NBC showed great restraint waiting nearly an entire quarter before they showed Swift on the broadcast. When they finally did, Mike Tirico clearly had not prepared for the moment. He started with a Voice reference, but then appeared to break into the opening of Eminem’s “Without Me.”
That’s not the right artist, but she is technically back. Again even. So Tirico should get a pass for this one. Plus, he’ll have another chance at it when the Chiefs play on Sunday Night Football in Week 3.
