Taylor Swift is gearing up to make an appearance at the Chiefs-Jets ‘Sunday Night Football’ showdown at MetLife Stadium, according to Michael McCarthy of FrontOfficeSports.
Swift seems to be doubling down on her support for rumored boyfriend, Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce, as this would mark her second consecutive week cheering him on in person.
The chances of catching Swift on camera has the potential to be a real ratings bonanza for NBC Sports’ “Sunday Night Football.” Plus, with fans anticipating a live glimpse of the superstar, we can expect ticket prices to soar.
Swift appearance in last week’s Bears blowout game boosted FOX’s viewership to an impressive 24.3 million as the Chiefs’ dominant 41-10 on Sunday. It was the most-watched NFL game on any network during Week 3.
The impact of “Swifties” hopping aboard the NFL bandwagon over the past week didn’t go unnoticed, the following happened according to FrontOfficeSports:
* Fanatics saw an astounding 400% surge in Kelce jersey sales, catapulting him into the top 5 sellers in the league.
* Kelce’s Instagram following skyrocketed by a staggering 383,000 followers.
* Kelce’s podcast with his brother Jason, “New Heights,” has climbed to the No. 1 spot on the Apple charts.
* There has been a threefold increase in searches for Chiefs tickets on StubHub.
