Jared Goff opens up on 'crazy' Taylor Swift shoutout on viral New Heights episode that broke the internet

After he was name-dropped by Taylor Swift minutes into her highly anticipated appearance on New Heights, Jared Goff has broken his silence on the 'crazy' reaction he received to the shoutout. 

Swift used Goff in her analogy when describing her level of football knowledge when entering her first date with now-boyfriend Travis Kelce over two years ago. 

Kelce, who hosts New Heights with older brother Jason, were coming off of being competitors during the most recent Super Bowl when Swift began her romance with the tight end.  

Swift inquired on the date about Kelce's personal life and asked what it was like to compete in a Super Bowl against your brother five feet away from each other. She described it as Jared Goff and Josh Allen on the field at the same time. 

Of course, offenses do not play each other, with Swift realizing now how 'insane' her question was. It's safe to say she's learned a thing or two since about the Lions and Bills quarterbacks since beginning a relationship with one of the best tight ends of all-time. 

'Yeah, pretty crazy, huh?' Goff said of the shoutout. 'Very cool I guess, it was a crazy couple hours last night for me and my phone.'

Swift's appearance on New Heights was so in demand that the channel's stream temporarily crashed on YouTube. 

During the episode, Swift briefly broke down in tears as she opened up on her long battle to reclaim her masters. She also lifted the lid on her whirlwind romance with Kelce, her father's recent heart surgery and her epic Eras Tour. 

And the NFL star quickly went viral after showering his girlfriend in compliments and affection. 'I'm the luckiest man in the world,' Kelce said repeatedly. 

The couple finished the episode with a kiss, after he was also seen holding and stroking Swift's hand and even kissing her head - much to the anger of some of the 1.3million fans who tuned in for the live stream.  

Travis also gushed over his girlfriend during the near-two-hour show on Wednesday night. 

'I give the Eras Tour credit (for our relationship) because if I had never gone to that show and been mesmerized and captivated and left with such a desire to want to meet you, I would never have gone on here and told everyone how butt-hurt I was,' Kelce said. 'I have never been just so engulfed in the curiosity of who you were.'

Goff was not mentioned again during the show. However, one mention shows the influence of Swift with the Lions star's phone ringing off the hook.
