KSTP-TV sports reporter Chris Long knew All Too Well that it takes a Mastermind to produce a segment like the one he aired last weekend.
With Taylor Swift‘s Eras Tour in town, Chris Long knew the assignment and he was Ready For It: fit as many Taylor Swift references into his live TV segment as possible.
There are 44 songs in Taylor’s Eras Tour setlist. Chris Long managed to squeeze 45 song titles into his segment, cementing his role as The Man.
Many outside of the Minneapolis region might’ve missed his brilliantly written segment but CJ Fogler pulled the segment and shared to Twitter where it has since gone viral after being posted on FTW:
I’m far from a Swifty but was fortunate enough to be gifted tickets to one of her Atlanta shows and honestly, I completely and totally understand the craze surrounding this tour. Everything about it has seemed larger than life from start to finish.
She crashed TicketMaster and her fans started a revolution. This tour is expected to officially make her a billionaire. The tour is so seismic MLB teams are moving game times to accommodate the Eras Tour.
Over the weekend, Taylor Swift also used her captive audience to encourage her legions of fans to not harass John Mayer before busting into ‘Dear John’ as one of her two surprise songs for the evening.
Taylor Swift on the release of ‘Speak Now’ TV before performing ‘Dear John’:
“I’m 33 years old, I don’t care about anything that happened to me when I was 19… I’m not putting this album out so you can go on the internet and defend me against someone you think I wrote a song… pic.twitter.com/cFQbKQk8vD

Ms. Swift will soon release a re-recorded and remastered ‘Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)’ album which features ‘Dear John’, a song about her relationship with John Mayer. It appears she’s getting out ahead of fans doing to John Mayer what they did to Jake Gyllenhaal.
