How much money has Taylor Swift made for the NFL?
Swift attended her first Chiefs game of 2023 on Sept. 24. Since then, she's attended 12 games total, including the AFC championship. The Super Bowl will be her 13th game, which, if you know the 14-time Grammy winner, couldn't be more fitting.

Ahead of the Chiefs' AFC title win over the Ravens on Jan. 28, Apex Marketing Group calculated how much brand value Swift has generated for the league and the Kansas City-based franchise. The revenue added by the singer came out to an estimated $331.5 million between print, digital, radio, TV, highlights and social media, according to Front Office Sports.

Something seems fishy and frankly I doubt BOTH sets of numbers. Forbes says the Chiefs revenue was $591M for 2023. Even if you spread Swift's impact over 2 years......that's remarkably significant.

Oh, I believe Forbes reported the number they were given. Im just not certain I believe in the number they were given. But if you believe Forbes, how in the heck did the Chiefs generate $590M and $3XX million was attributable to Taylor? And why do the Chiefs suck so bad as a revenue generating organization when all of the other NFL teams revenues have very comparable revenue numbers without a Taylor Swift impact?


Is the link to the article you posted completely wrong?

Thank you both, gentlemen. For the record I wont be watching the SB either. Not because I think its fixed but because I dont care for either team. But my question was in the broader sense....I dont understand why you would watch any games at all. Just a hard habit to break?

because 99% of the games are fine.

I'll say this. I was at one point a Steelers fan. Until Roethlisburger raped a girl. And the Steelers did nothing to punish him (the League suspended him 4 games). Should have be off the team. Would have if he wasn't the star, any other player would have been gone. Lost all respect for that franchise. Once a proud franchise, the almighty dollar guided their very POOR decision to do nothing.

So I've never watched another Steeler game, nor visited their stadium(s) again, no more merch, etc.


So to be determined if this gets me out of "PRO" football. It might, we'll see how my not watching the SB goes. Guessing quite smooth.

The hope that next year the script favors my team or my team is good enough to overcome the stacked deck. Hard habit to break is correct but it’s showing cracks.

because those figures ad intangibles into the value. Like the claim that Tiger's chip in at the Masters where the Nike logo hung over the lip of the cup nad then fell in was worth 100 Million to Nike.

Nobody handed Nike $100 million in cash, and their sales didn't go up by that amount, but the amount of airplay that shot got in terms of advertising was worth that much.

So first off, $300 million is chicken feed compared to the revenue the NFL as a whole generates even if it was actual cash in someone's pocket; And again who's pocket??? It's not like Goodell gets to stuff it in his mattress, league revenues get shared so now you're dividing the spoils 32 ways. But wait that $300 million figure is largely intangibles like the Nike figure.

But yup, the other owners are all going to agree to not win Super Bowls because Taylor Swift blah, blah blah...
