The NFL has gained a lot of new fans recently. Taylor Swift’s supporters are now following the National Football Leagued thanks to the singer’s relationship with Travis Kelce, tight end of the Chiefs.

Unfortunately, the NFL is now facing intense backlash for supporting Kansas City since Swift’s arrival.
