Zoe’s imagination went into overdrive, picturing Taylor Swift designing plays for the Chiefs or competing for a coordinator spot. And it’s not all just fantasy – Patrick Mahomes revealed that Travis Kelce‘s beau is picking up the game quickly and asking the right questions about plays. After all, if she can conquer the pop world, why not the football arena too?
Following up on her ideas, Zoe’s excitement reached new heights when she heard Patrick Mahomes drop hints about Taylor Swift shooting a music video for her upcoming album, She even speculated that Taylor might even “name-drop” Mahomes or the Chiefs in one of her songs! She hypothesized,
“I think that we’ll be getting a Patrick Mahomes name drop in Taylor’s future work, because I could see it. I could see her kind of, maybe not specifically Patrick but like football, Chiefs, Super Bowl, Championship, name-dropping, references. I could see that happening.”
Certainly, a Super Bowl reference in one of Taylor Swift’s songs would make waves, drawing attention far and wide. Taylor Swift’s influence paired with sports has been a palpable spectacle to witness, evident throughout the 2023 NFL season, and who can forget Super Bowl LVIII?
Taylor Swift’s Enormous Impact on Super Bowl LVIII
The Super Bowl showdown between the Chiefs and 49ers this year captivated a whopping 123.4 million viewers. Comparatively, last year’s clash between the Chiefs and Eagles drew 115.1 million viewers.
