Overview

• Fans seized on Swift’s Aug. 15 New Heights podcast appearance, interpreting her sourdough obsession as a nod to Sourdough Sam, the 49ers’ mascot, and Levi’s Stadium’s role as Super Bowl LX host.
• Followers noted Swift’s mentions of “47,” “60” and her favorite number “13,” tying them to her 47th Eras Tour stop at Levi’s Stadium, next year’s 60th Super Bowl and her personal numerology.
• Observers highlighted a partially visible Lombardi Trophy on the podcast set and a Levi’s‐branded TikTok post as circumstantial clues fueling unverified theories.
• Swift’s May 2025 repurchase of her master recordings, paired with Apple Music replacing Pepsi as halftime sponsor, has removed previously cited business hurdles to her taking the stage.
• Neither Taylor Swift nor NFL officials have commented on the speculation; the league typically names its halftime performer in September.
