Survivor 46’s Charlie Davis has shown that he is a huge fan of Taylor Swift in Fiji.

In his first confessional during the February premiere episode, Charlie proudly mentioned, “I wear my Taylor Swift socks and my Taylor Swift Eras Tour merch. I even ride the Swiftie bus to law school.”

Charlie revealed before the game started that he has a special talent for identifying Taylor Swift songs within just a few seconds of hearing them. He mentioned to Parade in February that he can name any Taylor Swift song as long as he hears a few notes. Charlie joked that he has dedicated a lot of memory to Taylor Swift's music.

Charlie excitedly shared that if given the chance to choose a loved one for the iconic reward challenge, he would pick Swift every time.

He jokingly mentioned, "I would be so overwhelmed, I might just die. Imagine if Taylor Swift showed up on Survivor! I'd probably have a heart attack right then and there. Dr. Will would have to explain that I died from seeing my favorite celebrity."

As season 46 progresses, Charlie has fearlessly continued to wave his Swiftie flag high. Keep scrolling to see all the times he’s referenced Swift while on the island:

Taylor Swift vs. Metallica

In the second episode of Survivor 46, Charlie and his tribemate Ben Katzman, who is a big fan of Metallica, had a friendly challenge. They wanted to see who could name more song titles from their favorite artists.

Charlie shared in an interview, "I've been getting to know Ben and he's a music genius. So, I thought it would be fun to test my Taylor Swift knowledge against Ben's Metallica knowledge."

The duo took turns naming songs, with Ben struggling to name songs from albums he didn't like. Charlie joked, "I don't believe in any bad Taylor Swift albums." Ben eventually tapped out after naming 106 songs, giving Charlie the win.

"Looks like I win, Ben! This has been The Great War, just like another Taylor Swift song," Charlie teased, having named 108 songs from Swift's catalog.

Shouting Out Her Name While Taking a Leap

In episode 4, Charlie shouted "Swift" as he leaped into the water from a high platform during a challenge. Later on, he revealed the reason behind his enthusiastic shout.

Before the challenge, Jeff reminded us to have fun with the jump and not take it too seriously. A few days before Survivor, I attended the Eras Tour and decided to say something silly and lighthearted," he shared on X in March. "I was inspired by a scene from the movie 40-Year-Old Virgin where Steve Carell yells 'Kelly Clarkson.' I never expected it to be included in the final edit."

Talking Taylor With Jeff

In episode 8 of the challenge, Charlie was hanging from a pole when Jeff Probst said the phrase "long live," which caught his attention.

"Jeff, are you dropping Taylor Swift songs for me now?" Charlie asked jokingly. "‘Long Live,’ ‘Speak Now’? Is that your favorite?"

Jeff playfully responded that it was "one of them."

As Charlie persevered through the challenge, his fellow tribe members cheered him on, urging him to "shake it off." (In the end, Charlie finished in second place.)

“Aw! You set me up!” Charlie gushed. “My T Swift!”
