Collins was surprised when his own brush with Taylor Swift was recounted.
creating a nexus where pop culture, music, celebrity and the mighty NFL coalesce into the birth of a new and brilliant constellation, there was a young country singer named Taylor Swift and a veteran quarterback named … Kerry Collins.
Collins was also a huge country music fan. He was asked to present an award at the CMAs — already a thrill for him — and then was asked something else. The next scene opens in a locker room. Collins is wearing his light blue No. 5 Titans jersey, Swift is in a light blue No. 1 Titans jersey. Both are adorned with eye black and white Titans helmets.
Swift feigns being hurt, yelling, “You hit me!’’ as she doubles over in pretend pain, but not before punching Collins in the stomach.“They put the pads on her, we both had pads on. They said, ‘We want the energy you would have before a game in the locker room,’’’ Collins remembered. “I’m like, ‘OK, this girl’s not very big.’ You could see we were banging shoulder pads and stuff. They kept going, ‘More energy.
Collins is not merely a country music fan. Always an introspective person, he spent several years dabbling in songwriting, penning lyrics. He said he can “put a few chords together’’ on the guitar, but rated his singing as “terrible.’’ Living in Nashville provided inspiration and fertile collaboration opportunities. He worked with the Peach Pickers and wrote a bit with Chris Stapleton.
