Christen Goff is showing love to Taylor Swift.

The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model, 33, spoke on the latest episode of PEOPLE's WAG World series about the 14-time Grammy winner's influence on the football community since she started dating Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

As the wife of Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff, Christen is no stranger to the NFL, having been on the scene for several years as the partner of the star player. However, she tells host Skyler Caruso that she's noticed a shift in both the sport and her own audience due to Swift's presence.

In the beginning, Christen — who was first linked to Goff in 2019 before the couple tied the knot in 2024 — pointed out that her social media following was largely male, especially once she entered the football world.

"It's actually been really interesting to see how my audience has changed over the years," Christen says on WAG World, PEOPLE's recently launched app exclusive digital series. "Now there's so many women interested in sports."

"I've really seen my audience shift and I think we can honestly owe that to people like Taylor Swift, bringing so many eyes to the world of football and all sports," she continues. "It's been fun because I feel like I used to only get angry DMs from fantasy football guys, mad about their lineup or whatever."

"And now I get so many girls that are interested in what's going on in my life," Christen says, adding, "I think that's just been so fun to kind of see that transition."

Swift and Kelce, both 36, announced their engagement in August 2025, two years after they began dating. They met after the Chiefs tight end revealed that he tried to give the pop star a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it at one of her Eras Tour concerts.

Although Kelce was unsuccessful, he publicly declared his interest in Swift on his New Heights podcast in July 2023. They've supported each other in their respective fields — concerts, Chiefs games and awards shows — ever since, and are now planning their wedding.

Christen and Goff, 31, have a sweet love story of their own, having met on the dating app Raya with little expectations of finding romance. The couple has since become parents to daughter Romy, who arrived last July.

"This year will be so fun because I feel like she'll come to a few more games and know a little bit more what's going on," Christen says of her little girl. "Last year, she was so little. I think she was only three months at our first game. I was more just like focused on her and like keeping her alive."

"So I'm excited to experience this next football season with her so she can like clap and get involved," she continues. "It's been so fun. Days are a little crazier. My outfits have taken a little bit of like a backseat on game day. Her outfits kind of have stepped forward."
