The world’s most famous couple has received the NFL commissioner’s seal of approval. Roger Goodell, who has served as commissioner since 2006, appeared on CBS Mornings before the NFL Thanksgiving games and discussed the superstar pairing of singer Taylor Swift and the Kansas City tight end Chiefs Travis Kelce.
Goodell expressed his support for the couple, saying, “Listen, they’re happy. They seem to enjoy their relationship. That’s great in itself, but it’s connected more Taylor fans and more NFL fans somehow “. He added: “Swift is an amazing artist, Travis is obviously an amazing player and I think it’s great that the league is getting that kind of attention, so we welcome it.”
The statistics back up Goodell’s claim. An October matchup between the Chiefs and the New York Jets attended by Swift resulted in the NFL’s highest viewing figures since February’s Super Bowl, peaking at 29 million viewers.
Travis Kelce recently spoke out about the media attention surrounding his relationship with Swift, saying the NFL is “going a little overboard” on social media. However, the NFL defended its coverage of the Swift-Kelce narrative, saying it was “a pop culture moment that we’ve leaned on in real time because it’s an intersection of sports and entertainment, and we seen an incredible amount of positivity around the sport.”
Kelce recently appeared in the new issue of WSJ magazine and said of Swift, “Obviously, I’ve never dated anyone with that kind of aura about them….I’ve never dealt with it. But at the same time , he doesn’t run away from anything… The scrutiny he gets, how much he has a magnifying glass on him, every day, paparazzi outside his house, outside every restaurant he goes to, after every flight he gets off, and he’s just living, enjoying life,” Kelce said. publication “When she acts like that, I better not be the one acting weird.”
This is the first time the professional soccer player has gone public with the fact that he and Swift are dating. Kelce and Kansas City, who have a 7-3 record heading into Week 12 of the NFL regular season, will face the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium.
