NFL admits that Taylor Swift's tour had a huge impact on the 2024 schedule

The NFL is very aware of Taylor Swift’s global relevance. Now, the league has openly admitted that while creating the schedule for the 2024 season, they had to take the singer’s tour into consideration and adapt accordingly.

Last year, Travis Kelce revealed that after several months of trying, he was able to make Taylor Swift fall in love with him. The Kansas City Chiefs‘ tight end started a relationship with the Grammy-award winner, and all of her fans began following football immediately.

Now that Swift has brought a lot of attention to the NFL, the league needs to take her into consideration for several matters. Surprisingly, she influenced some dates of the 2024 schedule, as the league is aware of her relevance in the US.

Kansas City has acquired new fans, but also the rest of the NFL. For that reason, the league is very interested to walk alongside Taylor Swift and adapt to her agenda in the best way possible.

NFL vice president of broadcast planning Mike North admitted that the league had to check Taylor Swift’s tour dates in the United States to make the schedule for the 2024 season, per Fox Sports.

Swift will perform at the Hard Rock Stadium (Dolphins), the Caesars Superdome (Saints), and the Lucas Oil Stadium (Colts) for three consecutive days in each venue, and the league adapted to that calendar to avoid scheduling games during those dates.

The NFL ensured that all those teams would play away games during the dates when Swift has shows at their stadiums. However, with the Kansas City Chiefs, there’s an interesting coincidence involving Taylor’s tour.

The Chiefs will play against the Bills on November 17. Coincidentally, Taylor has that day completely free, as she ends her first set of shows in Toronto on the 16th and restarts them on the 21st. This means she will be able to support Kelce against Buffalo.

North denied that the NFL did this on purpose, calling it “pure coincidence,” per the Boston Globe. However, the league has taken advantage of Swift’s appearances during Chiefs’ games, so perhaps it was not a mere accident.
