Google's Year in Search report reveals some fascinating trends for Philly users this year. When it comes to jerseys, one might expect fans to be searching for those of Super Bowl champions like Jalen Hurts or Saquon Barkley, but instead, wide receiver DeVonta Smith emerged as the most popular search. Notably, he's not even the player who led the team in receiving yards over the past three seasons.
Meanwhile, cornerback Cooper DeJean's gear in kelly green took second spot among jersey searches. The top five rounded out with an unexpected twist: a jersey search for the Pittsburgh Steelers, retired NBA point guard Jeff Teague, Patriots quarterback Drake Maye, and even a jersey search for "67" – although it's unclear what sparked that curiosity.
In other areas of interest, fans were searching for tickets to NBA YoungBoy's concert tour, with the top ticket search spot in Philly. Taylor Swift proved to be a dominant force, both locally and nationally, as users searched for her music, songs from her "The Life of a Showgirl" album, and even crossed over into podcasting with her fiancé Travis Kelce's show.
On the sports front, Jalen Carter, a defensive tackle for the Eagles, ranked No. 9 among athletes on Google's national charts, while teammate Jalen Hurts came in fifth globally. The movie "Superman" led by David Corenswet was the second-most searched film worldwide, and Villanova alum Pope Leo XIV was another popular figure.
Lastly, Philly users took an interest in local news too, with 30th Street Station cracking the top 10 searches for transit stations nationwide.
In a broader context, Google's Year in Search report offers insights into what captured people's attention this year. With music, sports, and entertainment dominating searches, it's clear that fans were looking to Philly's popular figures for inspiration – or perhaps just escapism from everyday life.
