In the past two weeks, we’ve seen celebrity Taylor Swift sitting in a box suite at a Kansas City Chiefs’ football game with NFL tight end Travis Kelces’s family. They’ve left games together and he’s spoken about her on podcasts. Even though they haven’t confirmed or denied the rumors of them dating, people still care. Let’s take a look at the impact they’ve had on the world.
To fully understand the magnitude of the situation we need to take a closer look at the background of these two stars. Taylor Swift is not only one of the most successful women in the world of music, but she’s had her fair share of intimate relationships with other well known celebrities. The familiar scenes and pictures painted by her poetic lyrics, often about former boyfriends, draw in an overwhelming amount of dedicated fans, many who deeply care about her love life. Swift has dated such a wide variety of celebrities, but every one seems to end in a break up, the last thing the fans want is another.
Travis Kelce may go down as one of the greatest tight ends in NFL history. He’s changing the way the tight end position is played. He’s been an essential part of the Chiefs offense and fantasy football teams year in and year out, the question now is will his game be affected by his relationship? With more eyes on him, is he feeling pressure to perform at a higher level? And especially to not upset “swifties”. Regardless of how they feel or whether they know it or not, they’re taking the world by storm.
Kelce’s jersey sales have increased by 400%, NFL ratings have seen immense increase, and more stars than usual have made appearances at games. Nearly every sports media outlet has them on their front cover and even Kelce feels they may be over broadcasting it. While in an interview Kelce exclaimed “They are overdoing it a bit for sure, especially my situation”. They’ve covered so much that people have missed other news in the world of celebrities. Just a few days before Kelce and Swift blew up. Pete Davidson and “Outer Banks” star Madeline Clyne went public. Davidson’s previous relationships with Ariana Grande, Kim Kardashian and Emily Ratajkowski had always been the most important pop-culture head line, but not anymore.
There’s no doubt that this is one of the most popular couples at the moment, and it probably will be for a while. The most important thing is that whatever happens between these two either works out or ends cleanly. The conflict between “swifties” and NFL fans would certainly be long and overwhelming and we could absolutely expect a song about Kelce. But until then, we’ll have to continue seeing them everywhere.
