TAYLOR SWIFT 💥 You read that correctly, no typos here…Taylor Swift signs for Widnes Town. I’m sure this is the start of a great Love Story. ⚫️⚪️ pic.twitter.com/I0NqTWxKhp — Widnes Town FC (@WidnesTownFC) September 20, 2026 Widnes Town was hoping to shake off a winless start to the season after going 0-4-1 in August and getting knocked out of the First Division Challenge Cup on penalties. While Swift's signing was announced this week, he had already seen action in a Sept. 8 match, playing all 90 minutes and helping the club end a "cruel summer" by scoring a goal during a 2-2 draw with New Mills. It’s a love story, baby just say… YEEEESSSS!!! Taylor Swift slots one into the corner to open the scoring last night. Full match highlights available later today ⚫️⚪️ pic.twitter.com/61aJbwS4Jr — Widnes Town FC (@WidnesTownFC) September 9, 2026 The goal was scored, of course, in minute "22" of the match , making for a happy, free and perfect night. Widnes Town, currently in last place in the North West Counties Division One South through seven games, takes the pitch again on Sept. 26 in the Macron Challenge Cup against FC Isle of Man. They know "all too well" that should the winless stretch continue, new chairman Ryan Bamford will have to tell the "down bad" side, "look what you made me do" and make changes in order for the club to reach its "wildest dreams."
