Let the quarterback say “shake it off” in peace.

Aaron Rodgers’ new Jets team jumped to his defense over the weekend after Twitter had a field day with footage of the quarterback’s grope going to Taylor Swift during Saturday’s blockbuster ER visit at MetLife Stadium.

Jets defensive end John Franklin-Myers responded to a video posted on Twitter that showed Rodgers, 39, singing along to Swift’s smash single, “Shake It Off,” with a drink in hand.

“Wonder why he can’t dance in peace,” Franklin-Myers wrote, adding a crying laughing emoji.

Rogers attended the concert with his good friend, actor Miles Teller and his wife, Leigh Teller.

The group enjoyed the performance in the VIP area, where actors Ben Stiller and his wife Christine Taylor also watched Swift’s performance.

Rogers, who previously revealed plans to attend Swift’s concert, rocked a blue long-sleeved shirt and aviator sunglasses.

The four-time league MVP was seen dancing and smiling throughout the night in videos shared by several fans on Twitter.

Los Angeles Chargers defensive end Sebastian Joseph-Day praised Rodgers’ move in a tweet from Franklin-Myers.

“Yeah, why my friend dances better than you,” Joseph-Day wrote, adding that he “found a rhythm” with a few cry-laugh emojis.

Franklin Myers replied, “No lie. I’m taking dance lessons next year.”

Rogers told Adam Schein on SiriusXM’s Mad Dog Sports Radio that he plans to see one of Swift’s three shows in East Rutherford, New Jersey, on Wednesday, adding that he’s a “huge fan” of the 12-time Grammy winner.

Rogers said Swift’s favorite album is “Folklore” — the artist’s eighth studio album, which was released in July 2020.

“My favorite song from that album is probably ‘August’, and my favorite music video is ‘I Bet You Think About Me’ which came out recently, a year or so ago – and two of my friends, Miles Teller and his wife, are in it. … I love that music video,” Rogers told Shayne.

Rodgers seems to be enjoying his time in the spotlight since the Jets officially acquired him in a trade with the Packers last month, just days before the 2023 NFL Draft.

The quarterback has been spotted across the Hudson River in New York City and Hoboken.

Rodgers, along with some of his new teammates, attended Rangers and Kicks games, as well as celebrity guests including Carbone – Major Food Group’s A-lister Italian restaurant.

He also reunited with a group of former Packers teammates at the Kentucky Derby on May 6, including Raiders star receiver Davante Adams.

Many of Rodgers’ Jets teammates — including his former Packers teammates who joined him in New York — expressed how happy the quarterback is at the change of scenery.

“His brother just showed up to work, and he’s happy now,” Jets offensive tackle Billy Turner — who spent three seasons with Rodgers in Green Bay — said, according to Fox News.

“It’s great to witness and see because it doesn’t matter how long you’ve been in this profession, it’s the kind of profession where you can always experience something new no matter how long you’ve been in it. And he’s experiencing something new for the first time in his career, and it’s cool to be a part of and watch.”
