She is the most famous pop star on earth and is set to make a billion dollars (not an exaggeration) from her current tour.
Why would Travis Kelce care about any of that shite?

I hope that helps.
It doesn’t.

True.

She’s worth probably close to a billion $ and not ugly. What dude wouldn’t want that?
As I understand it, the cost is having an unflattering song written about you, or at least associated with you.
It’s just marketing, people. As are most very public celebrity relationships

I’m racking my brain to think of an American artist that is out-performing T-Swift on her current tour, though.
The Weeknd is the only American artist with similar numbers. He's also doing a stadium tour. His tour doesn't have nearly as many stops as hers did though.
edit: The Weeknd isn't an American artist.

Are you joking?
Latching on to her gets him infinitely more famous which leads to more endorsements and opportunities after football and more money.

The Weeknd is Canadian. His After Hours til Dawn tour kicked off in July of 2022.

She looks awkward as hell. The bangs. Plain as can be. Lacks any ounce of sexuality.
Ever stop to think that because men think this about her, it works in her favor with her target audience? She's more relatable to them because she looks closer to normal.

Ryan Adams did cool covers of her songs?

Yup.
It also helps her that she didn't start out overly sexualized like other pop stars, never really went that route, and hasn't gone insane or gone off the deep end with drugs or anything.

Looks aren’t everything when you are worth $1B.

BTS Built To Spill?
No
K-pop boy band. They first blew up in the U.S. about 6 years ago. So, ask any girl in her lower 20’s, and they’re probably a fan. They also have gotten more than a few of their songs into big tv commercials and tv shows. The normie college-aged people I know pretty much exclusively listen to either alt-country like Morgan Wallen and Jelly Roll or to K-pop music like BTS and Blackpink (in addition to Taylor Swift). The “alt” ones listen to Sleep Token, Billy Eilish, Deftones, Pierce the Veil, and My Chemical Romance.
BTS - Butter

Kelce lived in Gronks shadow for way too long. Kelce was jealous and probably still is of Gronk
This is his flex to prove to the world that he exist and he’s better than Gronk

My 50 year old wife is a BTS fan. Her and a girlfriend went to Vegas last year for one of their shows.

I'm with you OP, I dont get it either. But I'm also 42 and nowhere near her target audience (or the target audience of any pop culture icon), so I dont give a frick. When I was a teenager, people in their 40s didnt understand why I liked what I liked I'm sure. Who cares. I still listen to the same bands and artists I listened to in my teens and 20s for the most part, and it doesnt affect me one single bit if people are obsessed with Taylor Swift.

Skinny, flat, definitely a b in real life, that’s why she can’t keep a man

She does make me appreciate the fact I grew up in an era when the female pop and rock vocalists were Carly Simon, Linda Ronstadt, Karen Carpenter, Olivia Newton-John, Ann Wilson, etc.
Hell, as much as she is an insufferable twat, Barbra Streisand was as talented a singer as has ever been on stage and she was still producing mega-hits when I was a kid.
In this age of autotune and widespread lip-synch performances, it's hard to tell who is actually talented.

One song, she's wallowing in Junior High level relationship drama. The next, she's wailing and carrying on because some "Chad" player used her as a human flesh-light. The next after that, she's singing about how great it is hooking up with random Chad players at the club. The next after that, she's singing about how great and special it is that Chad uses her as a booty call every now and then.
so white women like music as indecisive as they are

You just described almost every white woman in the 80's, 90's and 00's.

Real football fans already know he's better than Gronk.
