NFL season and Taylor Swift was a great start for football. The 2010 NFL season opener was Taylor Swift singing one of her popular songs. The 2010 season started with the NFL rematch of Vikings versus Saints.

Taylor Swift has an upcoming album called “Speak Now.” The award winning teen icon was an interesting choice for the opener, revealing the football organizers’ interest in expanding the sports demographic audience. The Dave Mathews Band also performed prior to kick-off.

Who won Saints Vikings game?

Of course the New Orleans Saints won! Brett Favre didn’t do so hot for the Minnesota Vikings. It’s not a good way to start 2010 football.

New Orleans played host to the opener, and their town brought its classic Mardi-Gras feel to the half time show. The highlight of the performance was no doubt the joint rendition of Talking Heads’ “Burning Down the House” featuring local dancers. Here’s a video of some of the game time celebration.
