Live: Taylor Swift at the Super Bowl, her outfit, plus Ice Spice, Kelce fam, others in suite.
NEW ORLEANS - What if we told you she's back?
Taylor Swift is in white at the Super Bowl.
Is this an Easter Egg? Is this an engagement announcement? Will there be a proposal? Swifties are losing their minds.
Is the T chain a nod to her 2017 song "Call it What You Want" with the lyrics: I want to wear his initialOn a chain 'round my neck.
And Swift brought along her famous pals to watch the game.
Swift is 2-for-2 when it comes to making it to the Super Bowl. The singer who penned the song "Fifteen" in 2006 wrote, "in your life you'll do things greater than dating the boy on the football team." It's true. See: The Eras Tour. But we must admit it's been fun to follow her journey supporting beau Travis Kelce in his three-peat bid as tight end with the Kansas City Chiefs.
We are here for her fashion, celebrity friends and celebratory dances. Ehsan Kassim from USA TODAY Sports is reporting all the trends while Taylor Swift reporter Bryan West reports live from the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.
'Cause let's be honest, we're here for not for the "three-peat" but the "Tay-pete."
Do you care about the actual game? Then why are you here? Check our Super Bowl 59 live updates
We aren't disappointed. The first Taylor sighting on FOX shows her in a white couble-breasted blazer.

Swift is wearing a white double breasted blazer with her signature red lip. She is in white, just like the Chiefs. She also rocked white, thigh-high boots.
And is that the T from her thigh-necklace from the Grammys around her neck? T could be for Travis, Taylor, maybe three-peat
Do you have a favorite look from this season? We're sticking with the Vivienne Westwood plaid dress from the Oct. 7 game agains the New Orleans Saints.
We have spied Donna Kelce, Jason and Kylie Kelce, Swift's friend Ashley Avignone, Ice Spice (maybe she also was good luck last year!), the Haim sisters - and we'll keep udpating you.

Taylor Swift's boyfriend walking into the dome is all swagger. Somehow, instead of "Bad Blood" which FOX played in the broadcast, we're hearing, "Stayin' Alive." And we're thinking about the AFC Championship game, where he sang KC and the Sunshine Band's 'Get Down Tonight'
The head-to-toe look from Amiri's fall 2025 collection was topped with a brooch of a rose.
And we're loving all of it. It's a very sexy vibe. Is it a clue as to what we'll see Taylor wearing?
Chiefs star players' Super Bowl outfits Watch Travis Kelce, Patrick Mahomes walk in
In a way less exciting outfit, Travis Kelce takes the field in his red football pants and a white T-shirt to Post Malone's "Circles."
It pays to best friends with Taylor Swift.
And we're going to take a wild guess and say we don't think we'll see Blake Lively in the suite this year.
So who's on the vaunted shortlist to join Swift as she cheers on her beau, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, in a suite against the Philadelphia Eagles?
She was spotted at dinner with the Haim sisters in New Orleans leading up to the game, and they are frequently spotted with Swift. So they might be a favorite. Swift has watched games with her parents and Kelce's parents, so let's add them. With Jason Kelce not playing in this game, do we think he and Kylie will be there? Odds are yes. Kylie Kelce was reportedly also at that dinner.
We're going to say no on Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds, even though they've watched the games together before. With the drama around the Lively and Justin Baldoni lawsuit, maybe it's Bad Blood? Or maybe the distraction isn't needed.
With strategic stories about Swift and Selena Gomez hanging in LA and "giggling" through dinner, we are putting bets on Gomez and fiancée Benny Blanco, too.
While we saw Taylor raising her champagne glass to Jay-Z at the Grammys after Beyoncé's AOTY win, and Jay-Z is on the sidelines before the game, we aren't placing any bets that they will be in the Taylor suite. But think of the star power if they were? (Would anyone remember the president attended the game?)
The Jay-Z founded Roc Nation produces the Super Bowl half-time show.
Earlier this week, Travis Kelce was asked about Taylor Swift pantomiming throwing a football, mouthing "touchdown" and holding up a three for a third Super Bowl win during her Eras Tour show at the Caesars Superdome back in the fall.
Fans think the singer may have manifested some of the Chiefs' success, and Kelce didn't knock down the idea.

"We love to manifest things, for sure, and you can't say it's not real, because we're here, right?" Kelce told reporters at the stadium on Monday. "Whatever she was doing, I'm sure it helped."

It's impossible to miss Jake Duhaime walking into the Super Bowl. The Boston marketing executive has been wearing his golden, spangly blazer on the streets of New Orleans and aisles of Radio Row. The jacket has a red-and-yellow fleur-de-lis. The sleeves read "Dynasty (Taylor's Version)" and "Tay-Peat (Taylor's Version)." And then there's the bright, white "Tayvoodoo" across the chest.
"I also put up a billboard in Philadelphia," Duhaime says.
To troll Eagles fans, he partnered with Tasty Clean, an edible cleaning spray company in Dallas, to buy a "Hey Philly, Tayvoodoo is real" billboard along Interstate 95. "Alchemy becomes reality on 02.09.25" the $3,000 sign next to Lincoln Financial Field reads.
We'll see if the Tayvoodoo is in full force at the Super Bowl matchup.
Swift may be in the minority with Chiefs fans in the Caesars Superdome. According to VividSeats, 56% of the crowd will join Kylie and Jason Kelce in rooting for the birds. Prices on the ticket marketplace are hovering between $1,950 and $2,200 for the upper level.
Swift is expected to be in a suite, like last year. Confirmed360, a concierge service, tells USA TODAY that the luxury boxes were going for $500,000 to $3 million.
We know Kaitlin Olson from "High Potential" is a big Eagles fan, and was even the first guest on Kylie Kelce's podcast "Not Gonna Lie." Other celebs who cheer for the Eagles, and maybe will be at the game, include:
Will Smith
Kevin Hart
Quinta Brunson
Tina Fey
Lil Uzi Vert
Miles Teller
Pink
Meek Mill
Keke Palmer
Questlove
Sylvester Stallone
"It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" stars Rob McElhenney and Danny DeVito
Kelly Ripa
If the Chiefs pull out a third win, it seems likely there will be baked goods, made by Swift, delivered to the team.
"She bakes different things and brings them in for the players and coaches. I think it's brought some fun and some excitement into it the last couple of years," says Ryan Reynolds, not the actor but the head strength and conditioning coach of the Kansas City Chiefs.
Reynolds has been with the organization for nine years and says Swift has brought a fun, new energy to the team.
"She's integrated herself into the team, and it's been good," he says, admitting he enjoys her homemade Pop-Tarts.
The narrative for Swift's boyfriend, Kansas City Chief's tight end Travis Kelce, has taken a step back in his 12th season in his enchanted NFL career. Some have even blamed the Traylor effect. However, the 35-year-old uses the narrative to keep him going during the Chiefs' playoff run, which USA TODAY's Nate Davis explores in his feature from the Super Bowl.
"Kelce has seven catches for 125 yards and a touchdown in Kansas City's Divisional Round win vs. the Houston Texans. Kelce motivates his younger teammates and remains quarterback Patrick Mahomes' favorite target in clutch moments."
To start Super Bowl week, Swift wore a gorgeous red asymmetrical dress to the Grammy Awards. Swifties surmised the "T" dangling across her left upper thigh stood for "Taylor" or "Travis." Maybe it's a mix of those and also "three-peat" or "third" win? Either way, here's a look at all the best photos of the "Red" singer from last weekend.
We're looking forward to seeing what she wears to Super Bowl 59.

Why Fans Think Lucy and Freddie From ‘Perfect Match' Are Dating
And so ends another season of Perfect Match, aka the most chaotic reality TV show on Netflix. This season was filled with drama (Louis Russell's surprise red carpet appearance with Huda Mustafa! Hannah Burns' mystery baby daddy! AD Smith and Ollie Sutherland's early reveal!) but it seems possible that AD and Ollie weren't the only two to get a happy ending. The latest theory: Fans think Lucy Syed and Freddie Powell are now an item. While season 3 winner Lucy ended the season with Daniel Perfetto and Freddie ended up with Madison Errichiello, it's already been revealed that (spoiler!) neither couple lasted. Lucy and Daniel split before they could even go on their all-expenses-paid vacation, and according to Freddie, he and Madison just couldn't make their long-distance relationship work. As Freddie said of Madison during a post-finale interview with Elite Daily, 'We carried on speaking afterwards, but we were very realistic about the fact that there was 4,000 miles between us. And gradually over time, it just became apparent that it was more of a friendship.' While Madison lives in Minneapolis, the Love Is Blind: UK alum is based in is much closer to where Lucy lives in London. But that's not why fans think they're dating. No, the reason has to do with a pair of Instagram posts. Earlier this week, Freddie shared a pic of himself in L.A. with the caption, 'No place I'd rather be.' A day later, Lucy posted a few snapshots with an identical based on her outfit, fans are convinced that she's the one casting a shadow in Freddie's picture. Seeing as they're both from the UK, it's unlikely that they just happened to bump into each other in L.A.—but that doesn't necessarily mean they're dating, of course. In fact, Lucy seemed to directly address the rumors during a recent interview, where she referred to herself and Freddie as 'friends' and nothing more. 'I hang out with Freddie now and we are just friends,' she said. 'He's like a brother figure…I don't feel any sexual spark with Freddie.' Fans will have to wait and see whether anything comes out of this ~friendship.~

Khamzat Chimaev: 'Poor' Paulo Costa calling me out to make money
Khamzat Chimaev continued to brush off Paulo Costa. Costa (15-4 MMA, 7-4 UFC) is eager to fight with Chimaev after accusing him of sending his wife "nasty" messages on Instagram. Chimaev denied ever doing that, but Costa still insists on settling his grudge with him. Chimaev (14-0 MMA, 8-0 UFC) challenges Dricus Du Plessis (23-2 MMA, 9-0 UFC) for the middleweight title in Saturday's UFC 319 (pay-per-view, ESPN, ESPN+) main event at United Center in Chicago. "I don't care what Paulo Costa says," Chimaev said on the JAXXON podcast. "I have my life, I have my bank account better than his 10 times. This guy is poor. That's why he's trying to call me out and make money. I beat the guys who beat him." Chimaev was asked about the possibility of moving up a weight class and facing Alex Pereira if he gets past Du Plessis. Pereira will run things back with light heavyweight champion Magomed Ankalaev in the UFC 320 headliner on Oct. 4 from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. "It depends if he wins, so we'll see," Chimaev said of Pereira. "Actually, if he wins – (even) if he lost, they give me good money, I'm going to fight that guy. So, why not?"

Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce And The Career Perks Of The Right Partner
Taylor Swift appeared on Travis Kelce's podcast this week, offering a rare glimpse into the relationship of this career-driven couple. Despite the glamorous lives of the pop icon and NFL superstar, Swift's anecdotes made their relationship seem completely relatable—whether it was baking sourdough bread for Kelce to take to training camp or laughing about overhearing his booming podcast voice from another room in their home. And if you're wondering whether their relationship might pull focus from her music or his football, the research suggests the opposite. The right relationship can boost your career. Here's what the data say about how a supportive relationship can elevate your career, regardless of whether you're selling out stadiums or climbing the corporate ladder. Partnering May Boost Your Career One survey found that a large majority of people feel happier at work when they are in a healthy relationship outside of work, and positive emotions tend to make you more productive. Indeed, Swift mentioned in the podcast that Kelce 'is a vibe booster.' When their relationships are going well, people actually spend more time at work. In addition, partners can be a great source of social support, and research indicates that people turn to their partners for support when they feel pressure at work. Another study found that those in a romantic relationship are more likely to achieve their goals at work. Partners who share resources, align on objectives and champion each other's ambitions can find themselves achieving more, as long as they are not in direct competition with one another or weighed down by different priorities. When Swift joined Kelce on his podcast, New Heights, she expanded her reach into the sports world and extended his reach to her loyal fans. For dual-career couples, there's one characteristic of your partner that's particularly important for your own career: conscientiousness. When your partner is organized, responsible and hardworking, it can impact your paycheck. Researchers found that for every unit increase in your spouse's conscientiousness, you're likely to earn $4000 more per year. Why? You're likely to mirror their diligent habits, and you're more satisfied in your relationship when you can count on your partner. Both Swift and Kelce seem to check this box. As an example of how partnering can lead to career success, researchers examined the women who had served as CEOs for Fortune 500 companies. Only one had never married. However, not all relationships result in a career boost. When conflict seeps into the relationship, it can impact focus and productivity. For example, 94% of finance professionals report struggling to focus at work when they're in conflict with their partner. In addition, competition between partners or clashing priorities can also undermine work productivity. A partner's work stress can impact you as well. If one partner brings home stress, it can spill over to the other partner. This is why Sheryl Sandberg, author of Lean In and former Meta executive, has long emphasized the importance of choosing the right life partner. As she put it, 'I truly believe that the single most important career decision that a woman makes is whether she will have a life partner and who that partner is. I don't know of one woman in a leadership position whose life partner is not fully—and I mean fully—supportive of her career. No exceptions.' Problems Can Arise When Women Earn More Swift became a billionaire in October 2023, and Forbes estimates her net worth at $1.6 billion. Kelce's success is also impressive. But despite an estimated $52 million net worth and a two-year $34.25 million contract extension signed last spring, Swift's earnings still outpace his by a wide margin. Research shows that this income disparity can present challenges for straight couples. One study of marriages between men and women found that as women earned a larger share of the household income, relationship satisfaction dropped, particularly for men. Men who earned less than their female partner reported feeling less masculine and more inadequate, and those feelings were linked to lower relationship quality. Women who outearned their husbands also reported feeling uncomfortable challenging traditional gender roles, though the effect was smaller than it was for men. Others have found a higher risk of relationship dissolution when the woman outearns her husband, and men in this situation have an 11% greater chance of being diagnosed with a mental health problem. Despite their higher earnings, women still typically shoulder more of the housework and caregiving, while men have more leisure time—though Swift and Kelce are likely to be able to afford any household help they need. The Additional Burden Of Public Scrutiny Finally, Swift and Kelce face an additional challenge of being in the public eye, which can add significant pressure to any relationship. One analysis found that celebrities are twice as likely to divorce as the rest of us, likely due to public scrutiny and the blurring of personal and professional boundaries. Swift and Kelce tend to keep their relationship very private, drawing a clear line between their personal and private lives. Swift explains in the podcast, that she never checks her social media, adding 'I'm not an online person at all.' It's a reminder, even for those of us who are not celebrities, of the value in carving out time just for your relationship, free from work obligations and the draw of social media.
