In case you’ve managed to miss the news, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have started dating. They’re both at the top of their game — pun intended — when it comes to their respective careers, with Swift nailing it as a superstar singer-songwriter selling out stadiums around the world, and Kelce as a record-holding tight end with the Kansas City Chiefs and owner of two Super Bowl rings.
With the intense fascination and media attention on the couple, a growing number of Swifties seem to have started following the team. Their follower numbers on their Instagram account had a significant spike in October 2023, according to Spike Blade, which would be the time when Swift was being spotted watching the games — similar spikes happened before, but only after the Chiefs won the Super Bowl.
With what seems like a nod to that jump in popularity with probable Swift fans and the attention that the Kelce and Swift relationship is getting, the Kansas City Chiefs Instagram page first teased an upcoming trailer with a pretend rom-com movie poster for “Falling for Football,” and fans filled the comments with hopes and requests that it was a story about Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift. While the parody trailer they released the next day wasn’t about Kelce and Swift, it does include several hidden nods to Swift along the way that we love to see — and we kind of wish it was a real movie!
Taylor Swift has become synonymous with friendship bracelets
he spoof trailer for “Falling for Football” leans in on poking some good-natured fun at the typical Hallmark rom-com tropes as well as sneaking in some references to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. In the clip, Janel Parrish of “Pretty Little Liars” fame plays Amber, a woman who once loved football. However, after a heartbreak, she’s “lost the postseason spirit” thanks to her fiance getting playoff tickets. “How could you choose the Dawg Pound over me?” she asks. The Dawg Pound is a reference to a fan section for the Cleveland Browns. Who grew up in a suburb of Cleveland and once wanted to play for the Browns? Kelce.
