Taylor Swift’s popularity is second to none. When she started showing up at NFL games, fans went crazy. Swifties held boards with her photos. Pop star’s cute moments from the stands made a social media frenzy. Her romance with Travis Kelce made headlines, pulling everyone into the NFL world. The impact on the league has been monumental. But not everyone’s liking it.

An NFL player, on condition of anonymity, recently talked about the pop star with The Athletic and said, “I feel like she’s getting unnecessary coverage. There was the whole NFL season opening video on Twitter and she was featured five times and our quarterback was featured none. That’s not even right. She is not the NFL.” But he was one of those 5 players who called her influence ‘negative.’

102 players were asked. 74 were positive while 23 were in the middle. Most agreed that the billionaire has brought more attention to the league. It helps to generate business and helps mint more money. But a few cautioned against over usage of swift brand. They claimed that Travis Kelce’s girlfriend is shown 6-7 times during a NFL game which sometimes gets over the top.

Some athletes were totally chill. They didn’t care if she was going to the stadiums or not. One player who liked her music, said, “I’ll jam to some Taylor Swift, but I don’t give a s— if she’s at the game or not.” Despite mixed reviews, her impact can’t be ignored. Swiftises throng to the stadiums for a glimpse.
