The exciting first game of the season between the Kansas City Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens set a new record as the most viewed opening NFL game in history, as reported by NBC.
Statistics reveal that the number of viewers reached its highest point at 33 million during the second quarter of the match, in which the Chiefs secured a thrilling 27-20 victory.
Supporters were eager to see football come back and to see Taylor Swift return to Arrowhead Stadium to cheer on her boyfriend Travis Kelce.
A second match from last season's AFC Championship game was viewed by an average of 28.9 million people on NBC and its streaming platform, Peacock.
It surpassed the number of people watching last season's first game, where the Detroit Lions surprised the Chiefs, by five percent.
The Chiefs' exciting victory against the Ravens was the most viewed season opener in NFL history.
Swift observed as Kelce and the Chiefs emerged victorious over the Ravens in a tense finish on Thursday.
The large number of people watching the TV show were not let down, as the excitement on the field culminated in a thrilling video review.
The Ravens believed they had equalized the score at 27-27 when time ran out, but the referees ruled that tight end Isaiah Likely had stepped out of bounds when he caught Lamar Jackson's pass.
Chiefs rookie Xavier Worthy had an outstanding NFL debut, demonstrating his impressive speed by scoring two touchdowns.
Kelce didn't have a very busy night compared to his usual performance, so the camera didn't focus on Swift in her fancy suite as much as expected during the NBC broadcast.
The singer looked amazing in a denim outfit and high boots as she sat next to Kelce's dad, Ed. Later on, Swift was also seen sitting with his mom, Donna.
The New York Post posted photos of the pair getting on a plane to New York last Friday.
Kelce was easily seen wearing a baseball hat, t-shirt, and shorts, while his girlfriend shielded her face from photographers using an umbrella.
The pair has been spotted together in New York City previously. In October 2023, they unexpectedly showed up on Saturday Night Live and later had dinner at the Waverley Inn.

The couple traveled to the east coast, where Swift owns multiple properties, following a wild night of celebrating the Chiefs' win.
Following their victory over Baltimore in a rematch of last year's AFC title game, the Chiefs celebrated with a party at a fancy rooftop bar located a short 20-minute drive from Arrowhead Stadium.
As reported by Page Six, Kelce informed his fellow players that he was planning to host an event at Prime Social and that everyone on the team was welcome to attend.
Swift, who left the stadium alongside Kelce in a golf cart, seemed to be having a good time, according to a source from Page Six who said, "Taylor had a bit too much to drink."
Kelce supposedly reserved the whole cocktail bar for the occasion, and several members of the Kansas City Chiefs team and their partners also attended.
This consisted of Swift and, as per sources from DailyMail.com, Brittany Mahomes.
Reports indicate that there is no animosity between the pair, despite speculation of a possible disagreement and both individuals watching the game from different boxes on Thursday night.
