Ahead of their Week 5 showdown, Minnesota Vikings cornerback Byron Murphy Jr. is excited, especially with the possibility of pop icon Taylor Swift attending. Speaking to ESPN's Kevin Seifert, Murphy shared plans to leverage Swift's presence to rattle Kelce during the game.
While acknowledging the NFL's evident delight in the rumored Swift-Kelce relationship, Murphy said, «I'm going to say something to him to get him going. Is she attending? That would be something. Watching her as a kid, seeing her now would be cool, especially if we could challenge Kelce in her presence.»
The relationship has seemingly been a boon for Kelce; his jersey sales have soared by 400%, and his social media followers have surged. Meanwhile, the NFL's social media showcased Swift supporting the Chiefs.
The Vikings, after clinching their first season win, now face the 3-1 Chiefs, aiming to disrupt their winning momentum.
