- Taylor’s “sourdough era” may be an easter egg for her being the Super Bowl 60 Halftime performer.
- Grind City Media ties all her bread talk to the San Francisco 49ers’ mascot, Sourdough Sam.
- Another sign points to Taylor’s mention of “47 seconds” and the 47th Eras Tour stop being Levi’s Stadium, home of the San Francisco 49ers.
Taylor Swift’s “sourdough era” might not be about carbs at all. According to Grind City Media’s Jessica Benson, it could actually be a halftime-show-sized Easter egg. Insert *pretends to be shocked GIF* here. Swifties are already known for treating Taylor’s every move like a breadcrumb trail, but this one might be leading straight to Super Bowl 60.
Let’s back up. Just this week, Taylor revealed on New Heights—the podcast hosted by her beau Travis Kelce and his brother Jason—that she thinks about sourdough “60% of the time.” She described how much she’s baking and how deep she’s gone into the bread rabbit hole, leading to a slew of headlines about Taylor officially going full carb. We even wrote about it here at Delish, wondering if she was slowly becoming the patron saint of fermentation.
But Benson thinks otherwise. In a new clip, she breaks down the theory: Super Bowl 60 will be played at Levi’s Stadium, home of the San Francisco 49ers. Their mascot? None other than Sourdough Sam. Suddenly, the sourdough chatter doesn’t feel so random.
It doesn’t stop there. Benson also notes that Taylor thanked fans for screaming “for 47 seconds” at a past show—Levi’s Stadium just so happened to be the 47th stop on the Eras Tour. Add it all up, and sourdough starts looking less like a hobby and more like a clue baked right into the halftime chatter.
Now, am I, a secret 33-year-old Swiftie, saying Taylor Swift is performing at Super Bowl 60? Not officially. But am I now side-eyeing every baguette I see, wondering if it’s a coded message from her? You betcha.
