Many years there are major stories surrounding the Super Bowl. They are not just about the star players. Never has there been so much attention about the significant others of the star players than there is this year. There is a ton of hype surrounding Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes‘s wife Brittany and Chiefs’s tight end Travis Kelce‘s girlfriend Taylor Swift.
There is supposed to be huge television ratings for CBS on Sunday. The highest watched Super Bowl ever came on February 1, 2015. That is when 114.44 million people saw the New England Patriots beat the Seattle Seahawks 28-24. It was a dramatic win for the Patriots as they stopped the Seahawks on the final play of the game. Seattle shocked the football world as they passed the football instead of running the ball.
Due to the Swift Effect, the estimated number of people watching the 2024 Super Bowl is expected to be larger than 115 million. I would be surprised if it is that low. Don’t be surprised if it is closer to 120 million. There are going to be millions of viewers not interested whatsoever in watching the NFL’s best tight end. They are going to want to see the game’s best tight end’s iconic girlfriend on football’s biggest stage.
There is another woman connected to the Chiefs who have made headlines lately. That is Brittany Mahomes. Why? Well, that is because Patrick Mahomes’s wife was named to the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition for 2024 according to Paulina Dedaj of FOX News. Now, Brittany Mahomes does have an athletic background. She did play soccer at the University of Texas Tyler.
On the field, the 49ers are the two point favourites. But will fans care who wins if they get to see Swift and Brittany Mahomes? Maybe not.
