00:00 Taylor Swift being at Arrowhead Stadium watching Travis Kelsey play.

00:03 Did they go on a date after?

00:04 Maybe, I don't know.

00:05 But it begs the question, was this the biggest storyline to come out of yesterday?

00:09 And it is the biggest storyline in football right now.

00:12 Well, this is like a trick question.

00:14 The answer to your first question is yes.

00:17 It is the biggest mass media storyline to come out of yesterday because it's the only

00:21 thing I've seen on my timeline, you know, for the last 12 hours.

00:26 Basically walking next to Taylor Swift is the greatest accomplishment someone can have

00:30 in their life.

00:31 Getting in a Corvette or a convertible or whatever it was that they drove off in, the

00:36 grease car.

00:37 Is it the biggest story in football?

00:39 No.

00:40 It has nothing to do with football unless we want to like position it as a distraction

00:44 for the Chiefs going forward.

00:46 Congratulations to Travis Kelsey and to Taylor Swift for whatever this is.

00:52 But you know, Claudette, I personally don't care that much about it.

00:56 I was very invested in this entire situation.

00:59 I have to say, I think a lot more people were actually interested in what was going on between

01:03 these two than a lot of the games that were being played yesterday.

01:06 The NFL's TikTok account, the last like 10 videos are all Taylor Swift in the bio of

01:11 their account.

01:12 Also, it says Taylor was here.

01:13 I mean, this has absolutely taken the internet by storm.

01:16 It has broken the internet.

01:17 And I have a theory, the video of them walking together, leaving arrowheads side by side,

01:22 I feel like this might be our female version of the Roman Empire.

01:25 Well, you know, Claudette, when you talk about the popularity of the NFL, I often say the

01:30 NFL is the single most popular thing in this country.

01:33 But the Super Bowl halftime show is always the most watched thing in the world.

01:38 Like during that year on television, or at least in America, right?

01:42 And that's because you're bringing in all the football fans and then you're bringing

01:46 in all the pomp and circumstance as well.

01:49 This was kind of the halftime show in real time, regular season four.

01:56 And by the way, they announced obviously the ushers going to be the halftime performer

01:59 at this year's Super Bowl.

02:01 This news completely like overpowered all of that.

02:04 Nobody cared.

02:05 I mean, I cared, but not as much as the Taylor Swift, Travis Kelsey situation.
