Super Bowl 58 Betting Odds: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Super Bowl Props
Barring a travel issue, musical superstar Taylor Swift will be in attendance Sunday at Super Bowl 58 to cheer on boyfriend Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs against the San Francisco 49ers. Let’s break down some Swift props for the big game.

Swifties Have Overtaken NFL
I was half-fearing my editor was going to assign me a Taylor Swift props story for Super Bowl 58. While I’m fairly up on pop culture for the most part, I know very little about her professionally other than she’s probably the second-most successful female singer on the planet behind Beyonce and closing fast. I can name as many Taylor Swift songs as I can, say, Ozzy Osbourne: Zero. Then again, I’m not a teenage girl – Swifties – who live and die with her career and personal life.
There is no question the NFL, the Kansas City Chiefs, and future Hall of Fame tight end Travis Kelce have all benefitted from the non-usual football fans whom Swift has drawn in this year thanks to her romance with Kelce. His jersey is now the NFL’s most popular.
Don’t think it matters whether Swift is physically in attendance for a Chiefs game this season? The team is 9-3 when she is there and 4-2 when not. Kelce especially seems to get fired up when she watches in person as he has averaged 6.7 catches for 78.8 yards with five total TDs with her in attendance compared to 6.0 catches for 50.0 yards and three total TDs in games she didn’t make. Kelce enters Super Bowl Sunday with 12 straight playoff games of at least 70 receiving yards, an NFL record by far. Patrick Mahomes and Kelce have combined for 17 postseason touchdowns, now the most by a quarterback-receiver duo ever.
CBS is not going to overdo it on Sunday’s telecast with Swift, but she will definitely feature at least a few times on camera pre-game, during it and after – especially if the Chiefs win.
Could Kelce Retire & Propose?
Swift is currently on her international Eras Tour in Japan, and she plans to fly right from Tokyo following her final show on Saturday to make it in time to Las Vegas for kickoff on Sunday evening. You and I would probably not make it flying commercial, but Swift obviously will be on her private yet.
Tokyo is 5,500 miles away and 17 hours ahead of Las Vegas, but the Embassy of Japan recently said Swift can “comfortably” make the 12-hour flight in time. At some point after the game, Swift would then need to leave the USA again to get to Australia for her seven shows in Melbourne and Sydney on Feb. 16-26. It is reported that Kelce may join her on that leg. The Super Bowl will mark Swift’s 13th in-person Chiefs game this season and 13 is her favourite number.
That the Super Bowl MVP thanks Swift on the field post-game is +750 with no at -1600. Needless to say, no player is going to thank her unless it’s Kelce. One problem with that: No tight end has ever won Super Bowl (or regular season) MVP. Kelce is currently +1000 to win it, the fourth-shortest odds on the board.
Do note that Swift didn’t mention Kelce at the recent Grammys when he was not able to attend and she won a few awards.
That Swift wears a Kristin Juszczyk design jacket at the Super Bowl is +275 with no at -400. I would recommend betting yes here under other circumstances, but Juszczyk is the wife of 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk so it’s hard to imagine Taylor wearing something from enemy territory, so to speak. Kristin Juszczyk’s puffer jacket worn by Swift during Kansas City’s wild card game went viral last month, and Kristin has been cashing in ever since because she landed an official NFL licensing deal. She plans a big reveal for her own outfit Sunday.
Finally, could the famous duo get engaged at Super Bowl 58? There are rumours an engagement is likely coming at some point soon, but Swift is a very private person in general – she kept this romance quiet for months – so Sunday feels very unlikely unless Kelce plans to retire afterward, and brother Jason of the Philadelphia Eagles has said that’s not happening.
That Kelce proposes on the field after Sunday’s game is +900 with no at -3000. That Swift proposes is yes-only at +2500.
