Taylor Swift’s popularity is now crossing borders. While she still takes over stadiums with her stunning tours, the 34-year-old has also become a fixture in the NFL. The singer has received tons of backlash from disgruntled fans for her appearances at Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs Games. However, it looks like not just the team, but also the league has benefitted immensely from it.

While Swift wrapped up her year with $1.82 billion from ‘The Eras Tour’ and other music royalties, she has also racked up quite a nice sum for her beau, Kelce’s Chiefs, and the rest of the sporting league.

Fans might be torn over whether Taylor Swift’s appearances at Travis Kelce’s matches have been taking the spotlight away from the actual game. However, it seems to have been a good thing for the Kansas City Chiefs and the NFL. According to reports from the Apex Marketing Group, it was revealed that the 34-year-old has generated an equivalent brand value of $331.5 million for them through radio, television, and social media domination.

The new reports showed a significant increase since Swift was seen at Arrowhead Stadium in September. Back then, the pop sensation’s romance with the tight end brought in $166 million. While the couple’s relationship has resulted in financial benefits for both, it is not the only benefit the Kansas City Chiefs are reaping. Apart from having an increased brand value, the ‘Ours’ singer also brought in more supporters for the team, especially Kelce.
