The NFL is happy to have Taylor Swift around!
NFL很高興有泰勒·斯威夫特!
On Monday, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell professed his appreciation for the Midnights singer, 34, and her love for football. He said in a press conference before the 2024 Super Bowl that she has had a “wonderful” effect on viewership since she began dating Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce last year.
周一,NFL總裁羅杰·古德爾表達了對這位34歲的《午夜》歌手以及她對足球的熱愛的贊賞。他在2024年超級碗之前的新聞發(fā)布會上說,自從她去年開始與堪薩斯城酋長隊的近端鋒特拉維斯·凱爾斯約會以來,她對收視率產(chǎn)生了“奇妙”的影響。
“I think it's great to have her a part of it,” Goodell, 64, said. “It creates a buzz, it creates another group of young fans — particularly young women — that are interested in seeing, ‘Why is she going to this game? Why is she interested in this game?’”
64歲的古德爾說:“我覺得讓她參與其中很棒。”“這引起了轟動,它創(chuàng)造了另一群年輕球迷,尤其是年輕女性,他們有興趣看到,‘她為什么要去看這場比賽?她為什么對這個游戲感興趣?’”
“Besides Travis, she is a football fan, and I think that's great for us," he continued.
“除了特拉維斯,她也是一個足球迷,我認(rèn)為這對我們來說是件好事,”他繼續(xù)說道。
Goodell also noted that more people are tuning in because of the “great competition” among teams this year. He said 70% of NFL games have “been within one score in the fourth quarter.”
古德爾還指出,越來越多的人收看比賽是因為今年參賽隊伍之間的“激烈競爭”。他說,70%的NFL比賽“在第四節(jié)只差一分”。
Nonetheless, he said he can’t deny that the “Taylor Swift Effect” has boosted ratings.
盡管如此,他說他不能否認(rèn)“泰勒·斯威夫特效應(yīng)”提高了收視率。
“Having the ‘Taylor Swift Effect’ is also positive,” he admitted. “Both Travis and Taylor are wonderful young people and they seem very happy. She knows great entertainment, and that's why she loves NFL football.”
“‘泰勒·斯威夫特效應(yīng)’也是積極的,”他承認(rèn)。“特拉維斯和泰勒都是很棒的年輕人,他們看起來很幸福。她知道很棒的娛樂,這就是她喜歡NFL足球的原因。”
When asked about rumors that Swift’s involvement at the games are “scripted,” Goodell laughed it off and denied anything was set-up.
當(dāng)被問及霉霉參與比賽的傳言時,古德爾一笑置之,否認(rèn)有任何安排。
“There's no way that I could have scripted that one,” he said.
他說:“我不可能把那個劇本寫出來。”
Goodell added that he sees where fans’ passion for Swift comes from, having attended two of the pop superstar’s Eras Tour shows with his daughters and wife.
古德爾補充說,他知道粉絲們對斯威夫特的熱情來自哪里,他曾帶著女兒和妻子參加過這位流行巨星的兩場“時代巡演”。
“She is a remarkable performer, she knows great entertainment,” he said, adding, “She‘s the best of the best so having her come to NFL games, having her part of that, is nothing but a positive.”
“她是一名出色的表演者,她懂得娛樂,”他說,并補充說,“她是最棒的,所以讓她來看NFL比賽,讓她參與其中,除了積極之外什么都不是。”
Goodell isn’t the only one who is happy about Swift’s impact on the NFL since she began dating Kelce, 34. FOX Sports broadcaster Erin Andrews recently told PEOPLE that the Grammy winner is broadening the audience and encouraging women to become invested in the sport.
自從霉霉開始和34歲的Kelce約會以來,古德爾并不是唯一一個對霉霉對NFL的影響感到高興的人。??怂贵w育廣播員艾琳·安德魯斯最近告訴《人物》雜志,這位格萊美獎得主正在擴大觀眾群體,并鼓勵女性參與這項運動。
"I've been very passionate and emotional about it. I think it's amazing," Andrews, 45, said during an interview for her clothing line, WEAR by Erin Andrews, on Monday. "I feel so bad for people who are having any sort of issue with it."
“我一直對此充滿激情和情感。我覺得這太棒了,”45歲的安德魯斯周一在為她的服裝品牌WEAR by Erin Andrews接受采訪時說。“我為那些對此有任何問題的人感到難過。”
