Taylor Swift continues to have the time of her life at NFL games while cheering on Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. The pair’s relationship had an immediate effect on the NFL at large back in September, but as we approach the four-month mark, even more positive stories are continuing to surface about Swift’s impact on football fandom.
Just recently, Swifties took the news of Jason Kelce’s reported retirement just as hard as any Philadelphia Eagles fan, making tribute videos to honor the center’s great career. The Kelce brothers’ podcast New Heights has garnered a swell of popularity in recent months thanks to the pair’s earnest embracement of Swift fans, regardless of their level of football knowledge.

Across social media, many fans are recounting heartwarming stories about someone in their family’s newfound love for the NFL or how being a Swiftie directly contributed to their budding football fandom.
It seems as if the NFL is only getting more popular by the day and Swift is a big reason as to why.
Say whatever you want about Taylor Swift & the NFL.
My 12-year-old daughter just asked me to point out Jason Kelce & it spurred an entire conversation about why lineman have the numbers they do. I love her beyond words, but the kid never cares about football. That was cool.

My 9-year-old daughter couldn’t wait to watch Dolphins vs. Chiefs this past weekend because of Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce.
Then, she liked it so much that she wanted to watch the Sunday playoff games.
Taylor Swift is good for football & hasn’t ruined a thing about the NFL. https://t.co/0nDpd3XKvM

Taylor Swift introduced me to New Heights and now I actually took the time and wanted to learn how to watch football. She is introducing a whole new demographic to the NFL. The issue isn’t her, the issue are the old men pissed off that people will talk about her https://t.co/MLChtb9e1u

Nobody is saying you have to like it, or watch it. But there’s something wrong if you’re letting the Taylor Swift storyline annoy you. Think about how many more football conversations this might have started. Fathers & daughters, colleagues, siblings. That’s kinda cool to me. https://t.co/XCKN2qaXfM

Dear Tony Dungy,
Your comments about Taylor Swift are so out of line and wrong. I’m sitting here with my 14 year old daughter watching the game talking about her interest in Taylor and her cool jacket. My daughter knows so much more about football because of Taylor.— Bob Fescoe (@bobfescoe) January 15, 2024
