The Kansas City Chiefs , fresh from their championship victory, are set to open the NFL season on Thursday night against Jackson's Baltimore Ravens, setting the stage for a 2023 AFC Championship game rematch.
Swift is expected to be at Arrowhead Stadium, cheering on her beau, Kelce, and his Chiefs teammates. At 34, her romance with Kelce has captivated the American football world , dominating headlines, which was made abundantly clear as the NFL dropped a promotional video for Thursday's match-up.
In the video, Swift appeared no less than five times, while Jackson, the esteemed 2023 MVP, only made a single appearance. "How are people trying to argue with you about this? There should've been more Lamar period," one fan expressed on X.
"STOP SHOWING TAYLOR SWIFT WE DON'T CARE," another vented on Twitter. "No CJ Stroud? The Offensive Rookie of the Year? But yall gonna show Travis Kelce's girl 5 times? Aight," another fan aired their frustration.
"Genuine question, why is Taylor Swift shown more times in this video than anyone in your actual league? " another questioned. It remains to be seen if Swift's dedication to understanding football and her regular presence at NFL games will sway public opinion in her favor.
Kelce and his Chiefs teammate Patrick Mahomes have expressed their appreciation for Swift's engagement with the sport. Mahomes shared, "I think it's been cool to see the girls and the women that have really embraced watching football," in reference to Swift.
He added: "I know being a girl dad, how cool it is for me to see like these little girls - these daughters - and how much they're loving to spend time with their dad, watching football. And then meeting Taylor, realizing how genuine and cool she is.
"I think that's been special to me because she's, like you said, the most famous person in the world, she could not be (genuine). And she's really interested in football, and she asks a lot of great questions. Started drawing up plays. We might have to put one in."
On The Rich Eisen Show, Kelce told host Rich Eise: "She has just been so open to learning the game. She didn't know much about the rules and everything.
"And I think what makes her so good in her profession is that she's so detailed in every aspect of it, from the words to the music to even the releases and the music videos and everything, she's so detailed and a part of it that I think she was just curious about the profession."
With a recent contract extension, Kelce remains an essential element of Kansas City's offense as the team aims for an unprecedented three-peat of Vince Lombardi trophies.
