Taylor Swift Travis Kelce Chiefs
After the Kansas City Chiefs clinched the win against the Baltimore Ravens to secure their spot in the Super Bowl LVIII, fans began thinking that the Super Bowl may be rigged.
In the TikTok video, there is a conversation going on about what Swift has done for the NFL to date in terms of dating Travis KElce, who plays for the Chiefs. Accoridng to the TikTok video, Swift has allegedly generated the equivalent brand value of $331.5 M for the Chiefs in the NFL. That figure includes print, digital, radio etc.
Fans believe that Swift will be at the Super Bowl after she has been spotted cheering on Kelce at multiple games so it only makes sense that she would cheer him on at this upcoming showdown between the Chiefs and 49ers.
NFL Rigged
Now, there is no concrete evidence to support claims that the NFL or Super Bowl is rigged– this is all speculation. However, some people in the comment section of the above video believe that the game against the Chiefs and Ravens seemed fishy.
Others believe that NFL viewership has increased among women and girls because of Swift which could lean into conspiracy theories about the NFL being rigged to have the Chiefs play in the Super Bowl to gain more views. Nothing is for certain, as there is no concrete evidence to support claims that the NFL or Super Bowl is rigged.
