1 CommentIt’s February again, and love is in the air. For football fans, this month is all about the love of the game, with Super Bowl LVIII just around the corner. And for the romantics, February brings the year’s biggest celebration of love: Valentine’s Day.
This year, love and sports are colliding in a big way on game day, with fans entranced by a certain blossoming romance.
Since early in the season, it’s been almost impossible to talk about football without talking about Taylor Swift. When she showed up to support Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce during a game in September, the world collectively lost its mind – and things haven’t been the same since.
In this post, we take a look at Amazon market data from Jungle Scout Cobalt to see how football’s biggest love story is influencing shopping trends ahead of the big game.
