Singer Taylor Swift has been making herself at home at NFL stadiums this summer delighting thousands of self-proclaimed “Swifties” during her Eras Tour.
Her latest tour stop was at Acrisure Stadium, home of the Pittsburgh Steelers, on June 16 and 17, 2023.
Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett was asked if he was a Swiftie and planned to attend one of her Pittsburgh shows.
Pickett did not go but had a very good reason and hoped Taylor would forgive him for it.
Kenny Pickett Is Getting Married
His wedding is scheduled for June 24 to fiancee Amy Paternoster who liked Pickett was born and raised in New Jersey.

Paternoster played soccer at Princeton University.
Late last week, Pickett told Pittsburgh Steelers reporter Brooke Pryor that he and Paternoster were driving home to New Jersey to put the finishing touches on the wedding plans.
He hoped to catch a Taylor Swift concert at another time.

NFL Quarterbacks And Taylor Swift Fandom
As Swift continues her tour, NFL quarterbacks are showing their true colors as either true Swifties or not.
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow admits that he admires Swift but does not really listen to her music so we do not really expect to see him at Paycor Stadium on June 30 or July 1 when she performs there though he said he could “stop by”.

Last month, we saw New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers rocking out to Swift’s tunes when she performed at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey so we can confirm that he is a Swiftie.

Regardless of whether they are Taylor Swift fans or not, these NFL quarterbacks can only hope to earn half of the cheers at their home stadiums this season as Swift did in her spellbinding 3 1/2 hour show.
