JJ says the fan frenzy over Swift's rumored romance with the Chiefs star is "two mega worlds colliding"
JJ and Kealia Watt are certified Swifties!
The couple spoke to PEOPLE on behalf of their new Miller Lite ad, and raved about 12-time Grammy winner Taylor Swift's influence.
"I think it just shows how amazing she is," Kealia, 31, says of Swift's impact on the NFL after the singer cheered for Travis Kelce at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday. According to FOX Sports, the game was the week’s highest-rated telecast on any network, with 24.3 million viewers.
"She's an icon, She's the most famous person in the world, probably. So I think it just shows what a badass she is," Kealia tells PEOPLE.
JJ, currently an NFL analyst for CBS Sports, says the fan frenzy over Swift's rumored romance with the Chiefs star is "two mega worlds colliding."
The former Arizona Cardinal says, "I think the ratings are going to go even higher every single week for the Chiefs games, which is hard because they were already one of the best teams in the league."
JJ adds, "It's exciting. I'm happy for them and hope it all works out."
In March, Kealia and JJ attended one of Swift's Eras Tour shows in Arizona. "I was so impressed by the three-hour plus concert with no breaks. It really is an impressive, incredible sequence," the former NFL star says.
JJ continues, "You have to respect it. Just as a pure artist, it's very impressive. You have to respect the concert that she puts on."
Swift's star power on stage converted JJ to a genuine fan of the singer's music, his wife says. "Before the concert, he didn't listen to her all the time, but he liked her. And then after the concert, I will come home, and he'll have her playing. He loves Taylor Swift."

The couple agrees it's difficult to pick a favorite track from Swift's impressive discography, but Kealia says she typically has the singer's most recent album "Midnights" on rotation these days.
"It's hard to pick a song. I love 'Karma,' and I love all of 'Midnights' right now because it's newer, but I love 'Cardigan' too," referencing a track on Swift's "Folklore" album from 2020.
JJ says his favorite song by Swift is "Don't Blame Me" from her 2017 album "Reputation."
