Taylor Swift’s massive Eras Tour is having a surprising impact on the NFL.
The first leg of the tour avoided the NFL season by happening during the off-season. However, the US leg returning later in 2024 falls right in the middle of the football schedule.
The NFL acknowledged having to consider Swift’s tour dates while creating the 2024 schedule. This wasn’t about making it easier for her to see boyfriend Travis Kelce play, but avoiding conflicts with stadium availability.
Here’s where things get interesting. The final nine US shows of the Eras Tour are at three NFL stadiums: Hard Rock Stadium (Miami Dolphins), Caesars Superdome (New Orleans Saints), and Lucas Oil Stadium (Indianapolis Colts). These teams will be on the road during those weekends to avoid scheduling conflicts with the concerts.
