Taylor Swift Effect Leaves, As this power-couple love story evolves and “Sparks Fly” between her and brave star tight end Travis Kelce, and the world waits impatiently for her to fly in for Super Bowl LVIII on Sunday night, the Chiefs embrace her and the impact she has already had in their life and for the NFL.
Taylor Swift Effect Leaves Profound Impact on the Chiefs, New Fans
What’s their message to the anti-Swifties? Let the haters hate. “It seems that the more successful we are, the more haters appear,” said assistant head coach and special teams coordinator Dave Toub.
“We speak about how we’re like the new Patriots, and they’d like to see a different squad in there periodically. But that’s okay. “We like where we are right now.” LB Willie Gay Jr.
“They know they love Taylor Swift, they just hate she’s on our side.” Perfect match. If any of the Chiefs are distracted by The Taylor Swift Effect, they “Shake It Off” effortlessly. “It’s not a distraction,” Gay explained. “It’s merely a distraction for folks who dislike us. “They don’t like the fact that we got it going over here, man.”
LG Nick Allegtetti: “Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. She’s not going to the games expecting to be aired 15 times. I believe she has been shown plenty in public, so she is not going there hunting for it; she is simply a very big character in the world of entertainment. Travis is also an important person in football. I have no issues with it.”
Allegretti, a 27-year-old LG from the Chicago area, has twin daughters Olivia Grave and Elyse Joy, who turn one on Monday: “I recently became a father of two daughters, so whether she continues to make music or not, her music will undoubtedly be around, and I’m confident they’ll listen to it.
So it’ll be interesting to discuss how football and Taylor Swift intersected for however long a period. Could take a long time.”
Long-snapping Oklahoman James Winchester, 34, has a four-year-old daughter.
“I will happily let my daughter be a Taylor Swift fan. I think she’s an excellent role model for many children and adults. You can see how significant her impact is. I am all for it. “I am a fan.”
LB Willie Gay Jr. of Mississippi turns 26 on Thursday. “My niece likes her. My niece is truly listening to her. The strange thing is, that you grew up listening to a lot of Taylor Swift without even realizing it. Then you get older and realize, ‘Oh, that’s her singing that song.’ I’m a fan now. I’m Swifty, dawg.”
The population of Mahopac, NY is 61. He has a daughter who is 22 years old. “People are happy about it, and we are excited about it; it attracts a large number of people to the games. My mother talks about it. She goes, ‘I saw Taylor!’ she says. She sees her on television. It is a cool thing.”
Joe Cullen, the defensive line coach at Massachusetts, is 46 years old. He has daughters aged eight, six, and four. “My daughters were all invited to a birthday celebration, and I think there was a Taylor Swift movie.
As I dropped them off, my 6-year-old asked if I had Travis Kelce’s mobile number. I said, ‘Yes, why?’ She asked, ‘Can you phone Travis and ask him if he and Taylor could come to the movie theater because I heard she was in town?’ I died laughing. I adore her music, too. “I am a big fan.”
RG Trey Smith is 24. “My sister said, ‘Can I meet her?’ Blah, blah. And my friends back home — I’m near Nashville so… some of my buddies’ ladies are so jealous of me for being able to be around her.” ‘Great for the NFL.’ Kelce introduced several Chiefs players to Taylor.
“A genuinely sweet person, very nice, very kind, took the time to talk to people, was not stuck up or pompous in any way at all,” he said. Allegretti spent one night chatting with Kelce while his wife hung out with Ms. Swift.
“Super genuine,” he said. “Very down to earth in general, but for me, perhaps the most famous person in the world, one of them — I’m not familiar with that realm. When I initially met her, I felt like she had compliments for everyone. She informed my wife that she compared her to an actress.
If Kelce is happy, they will tell you so. “We love to shine a light on others, shine a light around the people that help and support us,” he said, “and on top of that, I feel like we both have just a love for life.”
According to Front Office Sports, the pop icon has already created a comparable brand value of $330 million for the Chiefs and the NFL, as reported by Apex Marketing Group.
“I think it’s been great for the NFL,” safety Justin Reid stated. “I believe that in some ways, it has brought some families together – dads talk about their daughters who are asking questions about football, and now they can get them engaged. I believe it’s been fantastic for the game.”
