Super Bowl LVIII...Taylor Swift et al

MrPants said:
As a football fan, the whole Taylor Swift thing doesn't bother me in the least. Just a bit of fluff adding some new interest for some in the viewing audience. But make no mistake; both the Chiefs & the NFL are laughing all the way to the bank because of the Swift/Kelse romance!

"Swift's relationship with Kelce and her appearances at Chiefs games has generated $331.5 million in equivalent brand value for the Chiefs and the NFL, according to an analysis the group shared with Quartz."

They sure are laughing all the way to the bank. It’s not harming anyone if new viewers watch the game, which leads to watching the commercials.

She doesn’t need him for the money or status.
 

No interest..
and will not be watching..(even though NFLer)
since my team isn't playing.

You got that right. The current going rate for an "average" ticket this year is $9,800.00. At that cost, I'm sure not going, let alone taking a date o_O:LOL::ROFLMAO:

A date...well save your money and take that date on a trip to Costa Rica, Mallorca, St. Barbs...so many places you can go with your date...providing she pass the 90-day and 6 months test. Then you can seal the deal...☺️ On the topic of the price of those tickets, it's all because of Kelce/Swiff. I've gone to many SB, but not playing the money game. I'll be watching from Costa Rica perhaps..

BINGO! The fans will go back home broke and they have broken an NFL financial record...

$10,000 to watch a game
That’s peanuts to billionaire Taylor Swift
She’s certainly not dating him for money
And he probably doesn’t mind the extra attention

Keep in mind the price has nothing to do with them per say, meaning they have already made their financial decree. The price is for the people "with no money" finding money just to say they went to the game.
 
One can hope there is excellence in ability. Taylor and Travis may end up owning the Chiefs.
Maybe Travis will go on to TV broadcasting. Maybe they marry and have kids. Who knows.
They got something now and for them hugs going out there.

While I am a die heart Eagle's fan and will continue to support the team, I find it interesting that we have yet another distraction...good or bad. What I find interesting is that people are hating on Swift or whatever reason that makes them comfortable by way of hate. In my humble opinion, whether people believe she is in an authentic relationship with Travis or a set up, why should people put all their energy into 2 people who cannot change the trajectory of our lives. Either we tune into SBLVIII if we are true footballers or find something useful to do with the time we have here on this earth. My penny sense...What are your thoughts.

It is the ultra right bitching about Taylor. What did you expect? If they're not bitching, they're not happy.

How could people with no money pay $10,000. That’s crazy.

Thats a positive post.
Taylor & Travis. The names sound catchy together. lol
 
I'm happy for the both of them and hope it's a real relationship - Lord knows they need something real to ground them in the carnival life they both lead. Sadly, often times, fame destroys you. Let's celebrate their connection, let's stop hate in all of it's evil incarnations.

I'm okay, your okay.

I am not familiar with Swift's music but that is no surprise as the music train left me behind ages ago. I have my favorites from various time periods but I can't think of any song by her. I actually tried to find some on YouTube but nothing sounded at all familiar or particularly appealing. I'm a weirdo that way.

But I will be watching the game since it is free on television. I live in 49er territory and will be happy for them to win. But whatever, either way it promises to be an interesting contest between two good teams and I find the Chief's quarterback particularly talented. More so than our Brock Purdy though he is doing awfully well for a Mr Irrelevant probably thanks to being on a very talented team with a good tactician head coach. But I'm not truly a fan. I will be happy to go back to not following football at all once the bandwagon loses my interest. Their last game against the Lions only make them more interesting. I stopped watching at half time only to be surprised later.

The best part of football is the strategy. The frequent concussions and the toll that takes in later life and on their wives sometimes is appalling. So long as no one actually gets hurt, I'll enjoy the game. Don't care about the commercials though.

Not interested in sports especially football but then I don't much like any sports except maybe watching some baseball. As for Taylor Swift...I think she is great, I love her music and I think she has a genuine relationship with that football player. What's his name again??

For however long her romances last.

Travis Kelce and man is he hot! Saw him being interviewed yesterday on Pat McAffee show on ESPN. What a pleasant, fun, jock of a guy. He discussed they are not madly serious, just enjoying their lives together. So humorous, smart, handsome! Pleasure to listen to.

Was watching this show, which is not on my normal list, due to grandson, age five & half, who lives for football.
 
I pay little attention to the either of them but he is different from many of the guys she has dated and I can see them being the couple that goes the distance. Hope they can ignore all the "noise" (and I think they can).
 
I'm not a sports fan...at all but all this fodder about Taylor and Travis is permeating the news. I even saw that her fans calculated that she could perform in Tokyo and still make the game. :) I do agree with your statement "why should people put all their energy into 2 people who cannot change the trajectory of our lives." And....

Wow, I'm a die hard Cowboys fan. I'm telling my co-workers that I'll be rooting for Taylor's favorite team. Once Dallas is out of the playoffs, I lose interest in football. That happens with most sports that I follow except for baseball. No matter what the Yankees do, I stll love and watch baseball.
 
All I can say about Taylor Swift and her boyfriend(?) is that I still have to get out of bed at 4 AM to go. So, ask me which I think is more important.
