You can’t wager on anything related to Taylor Swift’s Super Bowl LVIII presence at legal online sportsbooks in the United States. These bets aren’t offered.
Sports betting states mostly prohibit bets on outcomes that don’t affect the game’s result. For example, you also can’t bet on the length of the Super Bowl national anthem. Sometimes special exceptions are made, like the color of the Gatorade shower.
Still, Swift will be a star of the Big Game in Las Vegas, and many people will be watching partly because of her. Swift has attended Kansas City Chiefs games since September, thanks to her romantic relationship with star tight end Travis Kelce. The two began dating in 2023.
The Taylor Swift Effect
FanDuel Sportsbook has observed increased attention on Kelce. FanDuel CEO Amy Howe noted late last year that betting interest in Kelce had doubled.
DraftKings Sportsbook said in late January that Kelce received 30% of all betting dollars for Super Bowl LVIII’s first TD scorer prop bet.
Tight ends have scored the third-most Super Bowl touchdowns over the last 20 years, trailing wide receivers and running backs. Kelce has two career Super Bowl TDs.
However, it’s safe to say that Kelce shouldn’t have 30% of the handle, as tight ends produced only two of the past 20 first touchdowns in Super Bowls. So, it’s probably more of the Swift effect.
Kelce is also a popular choice for Super Bowl MVP, despite his position never winning the award.
