The market resolves to Yes if Taylor Swift performs at or is announced to perform at the 2027 Pro Football Championship Halftime Show on February 14, 2027.

The market resolves to Yes if Taylor Swift is officially announced as the headliner for the Pro Football Championship Halftime Show before February 15, 2027. Otherwise, it resolves to No. Readers often mistake any public appearance or speculation about her performing for an official announcement.
- Alexander McQueen — the market puts it at 1%, with $468 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 31 Dec 2026. The market resolves to Yes if Taylor Swift is documented wearing an Alexander McQueen wedding dress during her first wedding ceremony with Travis Kelce while exchanging vows. It resolves to No if this specific event does not occur.
