The eve of 'Survivor's' 25th anniversary on May 31, 2025, coincided with the news that Taylor Swift had bought back her music catalog. Reacting to the music news on May 30, 'Survivor's' Instagram account shared a memorable season 46 moment involving castaway Charlie Davis proving he's a Swiftie.

"He'd be so happy today", Survivor captioned the Instagram Stories post of Davis, who is currently without a phone or news updates because he flew to Fiji just days before Swift's announcement to compete in the show's 50th season of returning fan-favorite players.

In the "Taylor Swift vs. Metallica" segment, Davis and fellow season 46 finalist Ben Katzman, a huge Metallica fan, challenged each other to name the most songs by Swift, 35, and the heavy metal band. Proving how big of a Swiftie he is, Davis defeated Katzman.

Davis will now be returning to the island for Survivor 50: In the Hands of the Fans, which premieres in February 2026.
