In 2015, a rumor involving Taylor Swift’s feet spread like wildfire on social media.
Taylor was preparing to embark on a world tour to promote her film. 1989 The tour for the album is a strange affair compared to the ongoing Eras Tour and it was reported that her team has decided to take extreme precautions.
National Enquirer The report said that those who financed the tour also insured Taylor’s legs for $40 million.
Rumor: Taylor Swift’s feet are insured for $40 million
It sounds crazy. But considering the money Taylor’s backers made from the tour, it wasn’t completely impossible.
Of course, The Inquirer Not the most reliable source on these matters.
And it’s worth noting that rumours like “so and so celebrity’s most famous body part is insured for a huge amount of money” have a long history.
Usually, these are nothing more than fan speculation or a publicity stunt concocted by an ambitious PR professional.
So will it be the same this time too? Well, it is difficult to say.
Interestingly, Taylor has never confirmed or denied that her legs are worth eight figures.
He DidHowever, people on social media are making fun of the situation.
Taylor tweeted a photo of her leg that showed a long bruise. The caption read:
“Great job Meredith. I was just trying to make love to you and now you owe me 40 million dollars.”
Our conclusion: The rumor is probably false
This joke about his cat was an amusing way of acknowledging the rumors without directly commenting on them.
However, this led many of Taylor’s fans to conclude that the rumors were true. They argued that the singer did not want to confirm the rumors because she was afraid of seeming pampered and out of reach.
But if we had to guess, we’d say Taylor has legs No They are not currently insured, nor were they ever insured. At least not for such a large amount.
As noted in a recently published article The Hollywood Reporter It is said that rumors of body part insurance have been appearing in newspapers since the 1940s.
Some of the claims were semi-legitimate (Betty Grable’s legs were insured for $1 million, but the primary goal was to gain publicity). However, most of the claims were unfounded.
The truth is that there is no record of an insurance policy for any of Taylor’s body parts. And maintaining such an expensive policy would probably be a huge hassle.
There was once a similar rumor about Julia Roberts’ smile. The actress dismissed these reports, saying:
“If my smile was insured, someone would come to my house every night and say, ‘You need to floss your teeth for a long time.'”
We don’t know for sure if the leg rumor is false or not. But Taylor is a billionaire, and we can’t imagine she’d tolerate constant meddling from Allstate’s celebrity limb division.
