Rachel Zegler, the actress known for her roles in West Side Story and Hunger Games, has recently delighted Taylor Swift fans with her choice of favorite song from the pop star’s discography. Currently performing as Eva Perón in Evita at the London Palladium, Zegler’s latest revelation has won her even more admirers within the Swiftie community.
During an interaction with fans, Zegler took a moment to consider her answer before declaring her favorite Swift song to be “Cowboy Like Me,” a track from Swift’s 2020 album Evermore. This choice surprised many fans, who responded with cheers and applause at the stage door, showing their appreciation for her unexpected selection.
The moment was captured on video and shared widely on social media, leading to a flurry of positive reactions from Swifties. Many expressed enthusiasm over Zegler’s choice, given that Evermore is often regarded as one of Swift’s most underrated albums. Comments from fans highlighted the joy of hearing a favorite that wasn’t the more commonly mentioned hits like “Blank Space” or “Style.”
Zegler’s longtime admiration for Taylor Swift is well-documented. Just recently, she was spotted enjoying a performance by Sabrina Carpenter, singing along to Swift’s “I Can Do It With A Broken Heart.” Her enthusiastic fan moments, combined with her impressive stage presence, have endeared her to audiences around the world.
As of now, Rachel Zegler continues to shine as Eva Perón in Evita, with performances scheduled until September 6. Her genuine love for Swift is also evident, as she actively engages with her fans on platforms like X (formerly Twitter), solidifying her status as a committed Swiftie.
