What Is Taylor Swift Drinking at the Super Bowl?
Watch this space for real-time updates, but if Swift’s Grammy night dress and leg jewelry were in homage to the Chiefs, could her Champagne choice give us a clue to what she’ll be drinking—and who she’ll be drinking it with—at Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans this Sunday? We’re not saying that Jay-Z, Bey, Blue Ivy, Rumi and Sir will be bringing his Ace of Spades Champagne and her SirDavis whisky to Swift’s Super Bowl luxury box. But we’re not not saying it …
