'Taylor Swift is a huge football fan and I've known her for 15 years' claims NFL boss Roger Goodell in rare TV interview | D1I8RSW | 2024-04-28 02:08:01
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is a huge fan of Taylor Swift's impact on the league.
Goodell made an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show to discuss the NFL Draft and other happenings in the league, and the topic of Taylor Swift arose.
Goodell only had good things to say about the pop superstar when questioned on the show.
"Anybody who's interested in the NFL, that's good for everybody involved in the NFL," Goodell said.
"You get somebody with the kind of exposure and following like Taylor Swift, who does love football."
Goodell explained that he has met Swift multiple times before the previous season and said she is a huge fan.
"I've known her for 15 years I first met her in New Orleans," Goodell said.
"She loves the game, so that's great for us."
Goodell previously made comments welcoming Swift to the NFL fandom during the Chiefs' Super Bowl run.
"Having the 'Taylor Swift Effect' is also a positive," he said.
"Obviously, it creates a buzz. It creates another group of young fans, particularly young women that are interested in seeing, 'Why is she going to this game? Why is she interested in this game?'
"Besides Travis, she is a football fan, and I think that's great for us."
<!-- End of Brightcove Player --> At the time, Goodell faced many jokes about scripting the league for Swift's involvement, which he had fun with.
"Listen, there is no way that I could have scripted that one, let's just put it that way," he said.
"She's a remarkable performer. She knows great entertainment.
"I had the opportunity to go to two of her concerts with our girls and my wife.
"She's the best of the best, and so having her come to NFL games, to have her be a part of that is nothing but a positive."
