 When it comes to fan bases, Swift was in an arena unfamiliar to her usual music platforms. In the world of sports and especially the NFL, Swift’s presence has created an unprecedented stir. A recent statistic released by Sportico showed that the singer gained over 105,000 followers after the Super Bowl, while Patrick Mahomes gained 41,000, followed by Kelce gaining 61,000. This is especially startling considering how popular the two leading stars of Kansas City are in the football-watching audience. 

Celebrities are often seen supporting their favorite football teams, but none draw the attention the pop star has in the short span of her appearances in games. It might be due to her massive popularity as a Grammy-winning pop singer or her adorable relationship with the tight-end Kelce. But a major part of it definitely seems to be her unwavering support for her boyfriend’s team. The singer is consistently seen cheering the team on from the stands, which must’ve melted the hearts of many Chiefs’ fans.
