Taylor Swift Just Won Again, And This Time In Nevada

How long has it been since you said the name Taylor Swift? Probably not long. The singer's name is undoubtedly one of the most googled terms in the world right now. Thanks to her high profile relationship with Travis Kelce, her recent record-breaking Grammy win, and being Time Magazine's first entertainer Person of the Year for 2023. Hot doesn't even being to describe Swift's status right now. The woman is scorching.

It's no surprise that Taylor Swift was also just named the most in-demand artist in Nevada. Planet 7 Casino recently released data showing which touring artists come with the hottest tickets in 2024. And Swift's Eras Tour landed at the top of that list. Due to its popularity, the tour has been extended into this year. It landed in Las Vegas in March of 2023. And the ticket resale costs for her shows made history. With some priced at $11,000.

But it's the data focusing on the search for the tickets that made the real impression. For the study, Planet 7 Casino used over 190 search terms. And compiled a list of which artists' tickets were most searched for. Taylor Swift fans showed an average of 659,333 searches per month for tickets to one of her Eras tour shows. That was 35.1% of the total number of searches for any show tickets.

For context, the second highest percentage was 15.1%, which is what Morgan Wallen's One Night At A Time Tour got in ticket searches. Swift just blew away the competition in the number of fans searching for show tickets. Classics like Blink 182's World Tour, Bruce Springsteen's 2024 World Tour or Metallica's M72 World Tour didn't even come close. With 4.9%, 3.6%, and 3.4% of searches, respectively. 

I wonder how Bruce Springsteen would feel about dating a football player. Just a thought.

Prop betting on the Super Bowl is one of America’s favorite pastimes, and as usual, you can bet on just about ANYTHING related to the game.

They're called "Prop" or proposition bets, and there's a bunch of fun ones this year. And there are a few new and different ones, because of one particular pop artist. Oh hush. You didn't complain when you saw Jack Nicholson, or Spike Lee, or Matthew McConaughey at games, so you just stop!

So when did prop bets start and why? Well the "why?" is pretty simple really: MORE money to be made by sportsbooks in Las Vegas. 

Now the "when:" Prop bets began in 1986. Las Vegas oddsmakers introduced a new form of betting before Super Bowl XX. The Lines explains in depth about the first prop be: Whether William "Refrigerator" Perry would score a Touchdown.

Perry was called on to carry the ball, and he scored a touchdown! It cemented his place in Super Bowl history., and literally made him a legend.

The Bears defensive coordinator Buddy Ryan called Perry a wasted draft pick, and refused to play him, Perry became a fan favorite in Chicago, where he was known for his playful personality and infectious smile. Oh, and let's not forget that Superbowl Shuffle (Or maybe we should). Settle down Bears fans - your time will come again.

The goal of prop bets was obviously to provide a way to attract more casual bettors to place bets on the Super Bowl. But in more ways than just the final score, and point spread.

According to Legal Sports Reports, Super Bowl LVIII betting projections are expected to reach a record $1.3 billion dollars in legal US betting markets. That's not counting all the illegal (as a Las Vegas resident, I say that jokingly) office pools, and little squares you're picking.

Prop betting is hugely popular. And it seems to get more popular each year. Especially since the teams playing are often the same, so prop bets are just more fun. And this year, well - Taylor Swift.

Here are some fun, and goofy novelty "prop bets" you can actually place on the two lovebirds. That is, IF she makes it, and makes it on time.

Chiefs fans are loving it! Niners fans? Well...

We know he probably wouldn't do it after a loss, and the Chiefs are the underdogs - which means nothing. They had a less than stellar season leading up to the Super Bowl - and here the are. Again! Odds on a proposal: Yes +1060, No - 3000.

She's a singer, watching and listening to another singer. Good bet she will be shown. Odds: Yes - 200, No +150. Number of times she will be shown during the Anthem? Over 1.5 - 110, Under 1.5 - +110. Personal opinion? Yep!. But just once. Don't yell at me if I'm wrong.

Most have Kelce at about 69 to 70 yards. Your over/under varies, depending on where you place the bet. But it's a real bet for you football fans.

Most have Kelce at 20.5 to 21.5. You're the football fan, so you decide. Some say he hasn't had the best season, but something has worked - because he's at the Super Bowl.

This writer says yes! I do believe they will get married, and do it by June 2025. They are both very family oriented, and it seems important to them. So go for it T and T! Oddsmakers say: Yes +150, No -200. Place your bets - then wait...
