Dierks Bentley loves football and watches as many NFL games as he can and says Taylor Swift is making it easier to do that. That’s because, since she's dating Kansas City Chiefs player, Travis Kelce… and spotlighted during the game, his 2 daughters are more interested in watching.

 

With the Big Game coming up this Sunday, we asked Dierks if he’ll be watching with the kids. And… who he picks to win:

 

“I have been watching every single playoff game. It’s the great thing. In my house is the Kansas City Chiefs because my daughters love Taylor (Swift). Any dad out there that has daughters knows what I’m talking about. She has made football much easier to watch at my house. Everybody’s down with it now, so I’ve been able to watch a lot of playoff games with my family, which is amazing. I’m not out there in the garage. I’m allowed to be in the main part of the house watching football, and it’s so fun. As far as the Super Bowl goes, I have no idea who’s going to win, but I’m there for the whole thing. I’m there for the pre-show concerts, the introductions, our National Anthem, the half-time show and of course, the game. It’s going to be awesome. I have no idea who’s going to win, but I just hope Taylor Swift makes her flight from Japan back to the game, because that’s what we all want to see. That’s going to be the most followed flight. It’ll be followed more than the Santa Tracker.”
