All the Easter Eggs Taylor Swift Dropped About Doing the Super Bowl Halftime Show

THE RUNDOWN

• Taylor Swift seemingly dropped some Easter eggs on Travis Kelce’s podcast.
• Fans believe she’s hinting at a Super Bowl Halftime Show.
• Her album, The Life of a Showgirl, drops in October.

Fans have been clamoring for Taylor Swift to perform at the Super Bowl for ages, but rumors 2026 might finally be the year started swirling after the Eras Tour star appeared on boyfriend Travis Kelce’s New Heights podcast this week.

Swifties know that the singer loves to hide “Easter eggs” hinting at her next move in all sorts of places—in her music videos, on her website, during live performances, and now, perhaps, when talking to Travis and his brother, Jason Kelce.

To begin with, Swift openly referred to the Super Bowl Halftime Show, saying she has watched every single one, which means the topic is on her mind. But the other hints were not quite so obvious. A big one is that Swift joked that she thinks about sourdough “60% of the time.” The San Francisco 49ers are hosting the 60th Super Bowl at Levi’s Stadium in 2026, and who is their mascot? Sourdough Sam. Both the number and mention of bread types was a big flag to Swift’s fans.

Speaking of numbers, Swift mentioned the number 47 during the episode, specifically thanking Jason for his intro and screaming for “47 seconds.” Levi’s Stadium was Swift’s 47th stop on her Eras Tour, leading some listeners to think she would be returning soon. And Swift has talked about 13 being her favorite number in the past, four plus seven is 13, and 2026 will be Travis’s 13th NFL season. It all adds up!

Finally, Swift has said before that she would not perform a halftime show at the Super Bowl before she owned or rerecorded all of her masters. The star finally bought the original masters back this year after rerecording several of her iconic albums already. And her newest album, The Life of a Showgirl, is coming out in October, making a February Super Bowl show a perfect moment of public triumph.
