In a surprising twist, the folks who usually stick to sports predictions are now diving into some interesting bets involving Travis Kelce and his girlfriend of a few months, Taylor Swift. The pop singer is expected to travel from Tokyo after wrapping up her Eras Tour to cheer for the NFL star.
However, there’s a buzz going around that the Super Bowl might be the moment when Travis Kelce pops the big question to Tay Tay. What’s even more surprising are the odds, suggesting there’s a good chance Kelce might propose during the Super Bowl halftime show, with “Yes” at +920 and “No” at -2200.
But the excitement doesn’t stop there, as the fans are eagerly anticipating more questions, and what better way to add some spice than by placing bets on the expected outcomes? Another interesting bet involves comparing Kelce’s on-field performance with Taylor Swift’s platinum album count. Will Kelce have more receptions than Swift has platinum albums (10)? The Over is set at +450, the Under at -260, and if they tie at exactly 10, the odds are at +320.
There’s also a wager on whether the Super Bowl MVP will mention Taylor Swift during their acceptance speech. The odds for “Yes” are at +230, while “No” is at -310. These bets not only make the upcoming Super Bowl more thrilling but also shine a light on the growing intersection of sports and pop culture, bringing success to the league.

Furthermore, the local businesses in Kansas City are experiencing a boost, as small business owners note that merchandise inspired by the Kelce-Swift connection, including football-related items, is selling out faster than usual.
