During his appearance at 4SE, Strahan talked about the impact Swift has had on the league.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSports have leaked into pop culture,\u201d Michael Strahan said,\u00a0per the\u00a0<em>Sports Business Journal<\/em><em>.<\/em>\u00a0\u201cTaylor Swift is one of the best things to happen in the NFL.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Swift became part of the NFL when she began dating Travis Kelce in the summer of 2023. She has appeared at multiple NFL games in the last two seasons, including the last two Super Bowls.<\/p>\n<p>Strahan isn\u2019t the only notable NFL figure to praise Swift. In January 2024, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell talked about Swift\u2019s association with the league. \u201cHaving the \u2018Taylor Swift effect\u2019 is also a positive,\u201d Goodell said,\u00a0per Fox Sports.\u00a0\u201cBoth Travis and Taylor are wonderful young people, and they seem very happy. She knows great entertainment, and I think that\u2019s why she loves NFL football.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Taylor Swift talks about her relationship with Travis Kelce<\/h2>\n<p>Goodell added \u201cI think it\u2019s great to have her a part of it. Obviously, it creates a buzz. It creates another group of young fans, particularly young women, that are interested in seeing why she is going to this game, why she is interested in this game. Besides [her relationship with] Travis, she is a football fan, and I think that\u2019s great for us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Swift hasn\u2019t publicly said much about her relationship with Travis Kelce, besides her\u00a0interview with\u00a0<em>Time Magazine\u00a0<\/em>in December 2023.\u00a0During the interview, Swift talked about how the relationship with the three-time Super Bowl champion began.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was meta as hell,\u201d she said. \u201cWe started hanging out right after that. So we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I\u2019m grateful for, because we got to know each other. By the time I sent to that first game, we were a couple.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When it was pointed out that it was big for the NFL to have Swift fans watching the NFL because of her, Taylor Swift said, \u201cFootball is awesome, as it turns out. I\u2019ve been missing out my whole life.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michael Strahan understands how big it is to have Taylor Swift dating Chiefs tight end\u00a0Travis Kelce.
