Feb. 2 (UPI) -- Sportsbooks are jumping into the media magnetism of the Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce union ahead of Super Bowl LVIII, providing a batch of odds related to the pop singer and All-Pro tight end ahead of the big game. Odds related to "Taylor's tailor's husband," a potential Kelce proposal and a surprise Swift halftime performance circulated to the websites within the last week, after the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Baltimore Ravens to advance to the Super Bowl.

The Chiefs will face the San Francisco 49ers in the title game at 6:30 p.m. EST Feb. 11 in Las Vegas.
ESPN Bet lists a section of prop bets titled "Swelce Specials," referencing the pop star and her NFL boyfriend.
That sportsbook's "Taylor's Tailor's Husband" references Kristin Juszczyk, the wife of 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk, who created a jacket for Swift that she wore while attending a recent Chiefs game. That specific bet is for the 49ers fullback to score against the Chiefs.
ESPN Bet also lists odds titled "MVP Swelce" -- for Kelce to win MVP -- and "Swift Action" -- for a touchdown within the first 2 minutes of the game.
While Swift hasn't said publicly if she will attend, Covers.com lists odds concerning a potential CBS broadcast of Swift's flight from her concert in Japan to Las Vegas, the color of her outfit and if she will hug or kiss members of the Kelce family.
The sportsbook also listed odds for how many times Swift will be shown during the national anthem (over/under 1.5).
Other sportsbooks provide odds on if the Super Bowl LVIII MVP will mention Swift in his postgame speech, including FanDuel Canada.
That sportsbook also lists odds for an on-field marriage proposal and for Swift to be a special guest performer at halftime, when Usher is scheduled to entertain the crowd at Allegiant Stadium.
Alicia Keys, Ludacris, Lil Jon and Nicki Minaj are among the other artists with odds listed for special guest performers.
BetOline.AG also is providing Swift-related odds, including those tied to her outfit at the Grammy Awards, which will be held Sunday night in Los Angeles.
That website includes odds for what color lipstick Swift will wear at the Super Bowl and if her parents will attend the game. BetOnline.AG also lists odds for who could be included in a hypothetical Swift-Kelce wedding party.
Swift is scheduled to perform concerts for the Eras Tour next week in Tokyo. Her schedule includes shows Wednesday, Thursday, Feb. 9 and 10 at the Tokyo Dome.
She will return to the tour for a Feb. 16 show in Melbourne, Australia.
Swift's Feb. 10 show is scheduled to start at 6 p.m. local time in Japan. Tokyo time is 17 hours ahead of Pacific Time in the United States, which means it will be 1 a.m. Feb. 10 in Las Vegas when Swift's show starts. If the show lasts five hours, Swift would finish about 6 a.m. PST on the day before the Super Bowl.
If the "Shake it Off" singer took an 11- or 12-hour flight from Tokyo at that time, she would land in Las Vegas on the night of Feb. 10, with plenty of time to recover from any potential jet lag before the Super Bowl LVIII kickoff.
Swift told Time magazine in December that she started hanging out with the Chiefs star immediately after he mentioned his interest in her in July on his New Heights podcast.
She attended her first Chiefs game, cheering from a luxury box alongside Kelce's mom, Sept. 24 in Kansas City, Mo. The Chiefs went 9-3 overall in the 12 games Swift attended during the regular season and playoffs. Kelce scored in four of those games.
Kansas City enters the Super Bowl on a four-game winning streak in Swift-attended games.
