Week 1 is finally here.
After a long spring and summer without any NFL games, two teams will take the field on Thursday night to kick off the 2024 season. And of course, one of those teams is the Kansas City Chiefs.
At this point, it is also known as Taylor Swift's team.
And because of that, the NFL had to include her in their hype video, which was released on social media on Monday.
Swift was shown five times in the video, while some very popular players weren't shown at all.
It really is just Taylor's world and we're all just living in it.
Patrick Mahomes discusses Taylor Swift's transformation from casual fan to football aficionado
"You know how to ball, I know Aristotle"
That is a line from Taylor Swift's hit song, 'So High School' from her album, The Tortured Poets Department, and is about her relationship with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
However, it seems Kelce isn't the only one who "knows how to ball" anymore.
Swift has picked up a few things after attending numerous games during the 2023 season to cheer on Kelce. And many other women and girls have also become football fans due to the singer's influence.
In an interview with NBC's Chris Simms, Mahomes talked about the Taylor Swift Effect.
"I think it's been cool to see the girls and the women that have really embraced watching football," Mahomes said. "I know being a girl dad, how cool it is for me to see like these little girls — these daughters — and how much they're loving to spend time with their dad, watching football. And then meeting Taylor, realizing how genuine and cool she is. I think that's been special to me because she's, like you said, the most famous person in the world, she could not be (genuine).
And after spending so much time in suites watching the games last year, it seems Swift is ready to take on a new role.
"And she's really interested in football, and she asks a lot of great questions. Started drawing up plays. We might have to put one in."
Andy Reid might have to add her to the coaching staff soon!
Comedian Adam Sandler gives Travis Kelce the ultimate stamp of approval on his relationship with Taylor Swift
Adam Sandler is a major Swiftie.
And he's a fan of Travis Kelce.
So the relationship between the Kansas City Chiefs tight end and Taylor Swift was a topic during his guest appearance on the New Heights podcast, which premiered on Wednesday.
“By the way what a girl. What a girl,” Sandler said.
And Travis had to agree.
“You know it. You know it. Best performer out here," Travis responded.
But the comedian didn't stop there.
"She means so much to our house. The kids were little and we were listening to Taylor Swift—it was one of the first times that you listen to every song on the record. When I was a kid, The Beatles you did that with, maybe Elton John. Every tune. They knew every word."
“I love listening to her in the car,” he added. “I love what she has to say. Every message. Every melody. The production. What she meant to young girls, what she means to women, what she means to guys doing the right thing in life.”
While her songs are incredible, Sandler has had the opportunity to see the singer a few times. And it's the person that she is that truly stood out to him.
Whether it was at Saturday Night Live or at a movie premiere, Swift would take the time to speak with his children whenever she saw them. Most recently, it was at the premiere of her Eras Tour movie, and Sandler remembers the singer being very complimentary of his daughters' movie, “You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah.”
“She just floors my family,” he said. “Floors them!”
For a guy like Sandler, whose movies feature some of the craziest plot lines and conversations, you would think he wouldn't get nervous. But when it comes to Swift, all bets are off.
"Someone asked me who I get nervous around, and I said, 'I do get nervous around Taylor Swift because I don't want to f***ing blow it for my kids and say something stupid,'" he said with a smile.
So what's his true take on the relationship between Travis and Swift?
“You being together,” Sandler said. “That photo of when you first started dating, my family was like, ‘Yes! Look how good they are together! He’s a gentleman! And she’s having so much fun with him!’ Any time Taylor is laughing with you, my whole f–kin’ family is high fiving.”
He had Travis blushing.
“You’ve got me sweating, man,” the tight end said.
