One of the many topics Taylor Swift discussed in her appearance on boyfriend Travis Kelce’s podcast, New Heights, was her new obsession with baking sourdough. What if the ‘Anti-Hero’ singer is not actually referring to bread?
Many of Swift’s fans think her references to sourdough may be an Easter Egg itself. Swift has been known to foreshadow and drop ambiguous hints about future projects.
It may be a clever way to try to distract her fan base while she interacted live with her NFL boyfriend for the first time and announced ‘The Life of A Showgirl’ from something maybe even bigger at play.
The huge theory from Swifties is that the 14-time Grammy Award winner has already locked in being the halftime performer for Super Bowl 2026.
One of the biggest hints, with the Super Bowl taking place at Levi’s Stadium, home of the San Francisco 49ers is that the team’s mascot is Sourdough Sam.
Not to mention, Swift’s lucky number is 13. Simple addition in the Bay Area NFL team’s two-digit nickname equals that baker’s dozen.
Many of Taylor Swift’s fans think she will be the Super Bowl halftime performer next year
Swift’s clues about sourdough might have nothing to do with bread in a few months time
During New Height’s co-host Jason Kelce’s bombastic introduction of his brother’s girlfriend, she emphasized how many countries on the ‘Eras Tour’ she visited – 47. The 47th show of her tour was at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
Swift has made a big deal about numerology since the start of her career, hence why her 12th studio album has exactly 12 songs on it, with the title track being the final song of the record.
Another clue for Swift’s diehard fan base is in between Swift and Kelce during her New Heights appearance – a replica of the Lombardi Trophy, handed out to the winner of the Super Bowl annually.
Swift has been popular enough, and had the music catalog for several years to get the most coveted spot in music, with the NFL expected to announce who succeeds Kendrick Lamar over the next several weeks.
The 35-year-old was in exile from the Super Bowl while Pepsi sponsored the halftime show due to her brand deal with rival Coca-Cola. Now, Apple Music is in charge of the spectacle.
Should Swift be the choice, it would be the first time the halftime performer has a chance to be romantically involved with a participant in the biggest game in sports.
The ‘Karma is the guy on the Chiefs’ riff on her own lyrics would have new meaning if Kelce had already played two quarters of a Super Bowl listening in a nearby locker room. And would Swift be able to perform with the emotions of watching her beau play in such a prestigious game?
Many fans thought Swift would wait for the Tennessee Titans new stadium to open so she could get the halftime show in her hometown of Nashville. Now, we could be a few months away from Swift jumping to the front of the line.
