The potential move, which has already received verbal approval from NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, would make Swift one of the highest-profile celebrity investors in league history.
Taylor Swift's influence on the NFL and her link to the Chiefs run deeper than fanfare
Since going public with Travis Kelce in 2023, Swift has brought a tidal wave of attention to the NFL, regularly spotted cheering from VIP boxes at Chiefs games. Fans and analysts alike have credited her presence with boosting the league's cultural relevance, especially among younger and more diverse demographics.
NFL Commissioner Goodell recently acknowledged this impact, saying, 'She's an unbelievable artist, Travis is an unbelievable player and I think it's great for the league.

Goodell also confirmed the legitimacy of Swift's potential ownership ambitions: 'If she's interested, I think she has the ability to do it.' While Swift hasn't officially made a move, the approval opens the door for an unprecedented crossover between pop stardom and professional sports ownership.
A billionaire pop star with a game-changing financial footprint
With her record-breaking Eras Tour propelling her into the billionaire class in 2023, Swift is now among music's financial elites, alongside Jay-Z and Rihanna. Her resources, coupled with her deep connection to the Chiefs through Kelce, make her an ideal candidate for reshaping team ownership models. Celebrities like Ryan Reynolds, Rob McElhenney, and Michael B. Jordan have already paved the way for Hollywood-NFL crossover investments, but Swift's potential stake in a flagship NFL franchise could be an even bigger milestone.
While she hasn't confirmed her interest, insiders say the approval is already shaking up conversations behind the scenes.

IND vs ENG: Sachin Tendulkar gives his verdict on Test series - 10/10
London: India's Mohammed Siraj celebrates with teammates after taking the wicket of England's Jamie Overton during the fifth day of the fifth Test match between India and England, at The Oval cricket ground, in London, England. (PTI Photo/R Senthilkumar)(PTI08_04_2025_000341B) Legendary India cricketer Sachin Tendulkar has given his verdict on India's exhilarating win over England in the fifth Test at The Oval, which helped level the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2-2. One of the great Test matches—destined to live long in memory—was decided by a perfect yorker from Mohammed Siraj , as India drew the series 2-2 despite a valiant and brave effort from Chris Woakes, who came out to bat with his arm in a sling. "Test cricket… absolute goosebumps. Series 2–2, Performance 10/10! SUPERMEN from INDIA! What a win," Tendulkar wrote on X. England arrived on the final day of the five-match series needing just 35 runs with four wickets in hand to complete a remarkable chase of 374 but were blown away on a morning of unbearable tension. Mohammed Siraj took three of the four wickets to fall on Day 5, finishing with figures of 5 for 104. "It means so much," said Shubman Gill to the BBC. "This was a very hard-fought series. Both teams kept throwing punches, and you could never really predict after Day Four who was going to win the match. We are a young team, but before the start of the series we spoke about not wanting to be seen as a 'young team'… and I think we showed that today." Poll What was the most exciting moment of the fifth Test match between India and England? Mohammed Siraj's perfect yorker Chris Woakes batting with an arm in a sling The tension on the final day Sachin Tendulkar's reaction on social media England captain Ben Stokes, who missed the Oval Test due to injury, said it had been an "incredible series", with all five Tests going into the final day. "So much has been put into this series from both teams," the all-rounder said. "The commitment and energy have been outstanding. Standing here now, we're bitterly disappointed we couldn't get the series win. But as a massive advocate for Test cricket, I can say this series has been an unbelievable advertisement for the format around the world. To all the doubters saying Test cricket is dying — this series has proved the opposite."
