Elena Yates could be the Ravens’ version of Taylor Swift

The presence of Taylor Swift at Kansas City Chiefs games was arguably the lead national story of this past NFL season. How you feel about that development is up to you, and opinions on it certainly do vary, but the fact remains.  Swift is such a pop culture force of nature that she directly impacts everything from Pop-Tarts to minor league hockey teams.

Her in person support of boyfriend Travis Kelce greatly raised the profile of the Chiefs and the National Football League itself. Which naturally inspires every other NFL team, including the Baltimore Ravens, to ask itself- who is our player celebrity girlfriend/wife?

For Baltimore, the answer could be Elena Yates, girlfriend of star tight end Mark Andrews. Her presence on the sideline at the AFC Championship loss to the Chiefs as mentioned earlier (Swift was there as well, but in a skybox) attracted a lot of media coverage, including the likes of The Sun, New York Post, and even Mundo Deportivo.

“Loved watching you do what you do best,” Yates wrote with a purple heart emoji on the Instagram post capturing Andrews and herself on the M&T Bank Stadium sideline.

“Can’t wait to be back & better than ever!! Until next season.”

Andrews posted a heart-eye emoji in the comments section of the post.

Now we’re not saying Yates is on par with Swift, or on her way to becoming the next Tay-Tay. This is just about making a player celeb girlfriend analogy. We have to mention that because we don’t need the Swifties coming after us.

Ooh, Look what you made me do. Look what you just made me do. Yates, a native of Morristown, NJ is a self-described Social Media Ambassador while some media outlets have labeled her a Tik Tok Influencer.

These job titles vary in description based on whom you are talking to, and their actual meaning could change by the time you finish reading this article.

It means “someone who is very internet famous, has many followers online, and sometimes gets paid to post stuff on social media.” Yates, 21, hasn’t picked a career yet, as she is still in school. According to various reports, she is a senior at the College of Charleston, majoring in marketing, and a member of the Tri Delt sorority.

With close to 100,000 followers on Tik Tok, and about 25,000 more on IG, she is confident to go viral whenever the media documents her attending Ravens games again this season.

Swift has a similar story of her own. Tay was on the sidelines (along with friend and fellow pop star Selena Gomez) for the 2010 Notre Dame season opener against Purdue. Swift was visiting her brother, who was then a student at UND.
