Did Taylor Swift Just Confirm Her Super Bowl Debut? Fans Think So

Following her appearance on the ‘New Heights’ podcast, fans are in a frenzy connecting the pop icon’s comments on bread and specific numbers to a potential Super Bowl LXI performance at Levi’s Stadium.

August 16, 2025: This time, Taylor Swift has gotten her fans all worked up over a prospective Super Bowl LXI Halftime Show performance. During her recent visit on the “New Heights” podcast with Jason and Travis Kelce, the pop artist dropped a bunch of “easter eggs” that fans think are signs that she will perform at the Super Bowl in 2026.

A lot of the fan theories are based on things Swift said that seemed like they were just small talk. “Swifties” were immediately interested when she kept talking about her “obsession” with sourdough bread. What is the link? The San Francisco 49ers play in Levi’s Stadium, which is where Super Bowl 60 will be held. Their mascot is called Sourdough Sam.

That was just the start of the “bread talk.” Swift stated a set of numbers that fans soon focused on. These numbers seem to be more than simply a coincidence. She said she talks about sourdough “60 percent of the time,” which is a reference to the fact that the 2026 game will be the 60th Super Bowl. She also complimented Jason Kelce for “screaming for, like, 47 seconds,” a number that fans quickly realized correlates to her 47th stop on the Eras Tour, which occurred at the very same Levi’s Stadium. This year is Travis Kelce’s 13th season in the NFL, and the numbers in the San Francisco 49ers’ name (4+9) also add up to 13, which is Taylor Swift’s favorite number.

The rumors have spread like wildfire, but neither the NFL nor Swift’s organization has said anything about them. Swift has said before that she would think about playing at the Halftime Show only if she has re-recorded all of her albums and owned the rights to them. She has finally accomplished that criterion. Fans are more sure than ever that the setting is set for a historic performance because the game is set for February 2026, just a few months after the release of her new music.
