Impactful Girlfriend: Unimaginable
Taylor Swift has left an indelible mark on the NFL during the recently concluded season. By bringing together her loyal fanbase, affectionately known as Swifties, with the NFL community, she has introduced her music to a new audience.
However, some argue that her public image has been bolstered by her relationship with Travis Kelce, her boyfriend
Former NFL quarterback and current ESPN analyst Robert Griffin III discussed how the All-Pro tight end has made a difference for the “Bad Blood” singer:
“Taylor Swift has undoubtedly made a significant impact on the NFL this season by bringing her fans to watch the broadcast. But I also believe that the NFL and Travis have done monumental things for Taylor Swift as well. I think it’s humanized her even more.”
Swift has brought new eyes to the sport
Griffin highlighted that Swift chugging a beer on the jumbotron at Allegiant Stadium was a surprising moment from the pop superstar.
“I feel like chugging a beer on the jumbotron is not something you associate with the woman who’s singing “Sweeter than Fiction,” you know what I’m saying?” he said.
Swift has been Kelce’s No. 1 fan during the season, flying from Tokyo to Las Vegas to watch Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs in action.
Swift and Kelce hosted a Super Bowl afterparty in Vegas at the XS Nightclub that was one for the ages. Travis’ older brother, Philadelphia Eagles star Jason Kelce, donned a luchador mask and was the life of the party.
Travis took to the DJ booth with superstar DJ Marshmello and teammate Patrick Mahomes.
However, the couple had a romantic moment on the dancefloor together when her 2008 hit “Love Story” played during the afterparty. They even shared a kiss, as if just both of them were there. Other guests at the star-studded event included BFFs Brittany Mahomes and Blake Lively. Without question, Swift and Kelce’s “Love Story” has captivated the NFL with no end in sight.
