Fans are convinced that she’s going to perform at the coveted halftime gig next year
Sourdough chat
Taylor, 35, discussed her new ‘obsession’ with baking sourdough as she spoke about her new album on Travis and Jason Kelce’s New Heights podcast. ‘Sourdough has taken over my life in a huge way,’ she said. ‘It’s become a huge, huge factor.
I’m just, like, always baking bread and texting my friends and being like, “Can I send you some bread? I need some feedback.
Do you like this one better than you liked the other one? Like, I did the rise a little differently”.’
But Swifties reckon the singer is cooking up more than just bread because Super Bowl LX takes places at the San Francisco 49ers’ home stadium and their team mascot is none other than Sourdough Sam, a bearded gold miner who shares a name with Taylor’s favourite new baked treat. Coincidence?
Numbers talk
The numbers 47 and 60 have been referenced a lot recently during Taylor’s podcast appearance and they’re both significant.
She thanked Jason for ‘screaming for, like, 47 seconds’ at the start of the episode, which got sleuthing Swifties wondering if the number 47 ‘could be a connection’ to the 47th stop on her record-breaking Eras tour, which was at the Levi’s Stadium.
Taylor said that she thinks about bread ‘60% of the time now’. The number 60 could refer to the Super Bowl, as next year will mark its 60th championship game.
The singer has already admitted to loving numerological Easter eggs. ‘I love numerology. I love math stuff, I love dates, that stuff I find really fun,’ she said.
‘My favourite one of those was when I was giving an honorary doctorate from NYU and I made the commencement speech. And I put so many lyrical Easter eggs in that speech that when the Midnights album came out after that, the fans were like, “The whole speech was an Easter egg.” And that for me is really fun because they find it fun.’
Jean-ius
Levi’s, who the stadium is named after following their sponsorship with the San Francisco 49ers, appears to be leaning into all the speculation too.
The world-famous denim brand has posted a TikTok showing someone swapping the iconic red Levi’s tag on a pair of jeans for an orange glittery one – much like the colour theme of Taylor’s Showgirl era.
‘Subtle swap for the big day,’ Levi’s said. Now what could they be referring to?
