Will Taylor Swift be the Super Bowl LX halftime performer?: Here's what fans say
Swifties are in full detective mode, wondering if Taylor Swift is gearing up to headline the Super Bowl LX halftime show. The speculation kicked off after Swift announced her 12th studio album, " The Life of a Showgirl," on the "New Heights" podcast last week. Since then, fans have been dissecting Easter eggs they believe point to her taking center stage at the big game, which takes place at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, on Feb. 8, 2026. On social media, theories are flying, with many convinced that nothing Swift says or does is ever accidental. Keep reading to see the biggest clues -- and why Swift may just be the ultimate mastermind. Sourdough clues In the "New Heights" episode, which aired on Aug. 13, Swift told her boyfriend Travis Kelce and his brother Jason Kelce, who co-host the podcast, that she is "very deep in a sourdough obsession that has taken over my life." "I'm really talking about bread 60% of the time now," she added. "It's become a huge, huge factor." On social media, fans were quick to point out that 60% isn't just a random number, but that it coincides with Super Bowl LX, or 60. The San Francisco 49ers, whose home base is Levi's Stadium, also have a mascot named Sourdough Sam. Eras Tour connection Another Easter egg came at the start of the "New Heights" podcast, after Jason Kelce delivered an epic introduction of Swift. "Thank you for screaming for like 47 seconds for me, that was so nice," she responded. The random number caught the attention of some Swifties online, who made the connection that the 47th stop of her Eras Tour was at Levi's Stadium. Levi's social media post After the "New Heights" episode with Swift aired, Levi's took to its official TikTok page and shared a video of someone swapping out their signature red Levi's tag on the back pocket of a pair of jeans with an orange tag. Many were quick to point out that the change could be considered a nod to Swift taking the stage at Levi's Stadium for Super Bowl LX, as it mirrored the album cover color scheme from "The Life of a Showgirl." The orange hue on that album cover, dubbed "TS12," has already been used in posts from other brands in the wake of the album's announcement, including Panera Bread, Duolingo, United Airlines and more.

Pittsburgh International Airport relocating famed kinetic mobile to new terminal
A longtime art piece that has hung from the ceiling of Pittsburgh International Airport on and off for almost 70 years will soon have a new home for travelers to view. "Pittsburgh," the kinetic mobile by artist Alexander Calder, is being reinstalled this month in the new terminal's atrium to serve as both "a gently waving welcome and farewell," the airport said in a news release on Monday. "People just expect to see the Calder at the airport," said Keny Marshall, the airport's manager of arts and culture. Once installed, passengers and the public will be able to see the sculpture from eye level or above on the pre-security departure level of the new terminal. On the arrivals level, people will be able to look up at the sculpture and walk beneath it, Marshall said via the news release. First installed in 1959 over the rotunda of the then-named Greater Pittsburgh Airport terminal, the mobile was also displayed at the Carnegie Museum of Art before moving to its most recent terminal in 1992. Carol Brown, the former county parks director, was instrumental in getting the sculpture restored when it was hung incorrectly at the old terminal with its metal sections painted first yellow and green and then pink. Once it was restored, Brown advocated for the piece to be put in the then-new 1992 terminal. "I would always stop to say 'Hi, Calder,' when I went through the terminal. And I am looking forward to being able to say that again in the new terminal," said Brown. A special lift will be needed to attach the sculpture to the new terminal's ceiling, which is almost 80 feet high. Other Calder mobiles have also been featured at airports across the country. The 45-foot-long mobile titled ".125" currently hangs in the departure hall of Terminal 4 at John F. Kennedy International Airport. A mobile named "Brass in the Sky," once hung in Marshall Field & Company's Cloud Room restaurant at Chicago's Midway Airport. A 40-foot-wide Calder piece named 'Red, Black and Blue" made its way from Dallas Love Field to Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport and Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport before being displayed at the Milwaukee Art Museum.
