Is Taylor Swift performing at the Super Bowl halftime show? Here's what the fan theories suggest
Taylor Swift never misses a beat, and the Swifties do not miss an easter egg! 'The Life of a Showgirl' has been on people's minds since the billionaire singer went on her boyfriend's podcast and casually announced one of the most anticipated albums. While the 35-year-old made a dazzling podcast debut, the fans were searching for the easter eggs that would lead to a future timeline, ranging from books, Pinocchio, to a certain topic and number that the singer constantly emphasized. The Swifties are conspiring and marking with red threads that Taylor Swift could potentially perform at the halftime show during the Super Bowl. In the recent podcast appearance with 'New Heights' by the Kelce brothers, the 'Mastermind' singer gave subtle yet unusual hints at the potential NFL and musician's collaboration. Here's a closer look at the theories. What are the Swifities discussing? Mentioning that she was pleased after fans guessed her previous hints, Taylor talked about her sourdough obsession even more so than the upcoming album. 'The sourdough's taken over my life in a huge way. I'm really talking about bread 60 percent of the time now,' she said. Well, a rookie might let this slide, but Swifties and their search engines are powerful than ever. The Super Bowl would be taking place at Levi's Stadium, the hometown of the San Francisco 49ers, whose mascot is none other than (drumrolls please) Sourdough Sam. Furthermore, Taylor Swift randomly mentioned the number '47' twice in the podcast. Knowing that the singer doesn't do random things, the Swifities did their work. The 47th show of 'The Eras Tour,' the highest-grossing tour, was at Levi Stadium. Well, it's no news that Swift's favourite number is 13, and almost everything about her career revolves around the number. When the two numbers, 47 and 13, add up, it's 60 – the exact percent that she talks about bread nowadays. Moreover, it would be the 60th Super Bowl on February 8, 2026. Will Taylor Swift perform at the Super Bowl halftime show? While many raised eyebrows about the reason she chose Travis Kelce 's sports podcast to announce the upcoming release, the theories suggest that the decision was deeper than that. Not only did Taylor Swift subtly suggest that the album would have songs about the behind-the-scenes of her tour (when Travis and she started dating), but the radar also points at her performance at the Super Bowl's halftime show.

Is Taylor Swift's new album throwing shade at Blake Lively? Swifties think yes, so here's everything to know
Taylor Swift is ready to dazzle once again! The pop icon's 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, drops October 3, and while it's brimming with glamorous, cinematic flair inspired by her Eras Tour, fans think a certain track could be less about glitter and more about grudges. Taylor Swift's new album cover for Life of a Showgirl; Taylor Swift and Blake Lively Swift announced the album during an August 2025 appearance on New Heights, chatting with co-hosts Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce — her boyfriend since 2023 — and instantly set the internet ablaze. Within hours, Swifties were combing through the release date (just two days before Travis's birthday) for clues. That night, she also revealed the cover art: a collage-style shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott featuring Swift in a silver beaded bra top, bracelets, and partially submerged in water, surrounded by turquoise and orange tones — colours she's been teasing all era. But amidst all the shimmer, one song title has sparked a frenzy: Ruin the Friendship. The track's placement as number six on the album, combined with recent headlines, has fans buzzing about whether Swift is taking aim at her longtime pal Blake Lively. 'Who else thinks Ruin The Friendship and CANCELLED! are about Blake Lively Taylor wrote one fan on X. Another chimed in, 'Taylor Swift's ruin the friendship has to be about Blake Lively.' And then there's the blunt: 'If there is a song on Taylor swifts new album about Blake lively… it's probably the first one.' Their speculation isn't entirely unfounded. PEOPLE reported in May that the two women's decade-long friendship hit a rocky patch amid Lively's legal battle with Justin Baldoni. Things escalated when Baldoni's legal team served Swift with a subpoena, prompting her to back away from the drama. Sources claimed Swift was rattled after being mentioned in a text Lively sent, allegedly calling her one of her 'dragons.' While the insider stressed their friendship isn't over, it has 'halted' — and the subpoena, served on May 8, 'fractured' the fragile peace between them. Given Swift's history of channelling real-life rifts into chart-topping anthems, fans are preparing for The Life of a Showgirl to be both a glittery spectacle and, perhaps, a carefully choreographed clapback.

Travis Kelce's Teammates Reveal Their Reaction To Taylor Swift Attending NFL Game
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and defensive tackle Chris Jones seemed to be swooning over Taylor Swift's appearance. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are one of the most lovable couples not only in the entertainment industry but also among football fans too. Fans of ends as well as Travis Kelce's Kansas City Chiefs teammates were starstruck when the Karma crooner made her first appearance during Kelce's NFL game in September 2023. When Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce hard-launched their relationship during the NFL game, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and defensive tackle Chris Jones seemed to be swooning over the pop icon's appearance. Travis Kelce's Teammates' Reaction to Taylor Swift's NFL Appearance Patrick Mahomes and Chris Jones' reaction was captured in ESPN's The Kingdom documentary series, which premiered on August 14 on ESPN, ESPN+, and Disney+. Remembering the time when they first heard about Travis' relationship with Taylor Jones, they recalled, 'We were in the locker room like, 'Taylor Swift's here.' 'Taylor Swift? For real? With Travis? 'Oh my God!' We were like, 'Oh my God, Travis pulled Taylor Swift.'" Patrick Mahomes shared that Travis had told him earlier that week that Taylor was coming to the game; however, Mahomes admitted that he was not convinced it would actually happen. 'I was like, 'I have to see it before I believe it,'" Mahomes shared. One of the clips featured Travis and Mahomes on the field, where Mahomes was heard saying of Swift, 'That's the first person I noticed; I didn't see anybody else." Later, remembering the buzz at the stadium, Mahomes shared, 'You definitely felt the buzz. You could see people in the stadium gravitating to where she was at. At the same time, we had business to handle." Taylor Swift's NFL Appearances Taylor Swift's NFL appearances mark some of the significant moments of this year. The Lover singer famously attended Week 3 of the Kansas City Chiefs' 2023-2024 season as they took on the Chicago Bears at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. While reports of dating speculation between Travis and Taylor were rife, the couple hadn't confirmed anything at that time. Taylor's repeated appearance at the game solidified her romance with Travis, as she was even spotted enjoying the match from a suite with Travis' mom, Donna Kelce, and was seen leaving the game with Travis after the Chiefs beat the Bears 41-10. Taylor continued to attend several more games to support her beau and his team. In February 2024, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell embraced the couple's relationship. During an interview on CBS Mornings, he stated, 'They seem to be enjoying their relationship. That's great, in and of itself. But it has connected more fans of Taylor's and more fans of the NFL in some ways. Sort of, to see that they have a connection; now (fans) have a connection to our game and to Taylor."
