But with his latest outing, Rizzo has proved others wrong. He also opened up about his change in form and how a song helped him to get to his best. Given all the eyes were on him, fans found another reason to add their thoughts to the case.

It was a difficult period for the Yankees star Anthony Rizzo. The Yankees’ first baseman had gone without a home run since May 20. Things stayed the same for him even after the Yankees brought in a new hitting coach. But all this has finally ended, and a song by Taylor Swift played a significant role in this transformation.

Renowned Yankees insider Bryan Hoch shared a tweet reflecting on the same. It read, “Anthony Rizzo (4-for-4, 3 R, 2B, HR, 2 RBIs) said that he changed his walk-up song to @taylorswift13’s “…Ready For It?” today. Instant results.

When asked about this Swiftie transformation, Rizzo said, “Taylor Swift, it’s her summer, really. She’s helping the economy in every city.”

Rizzo was perfect with three runs in four hits and a much-needed home run in an 8-5 win against the Royals. A single song was all it took to transform the entire scenario.

Notably, it adds to the conversation of Taylor Swift’s Eras tour, which has garnered interest from everywhere. Days back, Aaron Boone shared his thoughts on it, and now, Rizzo has validated the impact of Swift on the lives of many athletes.
