Today is the day when the sports world and the music world officially come together. Now, if that confused you, here is the explanation. Star Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and mega music star Taylor Swift just announced their engagement via social media today. Now, Nebraska fans may be wondering what in the world that would matter to them.
Well, this week, Nebraska is set to take on the Cincinnati Bearcats, the team Kelce played for in college, and they are set to play in Arrowhead Stadium, the stadium Kelce currently plays in. It has also been reported that Kelce intends to be at the game on Thursday, so with this news, how many times will the camera pan to the future Hall of Fame tight end?
Just like how many NFL fans have grown tired of contantly seeing Swift on their screens, now Nebraska fans will probably grow tired very quickly of the number of times Kelce will undowutbly be on their screens because of this news.

Matters could be worse if Swift ends up attending the game with Kelce on Thursday. Of course, this is very happy news and all of the congratulations go to the happy couple, but let's keep this game on Thursday about the young men who have worked hard all offseason to come out and play an electric season opener.
This game needs to remain about the two teams on the field, not about what is happening off the field, and more importantly, not about what is happening in the stands. Kelce himself will be there to support his former team and show love to the team that got him to the league, so let's all keep our attention on that.
The one upside to this is that many people could now tune into the game in the hope of seeing the happy couple at the game, so more eyes could be on this game than anyone thought. That is the one amazing thing Swift has brought to football is getting more eyes on the sport than ever.
