Taylor Swift fans fall for pregnancy rumors after singer steps out with 'baby bump'
Taylor Swift fans convinced themselves that the pop star was pregnant this week thanks to an optical illusion. The rumor mill went into overdrive after the 35-year-old stepped out in New York with what appeared to be a pregnant belly on display. 'She's eight months pregnant,' wrote one fan on X, while another posted, 'Taylor appears pregnant in New York!' However, upon closer inspection, it was clear that Swift's black mini-dress had blended into a black car in the background, which made it look like she had a large baby bump. A number of users found the misunderstanding hilarious, with one commenting, 'I thought Travis Kelce was becoming a dad for a sec.' Taylor spent the weekend with bestie Selena Gomez in New York, though she honored her boyfriend Travis during the outing. Swift, 35, and Gomez, 32, were spotted at Monkey Bar in Manhattan on Saturday, while Kelce was in Kansas City for the Big Slick charity event. While the 35-year-old Kelce wasn't present for the outing, Swift was clearly thinking about him, choosing to wear a sweet gift from the Kansas City Chiefs star. The pop icon was spotted wearing a custom Wove x Michelle Wie West gold and diamond tennis friendship bracelet with the letters "TNT" during the outing (via TMZ). The outing also came just days after Swift successfully purchased her own music catalogue, for a sum reported to be $360 million by some and anywhere between $600 million and $1 billion by others. Swift was seen wearing a black minidress with silver platform heels, diamond strand earrings and carrying a black handbag. Gomez was spotted a sleeveless brown top tucked into matching brown pants with a brown jacket and brown pointed-toe heels for the outing. It's unclear what the besties discussed on the outing, whether it was Swift's successful music buyback or her relationship with Kelce. Taylor and Travis haven't been out much since he played in the Super Bowl back in February. A number of users found the misunderstanding hilarious, with one commenting, 'I thought Travis Kelce was becoming a dad for a sec' The couple, who have been together since the summer of 2023, have recently been at the center of gossip that they're planning to get married and start a family – and former athletes Julian Edelman and Rob Gronkowski have shared their thoughts on the pair's future. Julian, 38, said in the 'Dudes on Dudes' podcast about the possibility of Taylor and Travis having their first child: 'That would be a great kid.' Rob, 35, added: 'The kid would be performing – having eight catches a game and then doing the halftime show.' In March 2024, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Harrison Butker told EWTN News in Depth he hoped the couple would ' get married and start a family '. Taylor was photographed in November 2023 holding fellow WAG Chariah Gordon's infant daughter. In February, Travis' friend Adam Lefkoe recalled on the 'Steam Room' podcast the singer was excited to see photos of his baby when they met at an MLB game. Travis is already an uncle to three nieces, with his brother, Jason Kelce, expecting a fourth daughter with wife Kylie Kelce. The athlete has spoken about fatherhood, saying in March 2024, on his and Jason's 'New Heights' podcast: 'I can't wait… to f****** make one' – while discussing 'lab-grown' NBA players. In November, on the 'Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?' show, Travis also joked having a baby would make him 'smarter', adding: 'Man, that's all I had to do to become brilliant?'

Can you spot the pig among the birds in just 13 seconds in a mind-mending optical illusion?
At first glance, the scene looks perfectly ordinary: a lively flock of plump, wide-eyed birds gathered in a sunlit meadow, chirping away without a care in the world. Their round shapes, cheerful expressions and matching colors paint a charming picture of harmony. But look a little closer… and you'll realize something is off. There's an intruder in their midst. A pig. And not just any pig — a stealthy little impostor who's mastered the art of blending in. Your challenge? Spot the odd one out in under 13 seconds. Sounds simple, right? Think again. This illusion relies on the power of pattern recognition. Your brain wants to see birds—so it does. That's what makes spotting the pig so difficult. But it's there. No feathers, no beak, and a snout that gives it all away. Look closely and you'll notice one creature has rounder ears, a wider nose, and a slightly different shade of pink. Still struggling? Here's a hint: ignore the left side. Focus on the center-right of the image, where the pig has cleverly tucked itself among the crowd. Once you see it, you won't believe you missed it. And if you're still searching, don't worry—you're far from alone. This illusion is a perfect reminder that sometimes, what we think we see blinds us to what's actually there. So—did you beat the clock? Or did the pig outsmart you? Check the answer key below to see if you were correct Another seemingly innocent image posted by the popular Facebook page Minion Quotes is driving internet users wild - after it challenged them to count every duck in a sneaky new brain teaser. A Facebook page called Minion Quotes recently shared this optical illusion, which shows a flock of happy white ducks scattered across a bright yellow background. Initially, the picture looks simple enough - just rows of cute little birds waddling along in perfect formation. But there's a catch that has left even the sharpest-eyed puzzle fans scratching their heads. At the top of the image, the bold question reads: 'How many duck you can count?' Easy, right? Not so fast. Take a closer look and you'll spot the real twist: some of the ducks are hiding in plain sight. Tiny ducklings are tucked away inside the outlines of their larger, feathered friends - camouflaged so well that many viewers miss them completely. A few are peeking out from behind wings, while others are so perfectly blended you might need to squint to see them. Within hours, the comments section erupted as thousands rushed to post their guesses - ranging from a handful to 17 ducks. Some claim to have cracked the code, while others are still scanning the image, convinced they've missed a sneaky stowaway. Optical illusions and hidden picture puzzles have long been a hit on social media, providing not just entertainment, but a test of your observation skills - and this duck-themed challenge is no exception. Think you can outsmart the flock? Despite hundreds of guesses, only the eagle-eyed few can spot all 22 - did you? But don't quit just yet, we have another brain teaser to test just how smart you are. At first glance, the picture seems innocent enough: a dizzying swarm of cartoon bees buzzing in all directions. Rows upon rows of identical-looking insects fill the screen, their bulbous eyes and tiny wings blending together in a chaotic blur of yellow and black. But there's a twist. Hidden within the hive of activity is a single uninvited guest - an ant - carefully camouflaged to blend in with its stripy surroundings. The illusion, originally created by Jagran Josh, an Indian education and news platform, has gone viral for good reason. It's not just a test of sight, but a test of patience, concentration, and maybe even sanity. The challenge? Spot the ant in under 10 seconds. Sounds easy - until you try it. Need a hint? Focus on the legs. The ant's are slimmer, more stick-like, and lack the small wings you'll find on every bee in the image. That tiny detail is your giveaway - if you're fast enough to catch it. Still stumped? Don't worry, you're not alone - most people admit they gave up and scrolled for the answer. So, how long did it take you? And be honest - did you beat the 10-second mark, or are you buzzing with frustration?
