Philadelphia, PA – May 27, 2025

Global pop superstar Taylor Swift, a lifelong Philadelphia Eagles fan, will electrify Lincoln Financial Field by performing the national anthem to open the Eagles’ 2025 NFL season against the Atlanta Falcons on September 7. The announcement, confirmed by the Eagles’ official X account, has sent waves of excitement through the Philly faithful, who see Swift’s involvement as a rallying cry for a team coming off a 14-3 season and a Super Bowl LIX victory.

Swift, a Pennsylvania native from Reading, has long embraced her Eagles fandom, notably referencing the team in her 2020 song “Gold Rush” with the lyric, “With my Eagles T-shirt hanging from the door.” During her 2023 Eras Tour stop in Philadelphia, she confirmed the song’s nod to the team, igniting cheers from the crowd. Her performance of “Sweet Caroline” at the 2010 Eagles home opener remains a cherished moment for fans.

“Philly is in my blood, and the Eagles are family,” Swift said in a statement. “Singing the anthem for this team and this city is an honor I can’t wait to share.” The performance will feature a custom arrangement blending her signature emotional depth with the gritty spirit of Eagles football, sources close to the event told ESPN.

The Eagles, led by quarterback Jalen Hurts and defensive tackle Jalen Carter, are entering 2025 with high expectations after their championship run. GM Howie Roseman praised Swift’s involvement, saying, “Taylor’s passion for the Eagles embodies the heart of our fans. Her anthem will set the tone for our Super Bowl defense.” The team’s $60 million cap space has fueled offseason moves, including a potential extension for tight end Dallas Goedert, further bolstering their roster.

Fans on X are buzzing, with one post reading, “Taylor Swift singing for the Eagles? This season’s already a W!” Another fan wrote, “From ‘Gold Rush’ to the Linc—Taylor’s bringing Philly energy!” The performance will also honor retiring long snapper Rick Lovato, a Super Bowl LII hero, with Swift dedicating a portion of her set to his community work through Lovato’s Love Foundation.

As the Eagles prepare for their opener, Swift’s anthem is poised to unite the city and inspire a team chasing back-to-back titles. Follow the Eagles on X for updates on this star-studded kickoff.
