Taylor Swift might be walking into the Super Bowl week on Travis Kelce’s arm, but she might be walking out with George Kittle by the end of the game, according to David Carr.

“I’m glad Taylor Swift is out of the country. Because if she sees George Kittle, she might rethink the tight end that she chose,” Carr said.

The Swifties will have fun with this one — if they even know who George Kittle is. They might after the game, though. Kittle led the NFL in receiving yards by a tight end with 1,020 yards compared to Kelce’s 984.

We’ll see how much of a reaction this gets from the droves of Swifties that have a new-found love for the NFL, namely the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Super Bowl is scheduled for Feb. 11 and kickoff is set for 6:30 p.m. ET.

Roger Goodell opens up about Taylor Swift’s impact on the NFL

Taylor Swift’s impact on the NFL’s business this season has been undeniable, with her public relationship with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce serving as a catalyst to reach and create new fans. 

While her presence at Chiefs games and on NFL broadcasts may draw the ire of hardcore fans, the viewership numbers, as well as the dollars and cents, prove she’s a bona fide draw. With Swift expected to be in attendance for Super Bowl LVIII between the Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers this Sunday at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Swifties across the globe are gearing up for her appearance — even if it’s for a split-second. 

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, speaking with reporters in Las Vegas Monday, addressed the impact the pop music superstar has had on the league.

“Having the Taylor Swift effect is also positive,” Goodell said. “Both Travis and Taylor are wonderful young people, they seem very happy. She knows great entertainment, and I think that’s why she loves NFL football. I think it’s great to have her apart of it.

“Obviously, it creates a buzz [and invites] another group of young fans and young women who are interested in why she’s going to this game, why she is interested in this game. Besides Travis, she’s a football fan. And I think that’s great for us.”
