Parents share heartwarming stories of how Taylor Swift has inspired girls to watch the NFL
NFL fans everywhere have taken to social media over the course of this season to lament about how tired they are of seeing Taylor Swift while watching football. But she actually may be helping grow the game.
When Swift started dating Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, there were plenty of takes and debates on whether her presence and connection to the team would be a distraction. On the surface, the conversation around the singer/songwriter and her NFL connection seems to have largely painted her in a negative light. However, many parents have shared stories of how Swift has helped their young daughters connect with them over watching football games.
Here are some of the most heartwarming tweets about how Swift has helped girls around the country fall in love with football.

Heartwarming tweets about Taylor Swift's NFL connection
My nieces were visiting this week and they & my daughter (all teens) were talking about how cool it is to watch football and see their hero Taylor Swift cheering. It made me smile; I love the whole thing and can’t imagine being grouchy about it. We need a T. Swift in baseball lol

I’m watching football with one of my sons and my daughter. My son is watching because he loves football. My daughter, because she loves Taylor Swift. I’m equally excited to be watching with both. I love that Taylor has introduced so many people to this game.

You know what’s really great about Taylor Swift & the Chiefs? All the little girls that are all of a sudden interested in football. My daughter loves listening to Swift and if that means she’ll watch the Super Bowl with me so she can see Swift on TV, then hell yeah.

At work today my boss says his daughter watched football with him for the first time because Taylor Swift was at the game, he said he cried. He told me he and his daughter made a playlist of Taylors music to listen to in the car, then I cried 🥺🥲

And if you aren’t cool with a million little girls getting to see 4 seconds of their favorite star while you’re enjoying some NFL football then…

All I know is my daughters watched the whole game. Got happy when Taylor Swift was on camera. And asked 1,000 football related questions. I assume that is true for a lot of households and that we can expect to see a lot of T Swift during the Superbowl.
