Aaron Rodgers is having a blast in New York. After publicly expressing his desire to play for the New York Jets, the Green Bay Packers have officially waved goodbye to Rodgers, and the 4x NFL MVP has indeed found himself a new home. The people of New York have been nothing but welcoming of A-Rod, even offering him dinners at iconic venues. However, the icing on the cake turned out to be an eventful evening at MetLife Stadium, the home of the New York Jets, and Rodgers got to live his fanboy moment.
Just a few days back, Aaron Rodgers admitted to being a massive Taylor Swift. And the former Green Bay Packer lost it as the renowned pop star just happened to be performing at the Jets’ stadium. As expected, Rodgers wasn’t about to let go of the opportunity.

Not to sound utterly ignorant, but Aaron Rodgers barely fits the Swiftie demographic, yet Taylor Swift’s music has managed to leave a permanent imprint on the 4x MVP.
While professing his love for Taylor Swift’s music, Rodgers recently shared on SiriusXM’s Mad Dog Sports Radio, “Folklore’ is probably my album. My favorite song off that album is probably ‘August,’ and my favorite music video is ‘I Bet You Think About Me,’ which came out recently, a year or so ago, I think, and a couple of my friends, Miles Teller, and his wife, are in it. … I love that music video,”
Rodgers further shared his plans of attending Swift’s concert one of these days, and the legendary quarterback certainly kept his word.
