Studying Time: 3 minutes

Just some quick years in the past, Taylor Swift, by her personal admission, had zero curiosity within the sport of soccer.

That every one modified, after all, when she began relationship Travis Kelce.

There was a time when Taylor was a fixture at each Chiefs recreation, each at Arrowhead Stadium, and when the crew traveled for away video games.

When the Chiefs received their final Tremendous Bowl in 2023, Taylor was there each step of the best way, one way or the other making time throughout her record-breaking Eras Tour to attend many of the crew’s matchups.

And he or she saved that streak going the next season, when the crew survived a grueling schedule and made all of it the best way to Tremendous Bowl LIX — solely to get trounced by the Philadelphia Eagles in an incredibly lopsided contest.

This previous season, the pop icon took a really totally different method to her nonetheless comparatively newfound fandom.

She attended many of the Chiefs’ residence video games, however so far as we all know, she opted to observe all of their away video games on TV.

And this yr, Tay received’t have to fret about reserving a luxurious suite for the most important recreation of the yr.

Sure, in the event you’re a soccer fan, then we in all probability don’t must inform you that the Chiefs will not be enjoying in Tremendous Bowl LX — in truth, their season will come to a detailed with an anti-climactic common season matchup towards the Las Vegas Raiders on January 4.

For the primary time since 2014, the Chiefs have been eradicated from the NFL playoffs — and in brutal style.

Not solely have been they knocked out of the working with a number of weeks left within the season, however quarterback Patrick Mahomes tore his ACL, an harm that would depart him sidelined for a part of subsequent season.

Clearly, this raises numerous questions for the league’s It Couple (no, not Josh Allen and Hailee Steinfeld).

If the Chiefs had made a playoff run and received one other Tremendous Bowl, Tay’s fiance Travis Kelce in all probability would’ve retired.

In spite of everything, he’ll flip 37 subsequent season, which is roughly 108 in tight finish years.

And the thought of catching passes from Gardner Minshew or another backup in subsequent yr’s opener won’t maintain a lot attraction for Travis.

Then once more, the thought of by no means enjoying in one other Tremendous Bowl is likely to be downright unthinkable to the long run Corridor of Famer.

For sure, the scenario raises an entire lot of questions:

Is Travis planning to announce his retirement on the finish of this season? Will Taylor attend the remaining Chiefs video games, now that they’re principally meaningless?

And most vital of all — a minimum of in the event you’re Roger Goodell — what does all of this imply for the Tremendous Bowl’s TV rankings?
