Taylor Swift fans are a force. Example: during the crooner's recent stadium tour, the audience was so raucous they registered on the Richter scale. The NFL sensed a similar seismic event when Tay Tay showed up at a Kansas City Chiefs game, sitting in a private box with Travis Kelce's Mom and cheering as Travis made clutch plays. At the time, the NFL, the most popular sports league in the United States, boasted 11.7 million followers on TikTok. Swift's account's nearly 21.6 million was nearly double, so the Venn diagram suggests an opportunity to expose the league to millions of current non-fans.
