The 'Lover' singer turned heads in a black lace dress paired with boots, while Kelce kept things casual in a gray tracksuit and sneakers. Patrick matched the relaxed vibe with denim pants, a jacket, and a backward hat, while Brittany showed off her Chiefs pride in a red coat styled with an updo.
Brittany and Patrick, who welcomed their third child, Golden Raye, in January are soaking up the excitement ahead of the big game.
The star quarterback confirmed during a press conference that their newborn daughter will attend the Super Bowl at Caesars Superdome.
This marks the second consecutive Super Bowl Swift will attend in support of Kelce. Last year, she watched from a VIP suite in Las Vegas as the Chiefs secured a 25-22 victory over the San Francisco 49ers, surrounded by close friends like Blake Lively.
Taylor Swift's relationship with Travis Kelce brings over $1 billion in brand value to the NFL
Taylor Swift’s romance with Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce has done more than make headlines. It has significantly boosted the NFL’s financial standing. Since the couple’s relationship became public in September 2023, Swift’s presence at games has driven unprecedented media attention and revenue for the league.
According to MarketWatch, the pop star's association with the NFL generated an estimated $366.7 million in brand value between September 2023 and January 2024, as reported by Unilad. Her attendance at games has attracted not just sports enthusiasts but also entertainment media, expanding the league’s reach beyond its traditional audience.
Eric Smallwood, president of Apex Marketing Group, explained, "The ‘Swift Effect’ and the corresponding media exposure continued for the NFL and the Chiefs before the start of the 2024 NFL season."
He noted, "The media blitz continued as the Chiefs kept winning games and were featured on national broadcasts, leading into the playoffs and now the Super Bowl."
The financial impact didn’t stop at the initial estimate. From the day after the AFC Championship through January 27, Swift’s brand value contribution to the NFL was projected to reach $634.3 million, pushing the total past an astounding $1 billion.
