Taylor Swift’s popularity is second to none. When she started showing up at NFL games, fans went crazy. Swifties held boards with her photos. Pop star’s cute moments from the stands made a social media frenzy. Her romance with Travis Kelce made headlines, pulling everyone into the NFL world. The impact on the league has been monumental. But not everyone’s liking it.

An NFL player, on condition of anonymity, recently talked about the pop star with The Athletic and said, “I feel like she’s getting unnecessary coverage. There was the whole NFL season opening video on Twitter and she was featured five times and our quarterback was featured none. That’s not even right. She is not the NFL.” But he was one of those 5 players who called her influence ‘negative.’

The report comes out amid rumors that there is some tension between the NFL star and the pop star. These theories claim that this is the reason she isn’t attending NFL games anymore. But that’s not the case. Before we dive into that, let’s explore the interesting poll about her popularity.

102 players were asked. 74 were positive while 23 were in the middle. Most agreed that the billionaire has brought more attention to the league. It helps to generate business and helps mint more money. But a few cautioned against over-usage of the Swift brand. They claimed that Travis Kelce’s girlfriend is shown 6-7 times during an NFL game which sometimes gets over the top.

Some athletes were chill. They didn’t care if she was going to the stadiums or not. One player who liked her music, said, “I’ll jam to some Taylor Swift, but I don’t give a s— if she’s at the game or not.” Despite mixed reviews, her impact can’t be ignored. Swifties throng to the stadiums for a glimpse.

They have been missing her since the last two games. She has stayed away.

Travis Kelce misses his girlfriend during games

The first two Chiefs‘ games had full-on entertainment. Taylor Swift was present in the Arrowhead Stadium. But in week 3, they hit the road. And she was missing from the stands. Everyone was looking. Many wild theories came out. Some claimed that Patrick Mahomes hates Taylor Swift. The recent theory about their dead romance has also been debunked.

The air is clear now. The couple is still going strong. Next month, she resumes her Eras Tour in Miami on October 18. And Travis Kelce’s girlfriend is focusing on her work. But he’s missing her. Several fans posted his gloomy photos after the games, indicating how much he loves seeing her. His performance has not been up to the standard either.

In 4 games so far, Travis Kelce has made 15 receptions with 158 yards. And he’s still without a touchdown. But the team isn’t worried. They need him more during playoffs than the regular season. And such criticism of his girlfriend wouldn’t faze him. A veteran, he has been in the spotlight for a long.

Swifties are excited about something else. In the off-season, Taylor brought her boyfriend on stage. Will she do it again? Chiefdom is abuzz with the possibility.
