After Taylor Swift left the Grammys without any awards and her boyfriend’s team suffered a loss at the Super Bowl 2025, Swifties have come up with a theory regarding the singer’s current streak of misfortune.
In 2024, the Kansas City Chiefs secured a back-to-back Super Bowl victory and Swift earned her fourth ‘Album of the Year’ Grammy.
It was undoubtedly a successful year for both Swift and her partner, Travis Kelce, raising expectations for 2025 with similar stakes. Swift was nominated for ‘Album of the Year’ once more, and Kelce’s team was headed to the Super Bowl for the third year in a row, until their aspirations were thwarted.
Now, after the Chiefs’ disheartening loss on Sunday and Swift’s Grammy disappointment, her fans have started to believe that something else might be influencing the couple’s recent setbacks.
Swifties are speculating that a new piece of jewelry in Swift’s collection may be cursed, as she wore it to both the Grammy Awards and the Super Bowl game. The ‘Cardigan’ singer delighted fans as she appeared on the Grammys red carpet with a ‘T’ chain on her upper thigh, seemingly paying homage to her Kansas City Chiefs boyfriend.
Photos of the pendant quickly circulated online, heightening fans’ excitement about one of the world’s most talked-about couples, especially after she donned it during the game as well.
Considering this was the only novel and shared element at the Grammys and Super Bowl, fans think it might be bringing bad luck to Swift and her partner.
One fan shared on Twitter: “It’s the damn ’T’ necklace she had it at the Grammys and got snubbed, now she wore it again and her team lost. Taylor, please buy another one and let that one go.” Another commented: “Taylor Swift take that T necklace OFF it’s a curse.”
This theory arises after the Chiefs’ 40 to 22 loss to the Eagles, marking their third consecutive appearance at the NFL Championship final.
Swift has been a devoted supporter of her boyfriend’s career since the start of their relationship, frequently attending games and often congratulating him on the field after a victory.
Before the game, speculation was mounting about whether NFL tight end Kelce would propose to Swift if his team achieved a third win. However, the loss on Sunday seemingly put those rumors to rest, with Kelce himself saying after the match: “We haven’t played that badly all year.” Could there be other forces at work?
Additionally, the Chiefs’ defeat wasn’t the only unfortunate event from Sunday night’s game; Swift received a loud round of boos when the audience camera focused on her, leaving the singer visibly confused.
Though the football season is now over until September, it remains uncertain if Swift will consider her fans’ suggestions.
