Taylor Swift unexpectedly name-dropped Real Madrid in track eight of her latest album, “The Life of a Showgirl”
The 14-time Grammy award-winner referenced the Spanish outfit in her song, “Wi$h Li$t”, which details the material things most people in the spotlight desire. Swift lists a yacht, an Oscar and Balenciaga sunglasses in the first verse before she writes, “They want a contract with Real Madrid”, in the second.
The line comes after the musician headlined two sold-out shows at the Santiago Bernabéu last year as part of her record-breaking world tour, The Eras Tour. Los Blancos’ home stadium was the only venue Swift played in all of Spain.
Around 130,000 fans attended the show across the two nights, including Real Madrid legend Toni Kroos. Swift took to social media following the stop on her tour, calling the two nights in Madrid “magical” while thanking those who attended.
The club soon had to postpone all concerts at the Santiago Bernabéu, though, to comply with local laws on noise limits.
