Swifties invade Super Bowl betting markets with strange Taylor Swift prop bets
YouTube: Official ESPNThe Taylor Swift fan base has made a direct collision with the sports betting industry ahead of Super Bowl LVIII. With the influx of Swifties comes a fresh batch of uniquely odd prop bets for the game.
It’s no secret — Taylor Swift has quickly become a bonafide NFL icon, thanks to her budding romance with Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce. And the pop star has brought many fans over to the football world with her.
Sports talk shows have talked about Swift’s impact ad nauseam over the past couple of months, but the discourse has only ramped up after Kelce and the Chiefs secured a place in Super Bowl LVIII.
Some within the media argue that Swift’s presence is fabulous for the league, while others claim that Swifties have bombarded the football lexicon by stealing headlines from deserving players.
Taylor Swift’s Super Bowl LVIII prop bets are… odd
One area that is noticeably different for this Super Bowl compared to past events is the long list of “prop bets” that involve Swift.
Notable props include:
•Will Taylor Swift be shown eating a hot dog?
•Could Travis Kelce propose to Swift?
•Would Swift say no to Kelce’s marriage proposal?
•Will Swift be shown wearing a foam finger?
•Will Kelce and Swift announce their first pregnancy at Super Bowl LVIII?
Prop bets have been around for decades, but they typically include things like, “Which color of Gatorade will the winning team douse their head coach in?” and other inconsequential props of that ilk.
The NFL has never had such a prolific relationship feature so prominently in the lead-up to the Super Bowl. Sunday will mark the final chapter of their love story — at least for this football season.
A marriage proposal and pregnancy announcement take the cake of the oddest Swift-related bets. Swifties would surely break the internet if these seemingly unlikely scenarios came to fruition.
