Dressed in a black skirt, red top, and jacket, Taylor Swift landed at the Arrowhead Stadium for the Christmas Day game between Kansas City Chiefs and Las Vegas Raiders. As she cheered along from the VIP stands alongside her parents as Travis Kelce scored his 900th career catch, the NFL secretly basked in its glory. A DailyMail report stated that the match went on to break the best Christmas Day viewership record since 1989.
Drawing in a whopping 29 million viewers on CBS and Nickelodeon, the match saw a 29% increase in viewership from last year’s Christmas game. Additionally, the coincidental numbers came almost single-handedly from Swift’s presence in the stadium. Moreover, in October this year, this very romance clocked in an average of 27 million viewers during the Chiefs-Jets game, making it the highest-viewed Sunday NFL game since the Super Bowl.
The remarkable aura of the Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce romance also played its part in the match commentary despite it ending on a bad note for the couple.
