Since Taylor Swift and Kansas City star Travis Kelce became a couple, interest in the team has skyrocketed. Several times per match when Kansas City plays, the cameras and spotlights are directed at the stands and the gigantic pop star.
And maybe it's just the "Swift effect", as it's been called in the USA, that's the recipe for success. Because now Kansas City has clearly made it to their third straight NFL final in American football after beating Buffalo 32-29.
"New feeling"
Kelce had a hard time putting his feelings into words after the third straight success.
It's a new feeling now, I'm really pumped. But I know there are bigger things right now, and that's beating Philadelphia in New Orleans, says Kelce after the match.
Afterwards, he shared a kiss with the pop star on the inner field.
Last year, Swift's presence or absence at the Super Bowl was one of the big talking points. In the end, she showed up in Las Vegas and stole the show.
And during the Super Bowl in New Orleans on February 9, the case won't be any different.
"Lost for words"
Kansas quarterback and superstar Patrick Mahomes scored two touchdowns and passed for a third.
Kansas City can make history as the first team to win three straight NFL titles.
After the win, Mahomes was speechless.
That was an amazing team, he says, referring to the opponents, and continues:
I'm... I've completely lost for words. I'm so excited about New Orleans, says Mahomes about the upcoming Super Bowl final.
