TAYLOR SWIFT has hinted she will perform at the Super Bowl in February.
She delighted fans this week by announcing her new album The Life Of A Showgirl on boyfriend Travis Kelce’s sports podcast.

But as well as revealing the title and tracklist of her 12th record, the singer also planted clues — known as Easter eggs — suggesting she could headline the gridiron final.
It will be held at the Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California with NFL star Travis’s team, Kansas City Chiefs, tipped to contest it.
During the New Heights podcast, Taylor referred to the number 47 — and eagle-eyed fans noted that her 47th show during The Eras Tour was at the Levi’s Stadium.
Taylor thanked Travis and his brother, fellow American football star Jason Kelce, for “screaming for 47 seconds” — and joked she performed in “47,000 countries” on her recent global concert tour.

She added: “I love numerology, I love math stuff, I love dates. That’s stuff I find really fun.”
It seems she also loves colour — and the orange theme on her new album cover could be another nod to the Super Bowl.
California is home to Orange County, named after the fruit’s abundance in the area.
Glass microphone
And Kansas City Chiefs play in a kit that is red and yellow — the two colours that mix to make orange.
Fans also believe Taylor’s choice to announce her new album on a podcast dedicated largely to American football is a further pointer to her performing at the big game.
Taylor and Travis, who confirmed they were dating in 2023, sealed their romance with a kiss at the 2024 Super Bowl, following the Chiefs’ win that year.

The pair also smooched at a game last January, following a crunch match.
During the podcast, they chatted in front of a bookcase filled with Super Bowl clues.
The Lombardi Trophy, awarded to the game’s winning side, can be seen in the middle of the bookcase.
Elsewhere a glass microphone sits on a shelf near a figurine of Travis in his Kansas City Chiefs kit.
But perhaps the most telling clue is that Taylor was rumoured to have turned down offers to perform at the Super Bowl in order to focus on re-recording her first six albums.
But on May 30, she announced she had won the battle to obtain the master recordings of them in a deal with Shamrock Capital.
In a letter on her website she wrote: “All of the music I’ve ever made . . . now belongs . . . to me.”
Looks like it’s game on for the Super Bowl.

Cheat show axed
NETFLIX dating show Cheat: Unfinished Business has been axed after just a single series – although one of the platform’s hits.
Starring Amanda Holden and Paul Brunson, it saw eight former couples, who split over infidelity, head to a luxury retreat in Majorca to work out their differences.
A source said: “Netflix has decided to pursue new formats – but bosses love Amanda and are in talks with her on three different show ideas.”
Meanwhile, Paul has had huge success with his podcast We Need To Talk, and as a relationship expert on E4’s Celebs Go Dating.
Kate is all smoke and mirrors
SHE was regarded as the greatest smoker of all time, during her Nineties heyday, and it seems supermodel Kate Moss still loves the habit.
She has been modelling for Yves Saint Laurent’s Fall 2025 campaign, entitled Velvet Heat.

Her business, The Kate Moss Agency, posted footage from the shoot on Instagram and Kate is seen in a series of poses holding a cigarette.
She is laying on a beach in one shot, and with fur coat in another – both times with cig in hand.
But a video posted by YSL, above, shows NO tab in Kate’s hand – it seems it may have been edited out.
Kate told The Sunday Times in 2023: “I still smoke occasionally. I’ve heard that when you stop, you can really tell [by your skin]. But I haven’t stopped yet.”
Well, old habits do die hard, I suppose.

Roll up roll up to Jama school
SHE moved to London aged 16 to pursue her dream of presenting – and now Maya Jama is launching a nationwide search for the next young stars.
I can reveal the Love Island host has applied to trademark MIJ Mentorships, after she posted on Instagram that she is “incredibly excited” about the talent hunt.

She billed it as “a brand new opportunity for early career women from underrepresented backgrounds in the creative industries”.
She added: “We will match five aspiring creatives with mentors from my own network with expertise in TV production, broadcasting, fashion, communications and marketing, and talent management. We’re looking for women at an aspiring, entry or junior-level career stage, who have not had a mentor before and come from a historically under-represented background.
“Whether you dream of being in front of the camera or behind the scenes, this is your chance.”
Speaking of moving to the capital as a teen, Bristol-born Maya previously said: “I was broke – pretending I’d lost my Oyster public- transport card so I could get to work, hustling my way around London, having £1 chicken-shop meals.”
Hard yards, Maya.
Ed’s film tribute to Gran
ED SHEERAN is gearing up to release new album Play – but it seems he is also getting into filmmaking.
The Shape Of You hitmaker has set up Craanford Pictures LLP at Companies House.

Ed and his cousin, screenwriter Murray Cummings – who directed 2018 documentary Ed Sheeran: Songwriter – are both listed as members of the partnership.
It seems the company name holds special meaning for Ed, as his beloved Irish gran, Anne Mary Sheeran, was from Craanford in Co Wexford.
Ed had to miss her funeral in 2023 due to his copyright trial in New York.
During a eulogy at the service, Ed’s Irish dad John said: “I am very sad our son Edward is unable to be here today. He’s so upset he cannot be present – he has to be thousands of miles away in a court in America defending his integrity.”
I’m sure she would be very proud of you, Ed.
Lucy’s El of a spit
ROCKERS Wolf Alice release new album The Clearing next week – but fans could be seeing double in the band’s video for their track Just Two Girls.
I am told Bohemian Rhapsody actress Lucy Boynton stars in the promo and is the spitting image of the group’s lead singer Ellie Rowsell.

Don’t Delete The Kisses hitmakers Wolf Alice filmed a ball scene at Freemasons’ Hall in central London last weekend ahead of the release of their fourth album.
SJP got weepy
SARAH JESSICA PARKER admits she welled up as the Sex And The City reboot ended this week.
The actress, who played single girl Carrie, responded to a fan online after the final series of HBO’s And Just Like That wrapped.
She wrote: “Very weepy xxx.”
Sex And The City had six runs from 1998 to 2004, and also starred Kristin Davis, Kim Cattrall and Cynthia Nixon.
And Just Like That ran for three series from 2021, without Kim’s character Samantha Jones.
Raye is Abs Fab sister
RISING star Absolutely has told how big sister Raye gave her fashion advice when she was starting out.
Goodbye Glitter singer Absolutely now designs all her own outfits, and Raye’s best steer was introducing her to visual discovery platform Pinterest.

Absolutely, real name Abby-Lynn Keen, said: “She showed me Pinterest because I didn’t dress very well. I love to experiment but my looks weren’t great, so she was like: ‘you should really take fashion seriously.’
“She showed me different designers, how to gather inspiration and mood boards. So that was helpful. I got into fashion through that.”
Absolutely, who recently released her new track I Just Don’t Know Yet, will play the All Points East Festival in East London next Saturday, where Raye will headline.
Absolutely now has both killer voice and wardrobe.
This week who would I…
