Benny Blanco is now a Taylor Swift fan thanks to his soon-to-be wife, Selena Gomez.
The pair sat down for an appearance on Hot Ones this Thursday, March 20, where the producer shared how he now actively listens to Swift's music. The latter and the Rare Beauty mogul are longtime friends, and during the episode, he divulged he now listens to Taylor Swift in the car, adding that he feels "free" when he does it.
The internet has since begun reacting to the anecdote, such as one user who jokingly claimed he wants Swift's blessings:
"he wants those tayblessings"
Here's what the rest of X is saying:
"Benny's got the right idea - Taylor's the GOAT, let's ride!" one user exclaimed.
"every swiftie deserves a swiftie husband/wife," another quipped.
"Selena is working efficiently," someone else chimed in.
"When Selena Gomez turns you into a Swiftie, you know it’s real. Benny’s on a journey now!" yet another penned.
Even more chimed in:
"Selena turning Benny into a Swiftie? Love to see it! It’s never too late to join the Swiftie squad!" one user humorously chimed in.
"Why is everything we hear about Benny and Selena against our will?" someone else quipped.
"Benny and Trav: two secure and confident men not afraid to admit they listen to INCREDIBLE female artists," another penned on X.
"Selena Gomez out here doing the Lord’s work, turning people into Swifties one car ride at a time," yet another jokingly noted.
Swifites on X were visibly thrilled, with many lauding Selena Gomez for turning her fiance into a fan.

Speaking on Hot Ones on this Thursday's episode, Benny Blanco said:
“I honestly didn’t know … before we started dating, like obviously, I was aware of Taylor Swift’s music. But I wasn’t like a true Swiftie until I was with [Selena]. And now I’ll be like, ‘Put that song on. How’s that one go again?’ And we’re in the car, and I’m like, ‘Wow I’m just singing Taylor Swift songs from 10 years ago and I feel free.'”
The Only Murders in the Building Star chimed in, noting “They’re timeless, what can I say." The couple's appearance on Hot Ones comes one day ahead of their joint album, I Said I Love You First, slated to come out on March 21. During the episode, the couple also reflected on their origins as a couple and the early days of them dating:
“What was our first party that we ever went to?” Blanco, 37, asked Gomez, 32. “I don’t know if this was the first but it was actually really funny. As a couple we went to Taylor [Swift]'s party after some awards show,” she revealed.
“I don’t know it was kind of cute, but I was mortified. Apparently cool people don’t show up to parties on time,” the singer and actress explained. “We’re the first people at every single party when I go with you. You show up when like my mother shows up to a party,” Blanco added. “No, I thought you were gonna talk about the fact that no one knew we were dating and we were hiding “
Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift have long been friends, since they met when the former was dating Nick Jonas and the latter, Joe Jonas.
