As co-owner of the Washington Commanders, an American football team, Magic Johnson is enjoying his newfound prominence in the NFL, particularly in light of Taylor Swift’s recent romantic relationship with Kansas City Chiefs tight end, Travis Kelce.
In an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live this week, the veteran basketball player said, “Exactly. Well, the NFL is very happy about that whole situation” concerning the relationship between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.
Travis Kelce’s ongoing relationship with the award-winning singer started in July when he tried to hand her a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it during her Eras tour stop in Kansas City.
He then invited her to a football game, which she accepted on September 24, when the Anti-Hero hitmaker shocked American football fans and Swifties alike when she spent the day cheering on the Kansas City Chiefs from Kelce’s suite alongside his mom, Donna, as the team played the Chicago Bears.
Since then, Swift has attended several games to support Kelce, which has helped the NFL’s bottom line.
