Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are seemingly still going strong … but the number of folks tuning in for updates as Taylor cheers TK on dipped as Taylor went back for seconds.
The TV ratings are in … Sunday night’s telecast of NBC’s Sunday Night Football saw 20.31 million viewers for a matchup between Travis’ Kansas City Chiefs and the New York Jets.

The overall figure was the biggest on TV last night, but it’s 4 million less than last Sunday’s Chiefs game, which drew 24.32 million … the first time Taylor cheered on Travis from a suite.
Of course, last week’s Chiefs game was on a different network, FOX instead of this week’s NBC, and in a different time slot … 4:25 PM ET kickoff instead of this week’s 8:20 PM ET start.
There was a lot more hype around Taylor and Travis heading into the Chief-Jets game, though, and even more star power in the second week.
NBC constantly panned to Taylor during the broadcast … she was in a suite with Sophie Turner, Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Hugh Jackman and Sabrina Carpenter … just to name a few.

Taylor’s new bestie, Brittany Mahomes, also joined Taylor in the suite … ditto for Travis’ mother, Donna, who got a big hug from Taylor.

Before the game, Travis was spotted leaving Taylor’s NYC apartment before heading over to New Jersey for his game … but they left MetLife Stadium separately, unlike last week in Kansas City when they drove off in a convertible.
Travis and the Chiefs are on CBS next Sunday … for a 4:25 PM ET kickoff on the road against the Minnesota Vikings — and it will be interesting if Taylor shows up for her third game in a row, and how the final TV ratings shake out.
Stay tuned …
