Let’s see if it gets as much play as a 20 minute power outage. lol

No, but they have already shown her 5 times and the game hasn't even started. If you want to see Taylor Swift, go to a concert.

[kansasr]

Is there anyone tired of football games? Who cares? LOL

[Stu from NYC]

Sorry do not carebif she is at the game or not.

[GoRedSox!]

The reason that they keep showing Taylor Swift is because it's a big increase to their ratings. Taylor Swift is just about the biggest celebrity in the world today.

[manaboutown]

It's all about the ratings and therefore the money, as usual.

[Taltarzac725]

The NFL sure are using it to boost their ratings and it is working.

[Two Bills]

Who's Taylor Swift?:shrug:

[Caymus]

I wonder how much of their fan bases overlap. 1%?

[dewilson58]

Absolutely.

TS has a larger fan base.

The whole thing is marketing.

I doubt the fake relationship will last the full season.

Not long. On tv she was making eyes at me.

Hopefully your family is more accepting.................I can see it in Travis's mom's eyes, does not like little blondie.

[Taltarzac725]

She is incredibly talented with a lot of top songs to her credit. Think I started hearing her on the radio at the movie theater when we lived in Palm Harbor and her latest song was on while I was in the restroom at the Oldsmar Theater. Or, maybe this was after I had moved to the Villages but was still going back to that area rather often and still seeing movies at the Oldsmar Theater.

John Idzik, Jr. lived near us who would later be run out of town by rabid New York Jets fans as he had not done well as their General Manager. He was with the Jags as well as with the Bucs at various times. John Idzik is the grandson or something like that of my paternal grandfather's brother.

According to a column in the Daily Sun, Taylor Swift and Beyonce are generating big interest in their upcoming "concert movies". This begs the question, when is Hollywood going to produce another movie with a real actor, not a rock star.

[ThirdOfFive]

Well, I do prefer seeing Janet Jackson at football games, but...yanno....

[collie1228]

Frankly, I'm tired of seeing her anywhere. I couldn't name one of her songs, and only very recently could recognize her photos. Kind of how I was with Madonna so many years ago. I'm an old crank, I guess, and couldn't care less about pop culture.

Could you care less back when Elvis was the big star? What about Sinatra, or Tom Jones? Once upon a time, no ne would ever ask the OP's question if Elvis had been the one on TV 5 times before the game even started, and was doing the half-time show.

That was that generation's big deal. I personally never liked Elvis, and I definitely didn't like football. I still don't.

But today's stars are for today's younger generations. They'll be the ones whining about the latest and greatest on TV in another 40 years. For now, this is their half-time show, their superstar. Ours are retired, dead, or on their way out. It's time to move over and give the new folks their day. They invite you to enjoy it with them - but you're not invited to trash it.

[Stu from NYC]

Getting tickers for her concerts. Who is in?

When the actors strike is over, I’m guessing.

Don't watch football could care less
Same goes for baseball

On The Eagles: Glen Frey is dead.
On The Stones: Charlie Watts is dead.
Bruce Springsteen: Cancelled all his shows because of failing health.
So yeah you've got Billy Joel.
We have a lot of other stars, but none of them would perform at an NFL half-time. I mean - could you imagine Genesis or Pink Floyd or Jethro Tull at a half-time concert? They're all still performing, they're all still amazing. And not one of them would do it. So they don't count.

What counts is who WOULD perform for a Superbowl halftime show. Remember these shows are only around 20 minutes long. The bands we would want to see - wouldn't even be able to set up their drum kits for something like this. A Pink Floyd halftime? Are you kidding me? The theatrical lighting and laser show alone would take 6 hours to set up, let alone the enormous helium pig held by around 20 people until they release it into the air.

What they need are individuals, fancy costumes, fireworks, choreography, and canned background music. Pop stars can deliver that in spades.

If I may interrupt this meeting of Curmudgeons, Inc. to ask……

Does this pattern of posts have anything to do with the fact that Taylor Swift encourages young people to vote?

Suspicious minds want to know.

[Michael G.]

Who's Taylor Swift?:shrug:

Her or showing Jerry Jones in his plush booth at the Dalles games, :eek:

BTW in case you haven't noticed, the NFL is bigger then god.

The way they are fawning over Swift, it would seem "bigger than god" has a crush.

[tophcfa]

I’ve heard her name before, but had no idea who she is. My wife explained who she is and why she is so popular and now I understand why I had no idea who she is. I guess I’ll never be a Swiftie!

[Topspinmo]

How many know what Taylor swift first started singing…. No pop but? Country and western. Nashville star.

Is there a “Swiftie” club in TV?

[Fused Glass]

Yes who wants to watch overpaid thugs

When has she ever been involved in politics?

I heard Taylor Swift was walking her dog during the recent power outage, and let it poop on someone's lawn.

Get out of my head! I heard that a certain "news" channel is down on Swift because they want to raise the voting age, an she wants everyone to register to vote.

[Two Bills]

Just listened to a few of her recordings, and can't say I think she has a great voice, and the songs don't do a lot for me, but hey ho, I am just an old guy, so I'm probably wrong.
My view of today's "stars," it is more about the PR and notoriety, than talent.
I remember once dismissing a young lady singer, Amy Winehouse, as "weird" until I heard her sing.
I just thought, 'Girl, you can be as weird as you want, with a voice like that!'
She was pure talent. What a loss.

Amy Winehouse was very good along with the lost too soon Whitney Houston.

Then don't watch...geez Louise

[charlieo1126@gmail.com]

I don’t get the Taylor haters ,I much more prefer them showing her picture jumping up and down along with other happy fans ,then the pictures of frowning owners and GM looking like they have been caught at doing something wrong by the police.She’s bringing more fans to the game I love ,will they stay who knows but it’s a fun ride so when they pan the camera onto her relax and smile because it’s better then showing Bill Belichick or Jerry Jones after a bad play looking like there going to lose there lunch. FYI I like her music and plan on seeing the concert movie and I’m a guy who has seen Sinatra live at least a dozen times

[Bogie Shooter]

Is this Louise a friend of Karen’s? :shrug:

Sounds like you need to see her without football in the background. Head to the movies and watch - Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour. Let us know how you like it.

[mikeycereal]

I'd rather see her during games than Madonna who's had so much surgery that she looks like the madame puppet from the 80's. Just Ew. Swift doesn't bother me at all but I can't name 1 song she does.

[Escape Artist]

Am I the only one who is tired of seeing Taylor Swift at football games? Who cares?

I bet we wouldn’t see her if the Chiefs were losing. In fact,that would probably be the end of their relationship.

[bopat]

I'd rather watch her than Mahomes

[mikemalloy]

Watching her standing and smiling in a booth was about as exciting as watching the Chief and Broncos. What a snoozer.

[Stu from NYC]

She does not add to the game. Who needs to see her.

[allsport]

She is selling out stadiums that could not sell their tickets and Travis and Taylor are having a great time, let them alone.

[Tcole]

Boomers be booming!

[OrangeBlossomBaby]

Halftime doesn't add to the game. Commercials don't add to the game. Pre-game shows don't add to the game.

Maybe just play it live, uninterrupted, no half-time, no narrative, no "hosts" explaining things, and let everyone watch it from start to finish, and then it's over.

Or...

Have all those things, and have the NFL and networks deal with who gets to entertain during half-time. Go empty your bowels of all the nachos you ate in the first half, during half-time. At least you won't miss the first down of the third quarter.

There's a song for everything. I think some of our fellow geezers are just mad that they have no rhythm and can't dance or sing. They are miserable when confronted with the fact that everyone else is having fun doing both.

They had a very surprising contestant on The Masked Singer the other night.

Her birthday is November 22, 1943.

Better do what my son taught us to do.dvr the game and start watching say an hour into game and zap thru commercials and half time and other time wasters. Catch up to kive action in 4th qtr.
