Taylor Swift fans convinced themselves that the pop star was pregnant this week thanks to an optical illusion.
The rumor mill went into overdrive after the 35-year-old stepped out in New York with what appeared to be a pregnant belly on display.
Is Taylor Swift pregnant?
‘She’s eight months pregnant,’ wrote one fan on X, while another posted, ‘Taylor appears pregnant in New York!’
However, upon closer inspection, it was clear that Swift’s black mini-dress had blended into a black car in the background, which made it look like she had a large baby bump.

The way she was standing near a black SUV made her stomach appear rounder, leading fans to speculate if she’s expecting a baby with Travis Kelce.

Are Taylor Swift and Blake Lively still friends?
The misunderstanding comes as an insider exclusively revealed that Swift’s ex-best friend Blake Lively, her texts, calls and emails to the singer are going unanswered.
How long has Taylor Swift been friends with Blake Lively?
Swift is said to have iced out her pal of ten years, due to feeling ‘betrayed’ and ‘exploited’ by Lively, 37.
‘She’s been reaching out to her with texts, voicemails and even emails begging to mend what they once had. Blake isn’t giving up on trying to get her friendship with Taylor back on track,’ the source said.
‘Taylor hasn’t responded to any of Blake’s pleas. She’s ignored all her groveling excuses. The missives explain there must be some misunderstanding on Taylor’s part and that she would never do anything to harm their ten years of closeness and personal secrets.’
