It's not just Kansas City Chiefs fans who are riding high this season — the Swiftie fervor has taken hold of the NFL, all thanks to one Taylor Swift. The pop megastar's romance with Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is scoring more than just touchdowns; it's increasing the NFL's fan base and market value. San Diego native and die-hard Swift fan Brooke Morgan can barely contain her excitement every time Swift is spotted at a game. "It's more fun for me as a woman seeing her," Morgan said, acknowledging her preference for Swift's screen time over the usual gridiron intensity, as reported by KENS 5.
As if the Swift effect on fans wasn't enough, the Kelce family has felt a ripple effect as well. "Eyes on us every place we go," Ed Kelce, Travis’s father, revealed in an interview with The Fan radio station, as reported by MSN. From grocery store greetings to box seats at the Super Bowl offered by the Kansas commissioner, the Kelce clan is experiencing an unprecedented level of stardom, all tied to Swift's presence, proving that being related to a celebrity has its perks.
The culmination of this Swift-Kelcemania has led to fans dubbing this year's Super Bowl the "Swift Bowl," as excitement builds to see if Swift will be in attendance after her Tokyo performance. This also puts the spotlight on Travis Kelce and his Chiefs as they gear up to face the San Francisco 49ers in Vegas, with notably more than just the typical NFL fan base cheering them on. Airlines are getting in on the action, with flights named "1989" after Swift’s album — suggestive of just how deep the Swift effect runs. Whether she'll "Shake it Off" and make the big game, remains a tantalizing question for the Swifties and football fans alike.
