How America Drinks™

Who Drinks More: Chiefs Fans or Taylor Swift Fans?

Chiefs and Taylor Swift fans are going head-to-head... so we're measuring them BAC-to-BAC.

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift's budding romance has been pitting "cranky NFL fans" and Swifties against each other.

At BACtrack, we decided to add to the conversation in the best way we know how - through measuring BAC (blood alcohol content) levels.

As part of our How America Drinks™ series, our analytics team examined data from people using BACtrack smartphone breathalyzers. We analyzed 28,000 unique breathalyzer readings taken across the US to help us answer: Who drinks more - Kansas City Chiefs fans or Taylor Swift fans?

Short answer: Taylor Swift fans drink more.

If you want the long answer - along with the answers to some others, plus our methodology - keep reading.


How did we measure fans' BAC levels?

And what else did we find?

For this analysis, we examined all of Taylor's concerts in 2023 and in the US. We collected breathalyzer readings from users in the area where each concert was held, on the day of the concert, to determine Swifties' average alcohol consumption.

We then compared Swifties' average BAC level to the average of fan BAC levels for each NFL team - not just the Kansas City Chiefs.

Turns out, Taylor Swift fans also outdrink 10 other teams (11 including the Chiefs).


While we were at it, we also compared Swifties' average BAC to the average consumption of all NFL fans.

The result: NFL fans, as a whole, drink more than Taylor Swift fans.


A Final Word

The Taylor Swift/Travis Kelce union has ignited tensions among NFL fans - many of whom are less than thrilled to have their football TV coverage interrupted by glimpses of Taylor - and the fervent Taylor Swift fans (her "Swifties") who support her.

Hence the hot takes flooding our feeds, from NFL fans...


... and Taylor Swift supporters alike.


So, while the social media wars rage on... the BAC battle, at least, has already been decided.

Methodology

2023-2024 NFL Season Data

Chiefs Fans' % BAC

On February 11, while you're tracking the score... we'll be tracking the BAC (blood alcohol content) of NFL fans nationwide during the game.

As part of our How America Drinks™ series, the BACtrack data science team will be analyzing thousands of app-connected breathalyzer readings to answer one big question about the big game:

How will America drink during the 2024 Super Bowl?

Specifically:

  • The 49ers are expected to outplay the Chiefs... but will 49ers fans outdrink the opposition?
  • Will NFL fans in Las Vegas - in their excitement around hosting this epic event - have particularly high BAC levels? 
  • How much will America, on average, drink during the Super Bowl?
  • How will America's drinking levels rise and fall throughout the game?
  • How does it all compare? What does it all mean?

The next day, on February 12, we'll reveal the results in the How America Drinks™: Super Bowl LVIII report.
