Taylor Swift calls Philadelphia shows 'a dream'

Berks County native Taylor Swift let her fans know exactly how it felt to sell out three nights of concerts in Philadelphia.

Taking to social media on Tuesday, the singer revealed how much of “a dream” it was to perform at the Lincoln Financial Field while on her Eras Tour, the same stadium she remembers from childhood.

Swift will play at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh on June 16 and 17.

“Philly was a dream, honestly,” the megastar tweeted. “Playing three nights in the stadium I used to see on tv when my dad watched Eagles games every Sunday. The most magical 3 hometown shows a girl could hope for. Plus I got to emotionally hobble my way through singing The Best Day for my mom on Mother’s Day.”

She also took time during one of the concerts to declare her love for a particular football team.

On Friday night, during the first show, the “Wildest Dreams” singer took a moment to dispel a longstanding rumor, according to a tweet from the NFL.

In the song “Gold Rush,” there’s a line in the song that says, “with my Eagles T-shirt hanging from the door.” Fans have been debating whether Swift was talking about the legendary band or the team.

“I saw some people wondering if it was the band The Eagles or the team the Eagles. I love the band The Eagles, but guys, like, c’mon. I’m from Philly. Of course, it’s the team,” she says in the tweeted video as the crowd roars.

Speaking of the Eagles, dedicated Swifties may be able to remember when Swift previously wore a custom Eagles jersey, as ESPN reported.
