The sports and entertainment world was buzzing on Sunday as music superstar Taylor Swift was at the Kansas City Chiefs game supporting Travis Kelce.
Kelce and Swift are presumed to be dating or in the dating phase of their relationship. Taylor was with Kelce’s mother, friends and family in a private suite at Arrowhead Stadium and the two were seen leaving the stadium together that evening.
Rich Eisen talked about it on The Rich Eisen Show on Monday. He found it interesting that the Swift story completely overshadowed the league announcing that Usher would be the halftime performer at the Super Bowl in February.
Eisen said the last thing the league employees tasked with putting together the Super Bowl halftime show together probably wanted was arguably the most popular musician in the world showing up at a game the same day you announce the halftime performer.
“The only group of people who were actually upset about this yesterday have to be those in the NFL front office who are in charge of making the announcement of who’s performing at the Super Bowl halftime show,” Eisen said. “Because Usher was announced yesterday, and that wasn’t even on anybody’s radar screen about big time musical performing acts and the NFL. It was all about what was going on in Arrowhead.”
“It’s even filtered into Bill Belichick’s world!” he added.
The Patriots coach was asked in his weekly appearance on WEEI on Monday about Kelce and Swift as a couple. Belichick has admitted he’s a Swiftie, and he said of Kelce that if he managed to date Taylor it would be his biggest catch yet.
