On February 11, the Kansas City Chiefs will face the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl. While much of the attention will be focused on the game, there is a group of fans who will divert their attention elsewhere.
This season, Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce began dating pop music icon Taylor Swift. As you can imagine, the amount of coverage has been enormous.
A Taylor Swift appearance at the Super Bowl remains a possibility. Legendary NFL producer Fred Gaudelli says Taylor’s attendance would be “a gift from the gods.”
NFL producer offers insight into production
Although some fans may be against Swift’s camera shots during the game, Gaudelli, who has produced seven Super Bowls, says she and other celebrities being in front of the camera are equally important.
“You have these shots set up because they are part of the story of the game and because there are five times more people (watching) than in a normal game. Right off the bat, you’re already thinking about who’s in the game,” she added.
“Now you have Taylor Swift, who is also someone who has a direct connection to the game because she is the partner of one of the stars of a team. You might not show her in every Kelce sequence, but she will be part of the sequences when he does a play.”
NBA legend slams Swift haters
Not everyone is excited about the coverage of Swift and Kelce’s relationship. Some soccer fans believe she is becoming a distraction from the game she is playing. If Taylor travels to Las Vegas next week, that coverage would increase even more.
NBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley recently criticized NFL fans who have shown their disdain for Swift.
“If you’re yelling at T-Swift saying she ruined [football], you’re just a loser. “You’re just a loser or an idiot…” Barkley said during a recent episode of his new show King and Charles. “You can be A or B. One of the two.”
Barkley’s co-host Gayle King also agreed, highlighting how Swift has diversified the NFL’s fan base.
“Look at all the new people he has brought to the NFL. You see teenage girls now watching football for the first time,” she said.
