Super Bowl Sunday (Taylor’s Version): How Swifties are celebrating the big game

Footballs bedazzled with glitter. Friendship bracelets that spell out Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s names. Drinks and snacks inspired by popular Swift songs.

Welcome to Super Bowl Sunday (Taylor’s Version) — a crossover celebration event that’s bringing people with a love for the NFL, Swift, or both together on football’s biggest day.

Swift’s public and viral love story with Kelce, who is a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, has captivated fans online who have long been rooting for the singer’s happiness. Now, many are cheering on Kelce too.

After the Chiefs won the AFC championship and earned a Super Bowl slot, Swifties went into preparation mode. While it’s uncertain whether Swift herself will make it to Las Vegas (she has a show in Tokyo the night before), many have still become invested in the game, where the Chiefs will face the San Francisco 49ers.

“Like many Swifties, I got interested [in football] because of Travis and Taylor,” said Gina Crosley-Corcoran, who had never watched a game until Swift made headlines while attending one in September. “But I think what Swifties have in common is that when we become a fan of something, we really go all in on it.”

Now, Crosley-Corcoran, who lives outside Chicago and is part of the Swift tribute band called Burning Red, is hosting her own huge “Taygate.”

She plans to have themed cocktails and mocktails, including a “Swelce (Swift + Kelce) Punch,” which will be orange with red accents, like the Chiefs’ colors.

She will also serve Super Bowl staples, including chicken wings and football cookies, alongside Swift-Kelce-themed cupcakes and a custom sheet cake that looks like a football stadium with an “Eras Tour” stage drawn on it.
