In the last year, Taylor Swift has proved time and time again that her influence does not just pertain to the world of music. Ever since the singer made her way to Arrowhead stadium to watch her beau, Travis Kelce, play for the first time, the world has been hooked on them. Apart from Swifties losing their minds over the relationship, their reaction has also benefitted the NFL in all types of ways. From making more money for the sporting league to getting more views, the 34-year-old has done it all and now she might just kick it up a notch.
Taylor Swift’s impact on Super Bowl interest
After Taylor Swift’s first appearance at Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs match, the singer has driven NFL fans mad. While she only appeared on screen for 35-40 seconds throughout a match, some football fans felt as though she was taking attention away from the sport. However, once it was confirmed that the superstar and her athlete boyfriend would be present at the Super Bowl, the interest in the upcoming game skyrocketed according to data from Zeta Global.
The data showed that since Swift’s love for the NFL grew, even the interest Americans had in the game shifted. They found that fans’ interest in the match had gone up by 169% since January 2023. It also showed that more people had been paying attention to the game’s commercials, which has also gone up to 903% since the beginning of last year.
While more interest in the Super Bowl could mean more people will tune in to watch it, Swift might just end up breaking records with the number of views she could bring in.
