Wherever Taylor Swift goes, the money follows.
Ticket prices for the Kansas City Chiefs vs. New York Jets game on Sunday night jumped after reports that the popstar would be there — presumably to cheer on her rumored beau, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
Indeed, Swift showed up ahead of kickoff, becoming a major talking point among NBC broadcasters during the pre-game show.
Although she arrived alongside a few major Hollywood players — including Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman — the talk was all Taylor.
“I’m not going to make a Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift joke — I think we know those jokes all too well,” said fantasy sports commentator Matthew Berry.
In one promo, a tag line for the Chiefs-Jets game read “Taylor-made for primetime.”
After the news surfaced that Swift would be at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, the price for cheap seats rose 10% percent to $152, according to Gametime, an online marketplace for last-minute tickets. The average ticket price shot up 35% to $380 on Friday.
