It's a business and they are trying to sell the most well rounded product they can.
It was announced that Taylor's presence this year has been worth over $300 million to the Chiefs/NFL. Ratings for the Chiefs non Peacock playoff games have also broken records. That's a nice payoff for a pretty small investment, complainer be damned.
Personally I think Taylor Swift is a sweetheart and I think it's cool that her power has brought a lot of young ladies to the sport, even if it is only to see her for a few seconds at a time.
I don't watch any pregame shows because I don't care about opinions or human interest stuff. It's pretty easy to do.

When it is announced during my K-State MBB game last night that, “Taylor Swift has officially arrived in Las Vegas after a long day of travel”, on a network not even hosting the SB, shit is out of hand.
I’m tuning in to watch sports, not Access Hollywood or Entertainment Tonight.
That being said, celebrities have always been a part of the SB experience, so today is an expected free pass.
