song "Gold Rush.'' "I saw some people wondering if it was the band the Eagles or the team the Eagles and I love the band the Eagles. ...''
