Pop megastar Taylor Swift plans to support her partner, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, at the Super Bowl, but rumors and misinformation surrounding their relationship have been circulating. To fact check these claims, here is what we found:
Claim: Taylor Swift wore a T-shirt on stage that read Who’s the Ravens anyway? Ew.
Fact Check: This claim is false. A manipulated video clip on social media shows Taylor Swift wearing a T-shirt that actually says Who is Taylor Swift? Ew. The original video was posted during Swift’s concert tour in March 2023 and features her wearing the shirt during a performance of her song 22. The altered version falsely references the AFC Conference Championship game against the Baltimore Ravens.
Claim: Taylor Swift was escorted to an NFL stadium by the police.
Fact Check: This claim is incorrect. A video circulating on social media, showing a motorcade escorted by police cars, is actually footage of former US President Donald Trump on his way to a primary in Des Moines, Iowa. The video was originally posted by Trump’s deputy communications director, Margo Martin, with a caption clearly indicating Trump’s arrival in Des Moines.
Claim: Pictures show Taylor Swift painted red and wearing only a thong among Chiefs fans.
Fact Check: This claim is false. There is no evidence of Taylor Swift being photographed in such a situation. The circulating images appear to be generated using artificial intelligence, as details are distorted, numbers are displayed incorrectly, and body parts are in unnatural positions. Additionally, considering the number of people present at the stadium, it is unlikely that only a few staged pictures would exist, and no one else would have captured and shared them.
In conclusion, these claims involving Taylor Swift and her relationship with Travis Kelce have been fact-checked and found to be false or misleading. It’s important to verify information before believing and spreading it further.
