During a recent interview with Variety magazine, Penn Badgley shared his thoughts on whether or not his character, Joe Goldberg, would be a fan of Taylor Swift.
Badgley expressed that he believes Joe would despise Swift due to her success and blonde hair.

This statement is despite the fact that Swift’s music has been featured in major moments throughout the series, including a Bon Iver collaboration from “Folklore” playing as the screen was set ablaze. Additionally, an episode in part two of season 4, “She’s Not There,” alludes to Swift.
