Another Taylor Swift surge? Ticket prices to Chiefs matchup against Jets in New York rise
Move over Messi Mania. Taylor Swift has entered the chat.
The global superstar accepted Travis Kelce's invitation to Arrowhead Stadium and sat with his mother Donna to cheer him on during the Kansas City Chiefs' blowout win over the Chicago Bear on Sunday. Swift and Kelce were spotted leaving the game together in a convertible, not only fueling dating rumors, but setting the entire internet on fire.
Kelce's jersey sales spiked 400 percent. He gained more than 250,000 Instagram followers. Sunday's telecast brought in 24.3 million total viewers, the most-watched NFL broadcast of the week on any network. Heinz even announced a new "Ketchup and Seemingly Ranch" product after Swift was spotted eating chicken nuggets with both condiments at the game.
And it looks like we are in store for Round 2. ... Ready For It?
According to Front Office Sports, Swift will be back to cheer on Kelce during the Chiefs' Week 4 matchup against the New York Jets on Sunday in MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. The news sent fans (mainly Swifties) scrambling to buy tickets.
