NFL Forced To Remove Taylor Swift From Social Media As Fans “Fed Up” With Her
The constant attention she receives from devoted followers are starting to wear them out.
Even though the NFL is already one of the most successful brands in the world, the arrival of pop sensation Taylor Swift has given the league an once-in-a-lifetime chance.
The league has done all possible to take advantage of the incomparable chance presented by the rumors of her connection with tight end Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs.
Swift made a clear allusion to the fact that Kansas City won both games she has attended as Kelce’s partner when the NFL’s official Instagram account updated their bio following the Chiefs’ victory against the New York Jets to “Chiefs are 2-0 as Swifties” after the victory.
The backlash against Taylor Swift
Fans voiced their disgust after seeing this and other references to Taylor Swift on the NFL’s social media sites.
One person commented on the excess of Taylor Swift stuff, saying, “At some point, this is just a little ridiculous.”
These supporters believed the interpersonal interactions took precedence over the actual games.
The NFL removed the mention of Taylor Swift from Instagram after receiving negative feedback on social media. They also took down her cover photo from the league’s X (Formerly Twitter) account and another mention from the bio area.
The impact of Taylor Swift cannot be denied
Swift’s reputation is benefiting the NFL a lot, since the Chiefs vs. Jets game last week had 24.3 million viewers, making it the most-viewed TV program in the whole country.
According to Forbes, the cost of a game ticket increased by 40% once it became known that she would be in the box.
Kelce has also profited greatly. Sales of his jersey have increased by 400% after the singer’s relationship with him was made public, placing him among the top five best sellers. He has also garnered over 383,000 Instagram followers.
