Once the interaction made its rounds around X, Swifties were surprised and shocked that “cowboy like me” was Zegler’s favorite Swift song, considering that track is considered to be an underground or underrated song by the 35-year-old Grammy-winning singer.
“Love when someone doesn’t say blank space or style for once,” an X user commented, referring to the two most popular songs on Swift’s 2014 album 1989.
“She has taste,” a fan account dedicated to Swift commented.
“TASTE,” another said.
“YESSS…based as h–l,” a user wrote. “I love cowboy like me.”
A fan with Zegler as their profile picture on X commented, “she has taste so true.”
Another pointed out, “i love how she’s such a genuine swiftie.”
This is not the first time the West Side Story actress has publicly expressed her love for Swift. At BST Hyde Park last weekend, Zegler was caught happily singing “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” from Swift’s latest album, The Tortured Poets Department, before Sabrina Carpenter’s show on Sunday evening.
Between her love for Swift and her electric stage presence in Evita, Zegler continues to charm fans both on and off the stage.
She will be playing Eva in Evita at the London Palladium until September 6.
