The budding romantic relationship between Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift has turned the NFL into a pop culture media circus since the pop superstar first attended the Kansas City Chiefs versus Chicago Bears game at Arrowhead Stadium two weeks ago.
During the Chiefs versus Jets “Sunday Night Football” broadcast, NBC cut away to Taylor Swift 17 times and showed two commercials for her new movie!
That Chiefs-Jets game drew 27 million viewers, making it the most-watched Sunday broadcast since Super Bowl LVII in February, while NBC drew about 2 million more female viewers than its season average so far for “Saturday Night Football.”
Oh Taylor, what are we to do with you?
