In his new free time, Watt is experiencing quality entertainment, attending a taylor swift concert weekend.
Swift, who is on tour for the first time since 2018, kicked off “The Eras Tour” in Glendale, Arizona, and Watt couldn’t believe her eyes.
“I went to the taylor swift concert last night with my wife and her friends. I got some feedback from the show,” Watt said in an Instagram video. “First of all, amazing. The production, the set design, the video boards, the sound quality, the speakers…it shows when someone does something at the top of their game and is trying to do it the right way for their fans. And this is done in the right way so that people who pay money come to see it. An incredible production.”

“It was 44 songs. Three hours and 15 minutes long,” Watt continued. “And she didn’t stop the whole time. There was no intermission. There was no halftime. There were no television timeouts. The longest break she took was maybe three minutes to change clothes.
“And she was singing, dancing, entertaining, the whole time. 70,000 people hanging on her every word and move for three hours and 15 minutes. And she crushed him. And she didn’t even look tired.”

“I’ve known for a while now. The time is right,” Watt said in December, according to NFL Network. “It feels like the right time. I’ve put a lot into the game and the wins and the losses, the mental stress and the passion that comes with it, it just weighs on you. It’s heavy, I mean it’s really heavy.
“Loses are very hard to take. You live with the ups and downs, and I’ve always said that I’d rather live with the ups and downs than never knowing in between. I have a son now. Obviously, I had a heart scare in the middle of the year, so certainly some of that played a role. But I’m very happy and I’m very at peace with it.”
