Will Travis Kelce propose to Taylor Swift after Super Bowl 58? Yes, you can bet on that (in Canada)
The romance between Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has been one of the ongoing storylines this season. And with the Chiefs meeting the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl 58, it was only natural to ask if sportsbooks would have novelty props up surrounding the couple.
Sports betting is legal in 38 states, along with Washington D.C., but legal U.S. sportsbooks are only able to offer proposition wagers (props) on actions that are decided on the field. In other words, nothing related to the length of the national anthem, over/under cutaway shots of Swift, etc.

Yes, that prop is now available for betting at @FanDuelCanada:

But in Canada, novelty Super Bowl props are allowed at sportsbooks — and FanDuel Canada has taken advantage by offering a market: Will Travis Kelce propose to Taylor Swift on the field after Super Bowl 58?
The “yes” was the underdog at +190, while “no” was the favorite at -250 on Monday afternoon. In 30 minutes after the above post on X, the odds shifted to “yes” +1120 and “no” as a massive favorite at -3500 (bet $35 to win $1).
In the wide world of expanding sports betting legalization, I’m not sure I thought I’d ever see a legal Taylor Swift-related prop bet, but here we are.
If you can get to Canada and sign up for FanDuel, bet away.
