After Receiving Backlashes From The Football Fans, NFL Removed Taylor Swift References Pictures
Even though the NFL is one of the most lucrative businesses in the world on its own, Taylor Swift’s arrival on the scene has given the league a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
The NFL has done all possible to capitalize on the incomparable chance presented by the reports of her relationship with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and attract new viewers.
Swift made a clear allusion to the fact that Kansas City has won both games she has attended as Kelce’s partner when the NFL’s official Instagram account updated their bio following the Chiefs’ victory against the New York Jets to “Chiefs are 2-0 as Swifties” after the victory.

Regarding the excess of Taylor Swift content, one person said, “At some point, this is just a little ridiculous.”
These supporters believed that the interpersonal interactions off the field were becoming even more significant than the actual games.

Following negative feedback on social media, the NFL removed Taylor Swift’s mention from Instagram, as well as her cover photo on the league’s X (Formerly Twitter) account and another mention in the bio section.
There is no denying the Taylor Swift impact.
The Chiefs vs. Jets game last week, which drew 24.3 million viewers, was the most-watched television program in the whole United States, demonstrating how much the NFL is profiting from Swift’s reputation.
Additionally, according to Forbes, as word spread that she would be in the box, the average ticket price for the game increased by 40%.
Kelce has also benefited greatly. Sales of his jersey have increased by 400% after the singer’s relationship with him was made public, placing him among the top five best sellers. He has also garnered about 383,000 Instagram followers.
