Just trying to get this offseason post in before the offseason is over!
The impact Taylor Swift has had on the NFL is undeniable. Apparently ratings went up a lot after she started dating Travis Kelce. Female viewership especially increased. The NFL started mentioning her on their official social media accounts. She was like rocket fuel to a money machine that was already headed to the moon.
