Before Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce ever met face to face, a mysterious tarot card reading may have subtly nudged the stars into alignment for their unexpected romance. According to a conversation on the Nice Girls Don’t Win podcast aired on May 21, Marielle Hadid — half-sister of supermodel Gigi Hadid revealed that she once pulled a tarot card that seemingly predicted the singer’s future love connection with the NFL star.
As reported by E! News, the reading took place around the time Travis Kelce made headlines in July 2023 for expressing his admiration for Swift on his New Heights podcast . While Kelce playfully mentioned how disappointed he was to miss meeting Taylor during her Eras Tour stop in Kansas City, the universe may have already been at work behind the scenes with Marielle picking up on those energetic signals.
The reading that foresaw something ‘Swift’
Marielle shared that the tarot card she drew mentioned something happening “Swiftly” an eerie nod to Taylor’s surname. Though she couldn’t remember the exact card or deck, she was certain that the message pointed toward something big on the horizon. The reading happened shortly before Swift and Kelce actually connected with Marielle attending the Eras Tour’s Santa Clara stop just days after Kelce’s public shout-out.
In her own words, Marielle told the podcast, “I had pulled a card for her and I had seen something where her boyfriend had said he wanted to date her and I told Gigi that I thought they should date.” She jokingly added, “I take all responsibility for that, except if they break up, it’s not my problem.”
How Taylor reacted to the mystical moment
Swift herself found the tarot connection both bizarre and intriguing. While she had never previously experienced a tarot reading, she reportedly thought it was “Machiavellian and cryptic,” according to E! News. Marielle recalled the singer’s fascination with the moment, describing it as “really cool.”
Travis’s podcast comment that changed everything
The moment that caught Taylor’s attention wasn’t just magical but it was actually public. On New Heights, Kelce playfully said he was “butthurt” about missing a chance to give Swift a friendship bracelet during her Kansas City concert. Taylor later revealed to Time magazine that the gesture felt both bold and endearing. She described it as “metal as hell” and said it made a strong impression.
Following that, the couple began spending time together privately before going public with their relationship, giving them the space to genuinely connect. What started as a casual comment and a mystical tarot card might have ended up shaping one of pop culture’s most talked-about romances.
So whether you believe in fate, the stars or simply well-timed podcast mentions, there’s no denying that this love story had a little help from the universe and maybe a deck of tarot cards too.
