The love story between Taylor Swift and the National Football League is back for a second season … because the NFL is promoting the pop star more than the game’s best player.
The NFL just released a promo video for the 2024 season ahead of Thursday’s opening game, and Taylor has the lion’s share of screen time … making five appearances in a 28-second clip.

Taylor is shown more than any player in the league, and the NFL doesn’t show Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes until the very end … when he’s seen hoisting the Vince Lombardi Trophy.
The promo video is a look back at the 2023 season, which became all about Taylor when she started dating Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce … and the NFL is going back to their golden goose here as they look ahead.
Among Taylor’s five appearances … two celebrations with Kelce’s mom Donna; arriving at a game with a custom Chiefs jacket; kissing Travis on the field and chugging a beer at the Super Bowl.

Travis and Patrick both said recently Taylor’s a big football fan and is drawing up plays for the Chiefs … and it’s clear she’s got some major influence at NFL HQ.
We meant what we said about Taylor getting the lion’s share … she more than doubles up clips of the Detroit Lions, one of the best storylines from last season.
Dolly Parton is the only other celeb the NFL highlights here … she’s briefly shown in a Dallas Cowboys getup.
It’s Taylor’s league … and everyone else is playing in it.
