tortured poets society

Swifites aren't just on the football fields these days.

Some songs hype you up no matter where you are. For baseball player (slash entertainer extraordinaire) Jackson Olsen, that song seems to be Taylor Swift’s “I Can Do It With A Broken Heart.”

A video posted to Youtube shows the Savannah Bananas Infielder bustin’ a move to one of the pop star’s latest hits from her “Tortured Poets Society” album as he walked up to the home plate. Guess Swift is an icon in every sport—not just football.

Watch below Olsen not only gets the crowd involved, but the unsuspecting umpire as well.

Down in the comments, people were praising Olsen for his unapologetic Swiftie-ness, and just his infectious energy all around.

“Taylor Swift needs to see this.”

“Omg this is my favorite thing ever. Protect this man at all costs”

“I absolutely love this I don't get into baseball or sports in general and have nooooo idea who this guy is - but I'm so here for his energy.”

“He's a whole vibe and I love it.”

“He’s definitely a Swiftie!!”

Of course, anyone who follows the Savannah Bananas knows that fun dances are just par for the course. Here’s a small sampling of what the team does on a regular basis:

It’s this commitment to fun that compelled Olsen to join the team in the first place.

In a reel posted to the Savannah Bananas’ Facebook page, Olsen explained how seeing videos from the team’s TikTok account convinced him that it was “the most fun team in the world” and he had to get involved. Even his application (which also consisted of TikTok videos) involved dancing. And since becoming part of the team, he’s been dancing ever since. When he’s not swinging a bat, that is.

Case in point: only two months ago, Olson delighted fans with a rendition of the iconic “I’m just Ken” performance from the Oscars…just before hitting a single.

Just goes to show that no matter what you’re doing in life, it will always be that much better with a little dancing.
