Taylor Swift’s NFL Jersey Is Outselling Every Detroit Lion—And It’s Not Even Close
I love Taylor Swift as much as the next person—her music is incredible, her talent undeniable, and honestly, I get the hype. But can we talk about how her NFL jersey is outselling every single Detroit Lions player this season? ...Seriously?
According to Google search data compiled by Flashpicks, Taylor Swift’s Chiefs-inspired NFL jersey has racked up 114,520 searches since September, making it the eighth most popular jersey in the entire country. She’s outselling not just random benchwarmers, but big names, including Jared Goff and Aidan Hutchinson, who are having phenomenal seasons for the Lions.

For context, Hutchinson’s jersey is the most popular among Lions players, and he’s sitting at 55th with 16,680 searches. Jared Goff and Sam LaPorta are tied for 56th, with 16,520 searches each. Taylor’s jersey demand absolutely dwarfs those numbers.
Now, I understand the cultural phenomenon that is Taylor Swift, and I think it’s fun that she’s brought new eyes to the NFL. But as a Lions fan, I have to ask—why would you choose a Swift jersey over a Goff or Hutchinson one? These guys are out here grinding every week, leading the Lions through one of their best seasons in decades. Goff’s precision passing and Hutchinson’s dominant defensive plays are putting Detroit football back on the map.
It’s not just a Detroit thing, either. Taylor’s jersey popularity beats 1,689 active NFL players. That’s wild. Even Travis Kelce, her boyfriend and one of the league’s most talented tight ends, couldn’t escape the Swift effect—though he managed to stay ahead of her in jersey demand with 201,160 searches.
I get that the “Swiftie twist” on NFL gear is fun and trendy, and I’m all for blending pop culture and sports. But let’s not forget the real stars on the field: Jared Goff, Aidan Hutchinson, and the rest of the Lions are earning every bit of their spotlight. So if you’re repping NFL gear, maybe consider rocking a jersey from a player who’s actually, you know, playing.
