NFL fans to Taylor Swift: “This is football, not music.” They added ” Go and face your Eras Tour.”

Taylor Swift dominates a new promo for the 2024 NFL season ahead of this week’s opening round of games – leaving football fans absolutely furious.

Die-hard followers of the sport were not best pleased with the level of media coverage afforded to Swift when she attended boyfriend Travis Kelce’s games for the Kansas City Chiefs last season.

And a few days out from the opening night of the 2024 season – when defending Super Bowl champions Kansas City host the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday – the NFL has already sparked outrage for showing the pop megastar more than anyone else in its new promo.

She is first seen celebrating next to Kelce’s mom Donna at Arrowhead in two separate clips for September, before January includes her arriving at a game while wearing a custom-made ‘Kelce 87’ Chiefs jacket.

January also shows Taylor sharing a kiss with Travis on the field after Kansas City’s AFC Championship victory in Baltimore, while a clip of her chugging a beer on the big screen at last season’s Super Bowl features in February.

Meanwhile, star quarterback Brock Purdy, who inspired the San Francisco 49ers to a Super Bowl appearance last year, and Cincinnati Bengals counterpart Joe Burrow fail to earn a single appearance in the video.

Other high-profile players who did not feature in the promo include quarterbacks CJ Stroud (Houston Texans), Matthew Stafford (LA Rams) and Jordan Love (Green Bay Packers).

NFL fans are furious with the amount of times Swift popped up in the promo, taking to X to vent their frustrations.
One wrote in astonishment: ‘Taylor Swift was shown 5 times in this 28 second clip of football being back.’

Another fumed: ‘STOP SHOWING TAYLOR SWIFT WE DONT CARE’.

A third posted: ‘saw taylor swift 5 times and didn’t even see my own team’.

A fourth commented: ‘lol I can be okay with Taylor Swift being in it once, but being the one individual with those most screen time for an NFL hype video is absurd’.

‘WHY ARE WE SHOWING TAYLOR SWIFT 5 TIMES I THOUGHT THIS WAS FOOTBALL?’ moaned another.

While one joked: ‘Taylor swift hype video’.

It remains to be seen whether Swift attends Kelce and the Chiefs’ first game of the season against the Ravens in Kansas City on Thursday night.

The songstress is not set to resume her international Eras Tour until she heads to Miami on October 18, meaning her schedule is free if she wants to support her man at Arrowhead.
