The Kansas City Chiefs and Dallas Cowboys have a pivotal game against each other on Thanksgiving Day. Taylor Swift is engaged to Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, of course, and even though she’s not expected to be at the game since it’s an away game, she’s making news anyway.
What makes this Chiefs and Cowboys game so crucial is that both teams have a lot on the line. The Kansas City Chiefs’ record going into this game is 6-5, while the Dallas Cowboys are 5-5-1, so they’re pretty much even when it comes to where they stand in the NFL at this point in the season.
Because this game is so important, and also because both franchises are powerhouses, viewership research estimates that this game could fetch 50 million viewers, which would be higher than the current NFL record of 42.1 million from Thanksgiving Day 2022, when the New York Giants went up against the Dallas Cowboys.
So, this is an important game for Swift to miss. But, she has security concerns, which is understandable. She’s also still busy promoting her latest album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” which arrived on October 3. That’s where her big news comes in, and it’s quite a Thanksgiving treat.
