Minnesota Sports Anchor Chris Long Goes Viral For Taylor Swift Segment on the News, Talks a Lot of Twins

With Taylor Swift taking over Minneapolis this past week, Minnesota sports anchor Chris Long went viral for getting more than 40 Taylor Swift song references into his local newscast, including with highlights of the Minnesota Twins.

Look, I know very little about Taylor Swift, and even I'm impressed by this.

Swift brought her famed "Eras Tour" to Minneapolis this week and KSTP sports anchor Chris Long went viral for incorporating Swift songs into his sportscast on the local news.

A big focus of that local news was the Minnesota Twins, who are wrapped up in a series with the Detroit Tigers.

We thank the people at Awful Announcing for the transcript and identification of Swift songs:

“Twins fans knew All Too Well a Cruel Summer might develop if they didn’t find some Daylight this week, but they got Out of The Woods with three-straight wins. Hoping the Goldrush continues seeking a fourth-straight win in Detroit, Pablo Lopez started, but Death By a Thousand Cuts, a Treacherous second inning – a failed double play, a walk and two bloop singles had the Twins seeing Red, down 3-0.

“In the sixth, the Fearless Carlos Correa trying to Shake It Off and oh, I Think He Knows – deep into the Lavender Haze for a Clean solo homer. It was 3-2 when the Twins loaded the bases in the 8th, but Alex Lang pulled the Invisible String on a Mean hook to say Peace to Royce Lewis.”

The Twins lost to the Tigers on Saturday, 3-2 and the two teams will finish out the series on Sunday at 12:10 p.m. ET.

Bailey Ober pitches for Minnesota and Michael Lorenzen goes for Chicago, but the real question is, how will Long do the highlights?
