Following her record-setting win at the Grammys and the announcement of her new studio album, "The Tortured Poets Department," all eyes are on Swift as her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, and the Kansas City Chiefs gear up to take on the San Francisco 49ers on February 11 in Las Vegas.

Gambling sites are capitalizing on the anticipation surrounding Swift's potential Super Bowl appearance by offering a series of intriguing prop bets. These side wagers are unrelated to the game itself and cover various scenarios involving the pop superstar. A prominent question among bettors is whether Swift will be able to make it to Vegas from her Tokyo tour date on February 10. According to calculations and confirmation from Japan's embassy in the U.S., it seems plausible.

While the consensus leans towards Swift gracing the Super Bowl, other enticing prop bets have captured the attention of gamblers. These include how many times CBS will feature Swift on camera during the telecast, the shade of lipstick she might wear, and even speculation on whether she will endorse President Biden's reelection (a theory circulating in some MAGA circles). Another intriguing possibility is whether Kelce will propose to Swift after the game.

BetOnline, a Panama-based gambling site, has compiled a whopping 89 Swift-related Super Bowl bets, paying tribute to her birth year and the album "1989." However, it is important to note that most of the wagers placed on the Super Bowl will likely focus on the game outcome rather than these novelty bets. Analysts project that Americans will bet a staggering $1.3 billion on Super Bowl LVIII, marking a nearly 20% increase from last year.

Typically, prop bets on the Super Bowl have revolved around the halftime show, but this year's inclusion of Usher has taken a back seat to the volume of wagers placed on Taylor Swift props. Tim Williams, the director of PR at BetUS in Costa Rica, suggests that Swift may give the halftime show a literal run for its money in terms of betting volume.

As feverish excitement builds up, gambling sites and bettors are embracing the opportunity to speculate on Taylor Swift's presence at the Super Bowl. While these prop bets add an extra layer of excitement to the event, it is important to remember that they are meant for entertainment purposes and should not overshadow the true essence of the game.

While we wait for the Super Bowl event, fans and bettors enjoy engaging in these peculiar prop bets linked to Taylor Swift, keeping themselves entertained and eagerly awaiting the big game.
