Global pop superstar Taylor Swift might be the most popular artist on the planet right now and is on track to surpass $2 billion in ticket sales for her global Eras Tour. And it seems that this hysteria has even reached the locker room of a major college football program.
This week, the Wisconsin Badgers football team shared a video on Twitter showing freshman quarterback Cole LaCrue performing his own rendition of the Taylor Swift hit You Belong With Me in the team meeting room in front of all of his teammates. And it wasn’t long before the whole team joined in.
By the time LaCrue got to the pre-chorus of the song, seemingly the entire team was joining in along with him, singing the song perfectly as a call and response.

The video has since gone viral on social media as plenty of people shared their responses to the epic karaoke performance from the Wisconsin quarterback.
Big Cole LaCrue fan. https://t.co/AHukkQ1V3x

You may not have exactly expected it, but it’s clear that the Wisconsin Badgers football team has a bunch of Swifties on its roster. But based on how popular her current tour has been, that’s certainly not something to be ashamed about – they’re in good company with the rest of the world.
