Chiefs owner Clark Hunt heaps praise on Taylor Swift for her influence in the NFL

Since Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift started dating in 2023, the number of female viewership in the NFL has increased because of the pop icon's massive fan following, which has also thrusted the Kansas City Chiefs into a new spotlight.

On Thursday, team owner Clark Hunt talked about the pop icon's influence while highlighting her relationship with the franchise:

"I have people come up to me all the time and say, 'Thank You.' I'm like, 'Thank You for What?' And they tell me, 'Thank you because my 10-year-old daughter now insists on watching NFL football with me. Of course, that's largely because of Taylor Swift.

"If you've ever seen any of those shots of her sitting in the box cheering on the team, when we make a big play, she's as excited as anybody in the stadium. It's great to have her support, for sure."

Swift's announcement about her new album has created a frenzy on social media. It also resulted in her 2014 hit song Blank Space jumping 59 spots to 98th position in this week's Global Spotify Charts.
