Taylor Swift complains during VMAs for being called "Ma'am" after winning award with Post Malone

Taylor Swift's"Eras Tour" is approaching its grand finale. Having recently returned from her European leg, Swift is taking a brief hiatus before resuming her tour in the U.S. Her next concert is scheduled for October 18in Miami. This break coincides perfectly with the first five weeks of the NFL season, allowing Swift to support Kansas City Chiefs' tight end Travis Kelce, as she did during her European tour. The "Eras Tour," set to conclude in Canada on December 8, is already the highest-grossing tour of all time, generating over a billion dollars from 152 shows across five continents. With her break aligning with the season's first five weeks, as well as the final four weeks and playoff games, Swift's presence is expected to amplify NFL interest even further.

Taylor Swift and Post Malone Win at VMAs

At the 40th edition of the VMAs, Taylor Swift and Post Malone took home the award for 'Best Collaboration' with their song "Fortnight." During her acceptance speech, Swift paid tribute to the victims of 9/11, emphasizing its significance. She also praised Post Malone, highlighting his status as a favored collaborator. Swift humorously mentioned that Malone had persistently addressed her as "ma'am," stating, "It has taken me forever to get him to stop calling me 'ma'am.'"

This win marks Swift's third time receiving the 'Best Collaboration' award, tying her with Beyonc for the most wins in this category. Previous wins were in 2015 for "Bad Blood" with Kendrick Lamar-who will headline the Super Bowl halftime show in New Orleans-and in 2017 for "I Don't Wanna Live Forever" with ZAYN. Swift continues to cement her legacy as a dominant figure in pop music.

Taylor Swift's Influence on Voting

Given her significant influence, particularly among younger audiences, Swift recently used her Instagram platform to encourage voter registration and publicly support Democrat Kamala Harris. With the November 5 elections approaching, Swift's endorsement could sway younger voters significantly.

Swift's impact extends beyond music to the NFL, where her presence has noticeably boosted viewership. Last season, she attended 13 Chiefs games, including the Super Bowl, often becoming a media focal point. This season, her influence is already evident, as the Chiefs play on every day of the week except Tuesday-an NFL first-showcasing the so-called "Taylor effect." Her appearances at games have drawn immense attention from her vast fanbase, amplifying interest in the league.
