Pat McAfee's review of Taylor Swift's concert in Indianapolis has gone viral. The response itself is also gaining the attention of other figures associated with college football.

One of these is Kristen Saban. The daughter of former Alabama Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban wrote a message on Instagram in the comments of McAfee's video.

“Pat McAfee 🤝 Swifties.”

In McAfee's review of the show, he (among other things) praises the atmosphere that Swift and her fans helped to create.

"It was an experience. It was the coolest, most electrifying environment I have ever been in my entire life.

The show itself brought 69,000 people into Lucas Oil Stadium, which is slightly more than the around 68,500 people who attended Super Bowl LXVI in 2012 at the stadium

The praise of the artist will resonate with many fans, and is another example of Taylor Swift being able to be mentioned in the world of sports, something that many other artists could only dream about.

Did McAfee curse the Indianapolis Colts?

However, McAfee may have not been paying 100% attention to the events at Lucus Oil Stadium that evening.

This is because McAfee's former team (and usual tenants of the stadium), the Indianapolis Colts, were facing the Minnesota Vikings on "Sunday Night Football". The game was happening at the same time as the Taylor Swift concert.

During the first half of the game, the Colts were the stronger team, especially on defense, where they were able to stop the Vikings from scoring any points in the first half.

This led McAfee to post this on social media.

"THIS COLTS D IS EATINNNNN,...Couple missed kicks... jitters are high. Big fight feel Colts are gonna win the Super Bowl."

However, McAfee's hopes of a Colts Super Bowl win, and the Colts' strong defense disappeared in the second half of the game. Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold threw three touchdowns in the second half to hand Minnesota a 21-13 win over the Colts to send Indianapolis to 4-5 on the season.

After these events, McAfee received some criticism online, mostly from Taylor Swift fans.

They claimed that the Colts losing was a consequence of McAfee not paying full attention to the Taylor Swift concert and an example of the so-called "TayVooDoo" curse.

In the end, while the Colts lost their game, it seemed that McAfee (like many others) had a enjoyable experience at the concert which will be an experience that he and his family will never forget.
