Hey Brads, Chads, Dads, we think it’s time, “you need to calm down.”
It’s been roughly four months since Taylor Swift began attending Chiefs games in support of her new boyfriend Travis Kelce. And while we can see the comments on this post now defending the unfounded noise Taylor’s appearance has caused, it’s time to stop “taking shots at [Taylor] like its Patron.”

So we decided to keep tabs on it during the Chiefs versus Ravens game. How often is the NFL choosing to show Taylor as she watches the game from the suite?
Is it really that much? Is it really that distracting? Or do people need to “shake it off” and move on with their “champagne problems?”
The First Quarter:
During the first 15 minutes of the game, Taylor Swift’s appearance took up about 10 seconds of air time:
Taylor Swift was shown for the first time celebrating with her friends during the first quarter after Travis Kelce scored the first touchdown of the game with 7:41 to go.

She was then showed again as the game went to commercial via a replay of Kelce’s touchdown and Swift’s celebration was showed again.
The Second Quarter:
During the second 15 minutes of the game, Taylor was seen for a total of 24 seconds, making the total roughly 34 seconds so far.
Going into the commercial following the Chiefs’ second touchdown, Swift was seen celebrating with the number 10 in the suite alongside the others.

With 3:42 to go in the half, while promoting the Grammys, the NFL took the opportunity to show off Taylor Swift talking in the suite with her friends. She refrained from showing any emotion. You know how people feel about too much emotion.
@bethany_pendleton13 shes just like me fr #taylorswift #swifttok #taylorsversion #taylornation #swiftie #swifties #traviskelce #chiefs #taylorswifttraviskelce #traviskelcetaylorswift #reputationtaylorsversion #tstheerastour #tstheerastourfilm #erastourtaylorswift #erastour #jasonkelce #kyliekelce #newheightspodcast #newheights ♬ now that we dont talk taylors version – #1 false god stan ????
Then, with 36 second left in first half, Taylor was shown celebrating a Kelce catch by wrapping her arms around a nearby friend and smiling.
@bethany_pendleton13 SOOOOO CUTEEEE ???????????????????????????????? #taylorswift #swifttok #taylorsversion #taylornation #swiftie #swifties #traviskelce #chiefs #taylorswifttraviskelce #traviskelcetaylorswift #reputationtaylorsversion #tstheerastour #tstheerastourfilm #erastourtaylorswift #erastour #jasonkelce #kyliekelce #newheightspodcast #newheights ♬ sweet nothing – audios
And two of the above celebrations were later given a replay as the game went into halftime and as the halftime panel began their analysis of the game.

The Third Quarter:
Taylor Swift wasn’t shown a single time during the third quarter of the game.
And The Fourth Quarter:
During the fourth quarter, Taylor Swift wasn’t shown a single time again, meaning she wasn’t given more than a minute of air time the whole three-hour long game.
All of this, to make a “Long Story Short,” Taylor Swift’s presents isn’t affecting the viewing experience for football fans. So in the words of Swift herself, “breathe in, breathe through, breathe deep, breathe out” because you’ll be seeing more of Taylor in two weeks.
