Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce may be one of the most controversial couples to break the news
in 2023. On July 8th, 2023, Kelce was first publicly seen at the eras tour. Kelce tried to hop on the trend of making friendship bracelets, but unfortunately found out she couldn’t talk before or after any of her shows in order to save her voice. Lucky for Taylor, that didn’t mean he would give up. After some unknown communication between the two stars, on September 24th, 2023, Taylor was first spotted at a Chiefs game. This was the moment that confirmed the rumors and got the media talking. The main question arose from the dads, brads, and chads; is Taylor Swift ruining the NFL? Their high profile relationship has definitely brought some new fans into the game, but at what cost? Football tends to attract die hard fans, maybe those who put it on for background noise, but how do you explain the teenage girls sitting wide eyed in front of the tv waiting for a pop star to make an appearance. Some say they’re tired of games revolving around Taylor, but it’s proven that out of the three hour broadcast, she is shown for an average of 25 seconds each week. But the real question is, are they over hated? Personally, the answer is yes.

Although celebrities are put in the spotlight when entering a new relationship, that doesn’t mean it’s always a bad thing. Apex marketing group calculated how much revenue Taylor Swift has brought to the NFL and the Kansas City based franchise the total amount was estimated to be near 331.5 million dollars. But it’s not only the NFL benefiting from her influence, according to Fanatics (an American sportswear company) they saw a 400% increase in sales with their Travis Kelce apparel after the first NFL game that Kelce attended. In the end, there’s no reason to be hateful towards a couple that you have never met.
