As the summer of Taylor Swift comes closer and closer to an end, it’s simply going to be the fall of Taylor Swift. The international phenomenon isn’t slowing down in her cultural impact, and a recent TikTok of Wisconsin Badgers football players belting out her song proves that point.
Taylor Swift is having one of the biggest years in recent music history. She has, without a doubt, dominated the zeitgeist so far in 2023.
Her 2022 album ‘Midnights’, has been at or near the top of the Billboard charts all year long. Swift’s ‘Eras Tour’ just finished up its first domestic leg, where it smashed record after record in city after city. Her re=recording of album ‘Speak Now’ has been a smash hit. And she is releasing her re-recording of another one of her albums, ‘1989’, in October. Right now, she has four albums in the Billboard 200 top 10.
Meanwhile, the Wisconsin Badgers have just wrapped up preseason camp ahead of their opener against Buffalo next Saturday. First-year head coach Luke Fickell and his team were picked to win the Big Ten West in the preseason . But, they found some time to keep things light during preseason camp, as many teams do.
This TikTok of quarterback Cole LaCrue singing Swift’s 2008 song ‘You Belong With Me’. Take a look.

You’re flat-out lying to yourself if you don’t think this song is a bop. People will know the lyrics to this song and sing it at bars and parties for generations, ironcially or not. As for Wisconsin’s singing, not too bad!
