A recent video from Taylor Swift's Eras Tour concert has gone viral, causing a stir on social media with speculation that the pop superstar might be pregnant with NFL star Travis Kelce's child. 

The video, which showcases Swift in a red onesie, has been viewed nearly 5 million times on X (formerly Twitter), igniting discussions over her alleged "baby bump."

"Looks like my wife right now who is 15 weeks," said one reply on X, commenting on the appearance of Swift's midsection in the video.

However, many fans and social media users have quickly come to Swift's defense, criticizing the video for promoting an unrealistic portrayal of women's bodies and jumping to conclusions about pregnancy.

 "Or maybe she's on her period OR gained a little happy relationship weight OR just has a pooch like most women do. 

Stop assuming women are pregnant just because they have a little belly," a user vehemently wrote on Threads, highlighting the issue with such assumptions.

With six months still remaining on her international tour and the geographical distance between her and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, the rumors have added an unexpected layer of gossip to what is one of America’s most watched celebrity relationships.

Despite the frenzy online, there has been no confirmation or denial from Swift or Kelce regarding the pregnancy rumors, leaving the viral speculation as just that—speculation.
