Michael Strahan has recently been very positive about Taylor Swift’s role around the NFL. His main point is that her presence has helped the league, not hurt it.
Main comment he made
Strahan has said that “sports have leaked into pop culture” and called it “a win for everyone,” adding that Taylor Swift is “one of the best things to happen to the NFL.” He argues that Swift and her relationship with Travis Kelce have brought new viewers to football, especially women and younger fans.
Context and reaction
He made these comments at a sports business conference and on TV while discussing the so‑called “Taylor Swift effect” on NFL ratings and attention. The remarks drew mixed reactions from traditional NFL fans, with some criticizing him for overstating her impact, but others agreeing that she has clearly boosted interest and viewership.
