“Playing Everybody Like a Violin,” Stephen A. Smith Lauds Taylor Swift as a “Marketing Genius,” Comparing Her Visibility to That of a Divine Presence

The United States of America is known for many things. But in the world of the music industry, the name Taylor Swift has been shining like a star. With her amazing vocals, sparkly outfits, and a loving fan base, Swift has shaken the US economy in 2023. Following the Eras Tour, Swift is rumored to have forecasted gross ticket sales of $2.2 billion in North America alone. “Swiftonomics” as it is now called, has caused a stir in something else as well these days.

The developing saga between NFL player Travis Kelce and music sensation Taylor Swift started with one bracelet. But now the whole NFL industry is on its toes. Someone has a lot to say about it. That would be none other than the famous American TV host, Stephen A. Smith. Taking to his podcast, Smith has quite some inputs to share about Taylor Swift and her presence at the stadium.

Stephen A. Smith on Swift’s Marketing Brilliance

If Taylor Swift was seen at the MetLife Stadium on Sunday, October 2, Stephen A. Smith has a podcast ready to discuss the event. On “The Stephen A. Smith Show,” the host was quite complimentary of Taylor Swift. The show, which premiers three times a week, highlighted Swift’s presence at the NFL match between the Kansas City Chiefs and the New York Jets.

Admitting to the singer’s influence, Smith said, “She’s proven to be along the way, not just an incredible performer, musician, artist, but she’s also a marketing genius. I mean, when we’re gonna stop acting like we don’t know what this is all about? Taylor Swift is playing everybody like a violin.” Smith also corrected himself by saying, “I’m not saying that disrespectfully, I’m not saying that to malign her, I’m saying that because damn it, I’m jealous, I am jealous of Taylor Swift!”

But that was not all. Appreciating her talent and creativity, Smith compared the 33-year-old singer to a divine presence. “Now she is appearing in NFL games, damn it! She is seen everywhere. There are two people that see it everywhere you go: Taylor Swift and Jesus Christ. That’s about it. I mean, talk about being omnipotent. That is her.” But this is not the only time Smith has shared his input about Swift’s presence at the NFL match.
