Mark Donovan, the president of the Kansas City Chiefs, has stepped in to address these claims. Speaking to CNBC’s Squawk Box, Donovan called their relationship “authentic” and dismissed the idea that it was planned for publicity. “I’d love to say it was a marketing strategy, but it’s an authentic relationship,” Donovan stated. “We’re happy to have it, and it’s been nothing but good for us.”
He also mentioned that Taylor Swift’s presence has positively impacted both the team and its fans. The pop star’s appearances have reportedly boosted the team’s popularity, leading to increased support from her massive fan base, the Swifties.
In a podcast interview earlier, Donovan joked about Swift’s frequent visits to the games, saying, “It seems like she wants to be a fan.” He explained that the team is creating opportunities to welcome her and ensure she can support Travis Kelce comfortably.
Rumors about the relationship being a marketing strategy were further debunked when Forbes reported the financial benefits the Chiefs have experienced since Swift began attending games. The team’s valuation has risen to $4.85 billion, and sales of Kelce’s jerseys have spiked by 400% since Swift attended her first game in September 2023.
While fans continue to speculate, the Chiefs president has made it clear that the team appreciates Swift’s support and is not attempting to exploit her fame. Taylor Swift’s presence has brought energy to the games, benefiting both the team and its supporters.
The romance between Swift and Kelce remains a topic of interest, but for now, it seems the relationship is as real as it gets.
