Taylor Swift\u2018s fans are getting ready for it\u2026 the big game, that is. Since the pop superstar went on the\u00a0New Heights\u00a0podcast for a two-hour interview and announced her new album,\u00a0The Life of a Showgirl, fans have been buzzing with new theories, and one in particular has caught on: Swifties are convinced that the singer is planning to headline the\u00a0Super Bowl\u00a0LX\u00a0halftime show\u00a0next year.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m never going to plant an Easter egg that ties back to my personal life,\u201d Swift said on the show. \u201cIt\u2019s always going to be towards music, something I have coming up.\u201d Here are all the Easter eggs and theories that explain why fans think Swift is finally taking the famed stage in 2026. (Reps for Swift and the\u00a0NFL\u00a0did not immediately respond to a request for comment.)<\/em><\/p>\n

Swift Announced Her Album on a Sports Podcast, of All Platforms<\/h3>\n

Some fans were\u00a0perplexed\u00a0when Swift announced her appearance on\u00a0New Heights, and even more surprised when the singer took the opportunity to announce her new album,\u00a0The Life of a Showgirl. \u201cWords are being said that have never been said before,\u201d one fan\u00a0wrote\u00a0about the situation on X. But some fans think the announcement platform isn\u2019t all that random. Not only is\u00a0New Heights\u00a0hosted by Swift\u2019s boyfriend,\u00a0Travis Kelce, and his brother Jason, it\u2019s also primarily a sports podcast hosted by two professional football players. Could that be a hint to something else she\u2019s planning?<\/p>\n

She\u2019s Dating a Three-Time Super Bowl Champion<\/h3>\n

Speaking of which, let\u2019s get the most obvious football connection out of the way for our fellow non-sports experts: Swift is\u00a0dating Kelce, a three-time Super Bowl champion. In fact, two of his Super Bowl wins with the Kansas City Chiefs have been against the San Francisco 49ers, the team whose home field, Levi\u2019s Stadium, is hosting the big game next year.<\/p>\n

Kelce\u2019s Chiefs beat the Niners 31-20 in 2019 and again in 2023, this time 25-22. (His other Super Bowl win was a 38-35 victory against his brother Jason\u2019s former Philadelphia Eagles in 2022.) So the idea of a Super Bowl performance there just feels right.<\/p>\n

The NFL Already Knows and Loves Her<\/h3>\n

For years now, Swift has developed a working relationship with the National Football League.<\/p>\n

In 2022, she debuted the exclusive\u00a0Midnights\u00a0music video\u00a0teaser\u00a0during a Thursday Night Football game between the New Orleans Saints and Arizona Cardinals.<\/p>\n

And since she started dating Kelce and attending games, the NFL has leaned into her superstardom. Swift\u2019s appearances during live NFL broadcasts have arguably led to\u00a0increased viewership, and the league\u2019s official social media accounts\u00a0love to reference\u00a0her.<\/p>\n

Who could forget the worldwide frenzy that kicked in when Swift had to race from Tokyo to Las Vegas to see the\u00a02024 Super Bowl?<\/em><\/p>\n

Swift Loves Sourdough. So Does This Football Team<\/h3>\n

Yes, we all know that Taylor Swift loves baking. She\u2019s whipped up cookies for fans at listening parties (specifically, chai sugar cookies with eggnog icing), and she even used cookies to\u00a0endorse\u00a0Joe Biden\u2019s presidential campaign two elections ago.<\/p>\n

But on the\u00a0New Heights\u00a0podcast, she shared her new baking obsession: sourdough bread.\u00a0\u201cI\u2019m really talking about bread 60 percent of the time,\u201d Swift said, causing Travis to erupt in laughter.<\/p>\n

And you know who else has a sourdough connection?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The San Francisco 49ers, whose mascot is a bearded gold miner named Sourdough Sam. Where\u2019s the 2026 Super Bowl being held? Levi\u2019s Stadium, a.k.a. the Niners\u2019 (and Sourdough Sam\u2019s) home in Santa Clara.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s become a huge factor,\u201d Swift said of her bread-making on the podcast. \u201cWe are very deep in a sourdough obsession that is taking over my life.\u201d Bear with us here: If \u201csourdough obsession\u201d is really a cute way of hinting at \u201cSuper Bowl halftime show,\u201d it would make sense why rehearsals and planning for the big day would be \u201ctaking over\u201d her life.<\/em><\/p>\n

The 49ers even shared a silly video on TikTok of their stadium with a viral audio, in which someone asks, \u201cWhat\u2019s going on here? <\/em><\/p>\n

Why\u2019s everyone acting weird towards me.\u201d<\/p>\n
