With the upcoming Super Bowl, many Sportsbooks are releasing new props specifically for the big NFL game -- including some relating to Taylor Swiftand Travis Kelce.
As you know, Taylor and Travis's relationship has been in the spotlight ever since the pop icon showed up at a Chiefs game to support Travis earlier this season.
Most recently, the 'Red' singer showed up at the AFC Championship game where the Chiefs beat the Baltimore Ravens, sending them to the Super Bowl.
Now, with the big game just days away, Sportsbook sites are catching in on Travis and Taylor's relationship.
Taylor Swift Related Bets Have Sportsbooks Cashing In
Are you ready for it?
Canada's Sportsbook FanDuel is taking bets on whether Travis Kelce will propose to Taylor Swift at the Super Bowl. The odds are in favor of the NFL star not getting down on one knee, as it opened at +190 for yes and -250 for no, per DailyMail.
These odds come despite many sources claiming the two will get engaged in 2024, including celebrity astrologer Susan Miller. Others, however, are stating that the couple is still far away from taking the next step in their relationship.
Other notable Super Bowl props include if Travis Kelce will mention the pop star during his speech if the Chiefs win the Super Bowl, or if Taylor Swift will make a surprise appearance during Usher's halftime show.
And the biggest one? If Taylor will make it to the Super Bowl despite having a show in Tokyo the night before.
Taylor's show is estimated to end around 10 p.m. Tokyo time, which gives her a few hours to hop on her private jet and take the flight to Las Vegas to support her boyfriend. While Taylor has not confirmed this herself, a source close to the pop star says she will do anything she can to be there for Travis.
This comes after another source previously came out and claimed that “if Travis’ team goes to the Super Bowl then no doubt it will be Taylor making the trip to support him, even if it means flying across the world to be there.”
SportsBooks Playing Into The Taylor Swift Effect
Unfortunately for those residing in the United States, you won't be able to bet on Taylor Swift, as Front Office Sports reports the states that do legalize sports betting must have its props related to an official on-field statistic or game outcome.
They are, however, doing everything they can to try and include Taylor Swift in some prop bets.
"We're talking about what props we can make that are Taylor Swift-related," Sunny Gupta, the manager at Tipico sportsbook, said via FOS. "We are trying to play into the Taylor Swift effect, because we expect more viewers than ever for this game with the Swifties tuned in, and hopefully that results in more handle."
Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs will take on the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, February 11 during Super Bowl LVII. The big game will take place in Las Vegas.
