The Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce saga continues to hold tight in the NFL world. While the 12-time Grammy winner was eager to watch more football action at MetLife Stadium, so were the people growing accustomed to Swift’s mega presence. The New York Jets and the Kansas City Chiefs faced off in a game on Sunday at 8:20 p.m. ET.

Taylor Swift’s rumored beau’s team had an outstanding start against the home team and eventually emerged victorious with a score of 23-20 on October 1. During the game, three highly notable events occurred that undoubtedly brought delight to all Chiefs fans. Among those, one major attraction was Taylor Swift and her celebrity friends, who not only attended the game on Sunday but also contributed to the NFL’s heightened popularity.

The NFL popularity is back after the Super Bowl LVII?

Ever since Taylor Swift’s name has been linked with TE Travis Kelce, fans have been eagerly awaiting any confirmation or updates from the duo. This anticipation is likely contributing to the resurgence of popularity for the NFL. According to a tweet by NFL reporter Joe Pompliano, the Chiefs vs. Jets game delivered significant numbers for the NFL.

He tweeted that the game had “27 million average viewers, with teen girl viewership up 53%, and it was the most watched Sunday show since Super Bowl LVII.” He further stated the comparison of these numbers with the NBA finals this year, which had a viewership of just 11.6 million on ABC.
