NFL fans fed up with 'Taylor Swift Effect' as singer all set to attend Travis Kelce's next game too
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Taylor Swift is reportedly set to attend the Kansas City Chiefs game against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium on Sunday night, October 1, as per a report by Michael McCarthy from Front Office Sports.
This marks the second consecutive week that Swift will be at a Chiefs game amidst ongoing rumors about her dating the All-Pro tight end, Travis Kelce. However, NFL fans seem to be getting weary of her presence at matches which they believe is 'gonna be a thing for a while"
The 'Taylor Swift Effect' on Travis Kelce and NFL
The pop icon and Kelce have been romantically linked for several weeks. Last weekend, Swift surprised sports enthusiasts and Swifties when she appeared at Arrowhead Stadium to witness the Chiefs' decisive victory over the Chicago Bears seated beside Kelce's mother, Donna.
She received continuous camera attention and celebrated enthusiastically when Kelce scored.
The duo was seen leaving the stadium together, driving off in a convertible. However, the pair are yet to officially confirm their relationship.
Nonetheless, their alleged romance has become a major talking point in the football world.
Even New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick, a noted Swift fan, commented on their connection, saying that it could be the most significant catch in Kelce's career.
Swift's presence at the game led to a nearly 400% increase in Kelce's jersey sales since Sunday. Furthermore, the game became the most-watched on Fox last weekend, attracting approximately 24 million viewers.
Travis Kelce says relationship with Taylor Swift will stay 'private'
The viewership numbers are particularly impressive considering the Chiefs had a commanding 34-0 lead at halftime.
Kelce provided some insight, albeit limited, about his relationship with Swift during a podcast with his brother, Jason Kelce, on Wednesday, September 27.
“What’s real is that it is my personal life,” Travis said. “I want to respect both of our lives. She’s not in the media as much as I am, doing this show every single week and and having fun on other guys shows like The [Pat] McAfee and any other show I go on from here on out.
"I’m enjoying life, and I sure as hell enjoyed this weekend. So everything moving forward, I think me talking about sports and saying ‘alright now’ will have to be kind of where I keep it.”
One thing that remains crystal clear, though, is that Swift continues to captivate the NFL world, especially if she attends the Sunday night game in New Jersey.
