Taylor Swift puts tough men to shame

The most important question for many millions of Americans before this year’s Super Bowl in the National Football League (NFL) between defending champions Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers is not who will be the sporting winner on Monday night (12:30 a.m., RTL). the duel in Las Vegas. Or whether R&B singer Usher’s halftime performance will actually be a success. But more importantly, whether pop superstar Taylor Swift will actually make it to Allegiant Stadium on time for the start of the game. Because the newly crowned Grammy winner and girlfriend of Chiefs professional Travis Kelce is giving a concert in distant Tokyo the evening before.

On Wednesday, Kelce sat in an armchair in a Super Bowl jersey and answered questions from a crowd of journalists for almost 40 minutes. Most of the time it was about his girlfriend. What did he think about the bet that they would get married in Las Vegas? What will happen first: Taylor getting a ring from him or the 49ers in the Super Bowl? Is it more strenuous to give a concert for three hours or to stand on the football field? And finally: What does he think about having to answer so many questions about his private life? “How could I be upset about that?” replied the 34-year-old, who, as star quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ favorite pass receiver, is one of the most important players on the field. Swift is considered a marketing gift for the NFL. With 280 million followers on Instagram, she has enormous influence. Her current Eras tour is considered the most commercially successful in music history, and her net worth is estimated at one billion US dollars. Since her first stadium visit to Kansas City last September, Swift has brought more than $331 million in marketing value to the Chiefs and the NFL, according to a study.

In the USA alone, 200 million people are expected to be in front of their television screens this Sunday. And the focus on the field is also on the two quarterbacks. For Chiefs playmaker Mahomes, already a two-time Super Bowl winner, there was unpleasant news before the mega event. His father, Patrick Mahomes Sr., was arrested in Texas this week for driving under the influence. His counterpart, Brock Purdy from the San Francisco 49ers, trusts in heavenly support. He often prays during games to calm himself down, Purdy revealed before the NFL showdown. He was underestimated for a long time. “I wasn’t the biggest, the fastest or the strongest, but I found ways to win,” Purdy says.

If the bookmakers have their way, the 58th Super Bowl in Las Vegas will be a tight affair. San Francisco has been waiting for Super Bowl number six for 29 years, and the last two attempts failed.
