- NFL. Chiefs 2024 Preseason Schedule: When is Kansas City playing and where can you watch every game?
The NFL regular season is just under a month away from kicking off at Arrowhead Stadium with the Kansas City Chiefs hosting the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens, boasting the MVP and the best record last season, will look to avenge their previous loss to the Chiefs, who went on to win their third Super Bowl in four years. Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and Andy Reid have established a dynasty, and with Mahomes still in his prime, this could be just the beginning.
Eras Tour: Final Dates
Swift's "Eras Tour" is nearing its end, with the final European dates in Austria this weekend and concluding in London on August 20. She will return to the U.S. and have a break until her next concert on October 18. This schedule allows Swift to attend the first five weeks of the NFL season, supporting Kelce as he did during her European tour. The tour, set to finish in Canada on December 8, is the highest grossing in history, generating over a billion dollars from 152 shows across five continents. In addition to the first five weeks of the season, Swift will also be able to attend the final four weeks and all playoff games, setting the stage for another season of heightened interest in the NFL.
The influx of Swift's fanbase into the NFL viewership has its detractors, but it undeniably boosts the league's audience. With flag football debuting at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, this type of cross-promotional marketing benefits the NFL, expanding its reach even further. Prepare for "Taylor NFL Season 2.0," which, contrary to criticism, brings more fans and excitement to the game. So hardcore fans get ready to see Taylor Swift once again on repeated occasions, although it may seem that the attention is more on her, the truth is that the very development of the game is the most atarctive of each match and she only helps to attract more fans.
Travis Kelce and the Taylor Effect
At 34, Travis Kelce is still at the peak of his career. Comparatively, Rob Gronkowski retired at 32. The prospect of starting a family with Taylor Swift could influence Kelce's decision to retire on a high note, especially if the Chiefs achieve the first three-peat in NFL history. Although Kelce's retirement is still a future consideration, the immediate impact is Swift's presence at Chiefs' games, drawing immense attention from her vast fanbase.
Last season, Taylor Swift attended 13 Chiefs games, including the Super Bowl, often becoming a focal point for the cameras. This season, the Chiefs are set to play on every day of the week except Tuesday, a first in NFL history, showcasing the "Taylor effect."
