The Kansas City Chiefs are on top of the NFL world in more ways than one. Of course, they are the back-to-back Super Bowl Champions, the first team to repeat since Tom Brady and the New England Patriots 20 years ago. Going into 2024, they are looking to become just the second franchise ever to win three NFL Championships in a row. The Green Bay Packers have done it twice (1929-31 and 1965-67).
This past season, in particular, the Chiefs saw their popularity around the globe explode. The AFC Championship they played against the Baltimore Ravens drew in 55 million viewers, the most in NFL history for that particular game. Super Bowl LVIII against the San Francisco 49ers had a reported 210 million viewers, also the most in NFL history.
The Kansas City Chiefs Benefited from Travis Kelce Dating Taylor Swift
Nine-time Pro Bowl tight end Travis Kelce and 14-time Grammy Award winner Taylor Swift went public with their relationship in September of 2023. Swift was a frequent attendee at Chiefs games, and her presence on camera or in the conversation of play-by-play callers was the source of consternation for, shall we say, more conservative football fans.
However, Swift’s relationship with Kelce also had a beneficial effect on the Chiefs, and on the NFL as a whole. Kelce saw his jersey rank among the top-10 sold by NFLshop.com for much of the season, and the NFL raked in more than $331 million in revenue thanks to the extra attention Swift brought to the game.
Kansas City Chiefs Star Travis Kelce Has Been Busy Since the Super Bowl
Dating the most famous pop artist in the world must be a whirlwind. While many of the Chiefs players have been able to go about their offseasons in relative peace, Kelce’s every move is being tracked. Following the Super Bowl, he traveled to Sydney, Australia where Swift was performing as part of her Eras Tour.
After a few days in Sydney, Kelce returned to Las Vegas where he attended more Super Bowl celebrations and a friend’s bachelor party. From there, he went to Philadelphia where he took part in a cancer research fundraiser and supported his brother, Jason Kelce, as he announced his retirement from the NFL.
The Kelce brothers then went to their hometown, Cleveland Heights, Ohio, and were honored at the Cleveland Cavaliers game. From there, Travis flew to Singapore, where he is joining Swift for the finale of her shows in Asia.
Taylor Swift Eliminated a Line from Her Song “Fifteen” as a Nod to Her Relationship with Travis Kelce
One of Swift’s best-known songs is “Fifteen.” In that particular song, the lyrics say, in part:
“Well, in your life you’ll do things
Greater than dating the boy on the football team I didn’t know it at fifteen”
According to one fan, Swift has recently omitted the line “great things than dating the boy on the football team” from the song:
Taylor Alison Swift sang fifteen but didn’t sing the line in fifteen that states and you’ll do greater things than dating the boy on the football team I didn’t know it at fifteen. Take that information as you will.

It will be interesting to see if any other song lyrics are changed as a result of this relationship.
