Swift found herself thrust into the Super Bowl spotlight thanks to her relationship with Travis Kelce, who’s a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs. However, despite the fact that she didn’t actually play in the Super Bowl, certain viewers just couldn’t shake the feeling that Swift got way too much camera time. To be clear, all Swift did was sit in the stands, and show support for Kelce, all while the broadcast intermittently cut to her and her friends. Fans expressed frustration with the singer, feeling that she detracted from the game, neglecting to realize that Swift doesn’t control the camerapeople. However, a closer examination of the facts reveals a different story. One Reddit user took it upon themselves to meticulously track Swift’s on-screen time during the Super Bowl broadcast.

In a game that stretched over four hours, Swift’s appearances amounted to a mere 54 seconds, spread across 12 instances. Meaning, that Super Bowl viewers spent a total of less than one minute looking at Taylor Swift. To put things in perspective even more, it’s estimated that if Swift had used those 50 seconds towards an ad, it would’ve been worth $12.4 million in that same time span. It’s also worth noting that 27 seconds worth of the game were spent showing Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas, 23 seconds were spent on the infamous Sphere, and 22 seconds showed Post Malone drinking.

So, while some may have been quick to point fingers at Swift for “ruining” the Super Bowl, the reality is that her impact on the event was minimal at best.

Patrick Mahomes has blamed himself after a dropped pass by Marquez Valdes-Scantling led to a defeat by the Chiefs.

The missed catch could have turned the game in Kansas City’s favor, but Mahomes refrained from blaming his teammate, accepted responsibility by focusing on his role in the chastening defeat, and instead called for collective improvement in future performances.

When questioned about Valdes-Scantling’s pivotal drop that cost the Chiefs a potential lead, Mahomes opted for humility over blame. The 51-yard touchdown pass, if successful, would have dramatically changed the course of the game.

Despite the Chiefs’ receivers leading the league in drops this season, Mahomes refrained from criticizing his teammate and acknowledged his role in the play. He suggested that a slightly shorter throw from his behalf could have secured the catch and turned the fate of the match.

Despite the disappointing loss, Mahomes remains committed to the journey of improvement. This mindset is important for a team facing challenges, particularly as the Chiefs struggled to score in the second half, averaging an NFL-worst 5.3 points per game.

The focus now shifts to future games, a lesson that we can all learn in our own lives. In the words of Rocky Balboa, it’s not about how many times you get knocked down, it’s about how many times you can pick yourself back up. You can do it Patrick Mahomes.
