I went into labor at a Taylor Swift concert — and danced through the pain: ‘Euphoric experience’

A recent social media rumor about Swift’s “baby bump” emphasized that people are dying for news on the future plans of the NFL‘s favorite couple. The former Philadelphia Eagles center fed them some crumbs.

When discussing which Adam Sandler character they would be, the elder Kelce chided his little brother by sating, “I was going to say The Wedding Singer for you.” Then he gave the dramatic look to the camera.

“4 ET articles, hand gestures while she performs, now this as Jason stares right at us? COME ON we know what’s up,” said one lovestruck Swiftie who posted the clip on Twitter/X.

Are Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce getting married?

A wedding proposal would be the next big step for the couple that has stayed strong for the majority of a year through the endless scrutiny and success of the Kansas City Chiefs and a marathon Eras Tour.

The latest reports suggest that things are going amazing between them, but Kelce and Swift have no plans of getting engaged this summer. The 34-year-olds both take marriage very seriously and want to wait a little longer before making such a huge commitment.

The fulminations surrounding the world’s biggest pop icon — and girlfriend of Travis Kelce, the Chiefs’ star tight end — reached the stratosphere after Kansas City made it to the Super Bowl for the fourth time in five years, and the first time since Ms. Swift joined the team’s entourage.

The conspiracy theories coming out of the Make America Great Again contingent were already legion: that Ms. Swift is a secret agent of the Pentagon; that she is bolstering her fan base in preparation for her endorsement of President Biden’s re-election; or that she and Mr. Kelce are a contrived couple, assembled to boost the N.F.L. or Covid vaccines or Democrats or whatever.

“I wonder who’s going to win the Super Bowl next month,” Vivek Ramaswamy, the conspiratorial presidential candidate, turned Trump surrogate, pondered on social media on Monday. “And I wonder if there’s a major presidential endorsement coming from an artificially culturally propped-up couple this fall.”

The pro-Trump broadcaster Mike Crispi led off on Sunday by claiming that the National Football League is “rigged” in order to spread “Democrat propaganda”: “Calling it now: KC wins, goes to Super Bowl, Swift comes out at the halftime show and ‘endorses’ Joe Biden with Kelce at midfield.”

Other detractors of Ms. Swift among Mr. Trump’s biggest fans include one of his lawyers, Alina Habba, one of his biggest conspiracy theorists, Jack Posobiec, and other MAGA luminaries like Laura Loomer and Charlie Kirk, who leads a pro-Trump youth organization, Turning Point USA.

The right has been fuming about Ms. Swift since September, when she urged her fans on Instagram to register to vote, and the online outfit Vote.org reported a surge of 35,000 registrations in response. Ms. Swift had embarked on a world tour that helped make her a billionaire. Gavin Newsom, the California governor, praised her as “profoundly powerful.” And then Time magazine made her Person of the Year in December, kicking off another round of MAGA indignation.
