Why are folks tuning in to this year's Super Bowl? Many claim it's not for the game.

As excitement builds for Super Bowl LVIII, not everyone is gearing up to watch football.

"Personally, I'm tuning in for Taylor Swift," Olivia shared with Fox News on Nashville's iconic Broadway street. "Football isn't my thing, but I'm a fan of hers."

Jen agreed, saying, "I think most people are watching for Taylor Swift, definitely."

Sarah added, "I love football, but being a Swiftie, it's like getting the best of both worlds."

The San Francisco 49ers are set to take on the Kansas City Chiefs in Las Vegas on Sunday evening. The defending champs have grabbed attention this season due to Swift’s relationship with Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce and her frequent appearances at their games, attracting a new demographic of football fans.

Some welcome the influx of new viewers, while others aren't as thrilled.

"I think it's good because it's bringing more women to watch the NFL," Allison said.

John, a devoted Chiefs fan, found it all entertaining. "I'm happy Travis seems to be enjoying it, and I'm all for it," he shared with Fox News.

However, not everyone shares the same sentiment.

Jen criticized Swift and her relationship as overrated, opting out of tuning in this year.

Mark voiced concern that the attention on the singer detracts from the game. "Everyone has their preferences, but the focus should stay on the game, not her," he opined.

Haley, a Swift fan and football lover, defended the singer against unwarranted criticism. "She didn't ask to be the center of NFL attention," Haley argued. "She's just famous, that's all."

Olivia urged detractors to let Swift's supporters have their moment. "If they prefer football, that's fine. Let people enjoy what they like. Let Taylor be."
