Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce's Romance Helping the NFL? Commissioner Roger Goodell Thinks So — Here's Why

Taylor Swift and her athlete boyfriend Travis Kelce have been taking over the world by storm because of their whirlwind romance and it appears that the NFL is in favor of their relationship as approved by Roger Goodell.

The NFL commissioner recently appeared in an interview with CBS Mornings where he revealed his true feelings over the football star and singer's current romance that has been making headlines for months now.

Speaking with Nate Burleson, Goodell noted that he's happy for the couple because "They seem to be enjoying their relationship, that's great in and of itself."

He then added that their love for one another is also good for the National Football League because it helps them connect with Swifties.

"It has connected more fans of Taylor's and more fans of the NFL in some way to see that now they have a connection to our game," he added. (via Billboard)

Roger Goodell Thinks Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce's Relationship is Great for the NFL

Elsewhere in the interview, the NFL commissioner commended Swift for being an incredible artist, he also praised Kelce for being an "unbelievable player."

Since both of them had big fanbases before their whirlwind romance even began, Goodell said, "I think it's great for the league to have that kind of attention. We welcome it."

Thanks to Taylor Swift, the number of viewers of NFL games skyrocketed especially during Kansas City Chiefs' games. The reason behind it is that the musician had already attended a few games in the past.

The NFL also got another record last Monday when the Kansas City Chiefs went head-to-head against the Philadelphia Eagles as they became the most-viewed Monday night football game in nearly three decades.

Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce Updates

The mega-pop superstar is currently going through a tough time after one of her supporters died at "The Eras Tour" in Brazil.

In early reports, a woman named Ana Benevides was attending the concert at the Estádio Nilton Santos in Rio de Janeiro, but the temperature outside was so high that it reached up to 90 degrees fahrenheit.

When they got inside, it was even way hotter and the fan later fainted in the front row. She later died at a local hospital after suffering from a "second cardiac arrest."

Amid all the issue, Taylor Swift was devastated and it was reported that Travis Kelce has been a "huge support system for her right now."
