Taylor Swift is arguably the most popular pop star on the face of the earth right now. The 14-time Grammy Award winner is a frequent attendee of Kansas City Chiefs games to support her boyfriend Travis Kelce. Despite Swift constantly walking around with a swarm of security around her, at times, she does not mind indulging her fans in some casual conversation.

A video has been making rounds on popular social media sites, notably X wherein an NFL fan walks up to Taylor Swift and asks her to tell Travis Kelce that he messed up his parlay. While it may appear legit, it is not, the woman in the video is not Taylor Swift. Although, she does bear a great deal of similarity to her.

The interaction starts with the fan asking, “Taylor Swift, can you tell Travis Kelce he f***** my parlay up the other day?” to which the pop star asks him in a concerned tone, “What happened?” The video is not of the best quality which makes it hard to determine if the woman is Taylor Swift or not. She is blonde and has bangs similar to the pop star while wearing the same shade of lipstick as her. All of these reasons are convincing enough for fans to believe that she is Taylor Swift. However, her voice is not the same as the real T-Swift.

The real identity of the woman resembling Taylor Swift remains unknown

The fan then goes on to claim that Kelce failed to go over 55 yards which cost him his parlay.

He was supposed to get 55 yards but he got 53 yards and sat on the bench after that…you’re going to have to talk to him when you get home.

The fan goes on to state

The woman who looks like Taylor Swift responds with, “What’s going on with him?…I’ll punish him for you, no worries.” Then she politely asks him what the fan would have the tight end do in order for him to cash out on his next parlay.

The entire interaction progresses in a seamless manner and apart from the woman’s resemblance to Taylor Swift, the fact that she is walking with a woman by her side and another person whose face is not clearly visible but looks like a personal guard makes it convincing.

The biggest telltale sign that can be used to judge if this video is real or not would be the fan’s parlay. The fan claims that Travis Kelce had 53 yards and then sat on the bench for the rest of the game, however, the tight end for the Chiefs has not had that exact number of yards in any game this season.

Through seven games, Kelce has had his struggles and has put up 34, 5, 30, 89, 70, 17, and 90 yards respectively. So the fan saw a Swift lookalike and decided to have some fun or the entire thing was staged for entertainment purposes. The woman in the video is not Taylor Swift and her identity remains a mystery.
