In their words

What was actually said

I also notice PR in general, public relations, which is the goal of public relations is to get earn media. So if the chiefs in particular had wanted to run ads to get their awareness higher and take some more tickets, some more merchandise, the overall value of the brand, if they would run ads that this is the value that Taylor Swift's and Travis Kelsey's relationship and the media attention is guarded $331 million in earned media value $331 million.
