From Love Story to Look What You Made Me Do, Taylor Swift has captured audiences with her heartfelt songs and brilliant songwriting. And at a recent Yankees game, a commentator revealed what she knew about Boone and his music tastes. Yankees clubhouse reporters Michael Kay and Meredith Marakovits were discussing the game when Marakovits mentioned, “Now I don’t know if you knew this – Aaron Boone is a Swiftie.”

Kay answered, “I did not know that.” Marakovits continued, “His French mastiff that is no longer with us was actually named Taylor Swift ’cause his daughter Bella is also a big Taylor Swift fan. And they used to call the dog Tay-Tay. So obviously I needed to find out what Aaron Boone’s favorite Taylor Swift song is. It took a little while because there are so many good ones obviously – Blank Space, one of his favorites, and Never Ever Getting Back Together.”
