Is Taylor Swift taking over the NFL? As we should know the popular singer Taylor Swift is dating the Kansas City Chiefs player, Travis Kelce. She is often spotted at the Chiefs games alongside Travis Kelce’s parents in the box. Is Taylor Swift boosting the NFL or annoying the original football fans? The real debate is between the Swifties and the NFL fans.

First, there is no doubt that Taylor Swift being present at the Chiefs football games has caused more people to watch the game, research shows that there was an increase of an insane 53%. The young Swifties and fans are watching the game, potentially causing a new generation of NFL fans to be hooked by Taylor Swift. Further, this growth in viewership caused the NFL to gain 20%  more sponsors in 2023-2024.

Now let’s hear about the downsides to Taylor Swift being so popular in the NFL. Taylor Swift, dating Travis Kelce, should have anticipated how much she would be on television as the NFL games are all live and recorded for anyone to view. This caused their relationship to become very public. Also, some football fans are considering the Taylor Swift fanbase to be “jarring” to their experience.

We held a poll, the question was “Should Taylor Swift be popularized further by the NFL? Here were the results: Out of the class, 6.667% said yes, and 93.333% said no.

Overall, there is a clear debate about the popular singer’s new appearance at the Chiefs games has upset many people, but has greatly pleased many as well. What do you think, does Taylor Swift deserve to be included in the media at the NFL?

    IMO, taylor swift is not ruining the nfl. it’s not her fault that they put camera’s on her every time she attends a game. she is just here to support her boyfriend. i do hate when, as a swiftie, people make fun of us for being swifties. “oh but she has had so many boyfriends” same with your favorite athletes. and i bet half the athletes you know have cheated on their partner. just as a way you think sports are inspirational, we think swift is.
