Taylor Swift has had an audience with the big guy.

WFAN legend Mike Francesa has been to several concerts and once took his daughter backstage to meet Swift, he revealed on his latest BetRivers podcast. And while Francesa is a hard marker, Swift has his vote.

“I like Taylor Swift,” he said. “I even, one time, thanks to the folks at [Madison Square Garden] got to take [Emily, his daughter] in to meet Taylor Swift, who could not have been nicer to every little girl in the place and in the meeting. … I was very impressed by her.”

Francesa went on to praise her “insane success” and her documented generosity. His Swift comments were prompted by a listener emailing to whine about her reported relationship with Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and the supernova of buzz it has created, including her much-ballyhooed trip to MetLife Stadium for Jets-Chiefs last weekend.

“She’s a great performer, a great talent,” Francesa said. “And now, you know, she can date whoever she wants. And now she’s dating a tight end.”
