NFL commissioner Roger Goodell spoke about the so-called “Taylor Swift effect” in the league this year.
“It’s also a plus to have the ‘Taylor Swift effect,'” Goodell told reporters Monday via Fox Sports. “Both Travis and Taylor are great young men and seem very happy. She knows great entertainment, and I think that’s why she loves NFL football.”
Goodell also theorized that Swift’s presence at the game helped create an even bigger “buzz” in the league.

“I think it’s great for her to be at this game. It obviously creates a buzz. It’s great for young fans, especially the younger fans who want to know why she’s going to this game and why she’s interested in it. This match will create a new group of young women. In addition to (her relationship with) Travis, she’s a football fan, which I think is great for us. ”
Goodell rejected the idea that Swift and Kelce’s relationship was contrived or “scripted” in any way. Goodell said it would be “impossible” to script what their relationship would be like.
