Doll sporting number '87' sparks theories about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce
According to Billboard, during a scene, Selena Gomez's character, Mabel Mora, sits next to a life-size doll that closely resembles Taylor Swift, complete with blonde hair and bangs.
Adding to the intrigue, the doll is dressed in a jersey featuring the number "87," which is the Kansas City Chiefs number worn by Swift's boyfriend, Kelce.
Swift herself has been seen sporting various "87" accessories at games, further linking the doll to the pop star's real-life relationship.
This episode aired just over a month after Gomez hinted at the possibility of a Swift cameo during an interview with E! News. When asked about the chance of Swift appearing on the show, Gomez playfully remarked, "She's a little busy, you guys."
The conversation took a lighthearted turn when a reporter suggested that Swift could simply walk by in an episode. Gomez responded, “I love that.”
Martin added his thoughts, saying, “Here’s how I unite Taylor Swift and Selena. Taylor Swift handles everything perfectly, and so does Selena. In the situations I've seen—politically, trolls, everything—she just seems to have a wisdom about how to do something quietly, effortlessly. And I know that you have to think about these things.”
