Pop superstar Taylor Swift made a whirlwind trip from Tokyo to Las Vegas, chartering a private jet to cheer on her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, in the Super Bowl on February 11th. This move sparked excitement not only among her dedicated fans, but also within the NFL community, where her presence has demonstrably boosted viewership and merchandise sales.

While some have criticized her appearances at games as self-serving, the data paints a different picture. Since she began supporting Kelce, viewership has surged, particularly among women and girls, a demographic traditionally underrepresented in the NFL. This trend coincides with a 400% increase in Kelce jersey sales and a half-million new Instagram followers for the athlete himself. Experts attribute this to Swift’s massive fanbase and her ability to bring new eyes to the sport.
