Taylor Swift has been rumored to appear in Deadpool 3, officially titled Deadpool & Wolverine. The movie will feature Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman's characters teaming up to fight a common enemy, as they transition from Fox's X-Men universe to Disney's Marvel Cinematic Universe.
For a long time, fans have loved seeing Swift as Dazzler, a member of the X-Men who is also a pop star with the ability to turn music into light and energy. We saw a glimpse of this character in the 2019 movie X-Men: Dark Phoenix, where she was portrayed by Halston Sage.
Because of Swift's popularity as a pop star and her close relationship with Reynolds and his wife, Blake Lively, many fans have been speculating that she might make her debut in the Marvel movie releasing on July 26. It's worth mentioning that she even dressed up as Reynolds' character, Deadpool, for Halloween in 2016.

Connections in the ‘All Too Well’ Short Film
Swift unveiled the short film for the extended 10-minute edition of her track “All Too Well” in November 2021. The film features Sadie Sink and Dylan O’Brien in leading roles, with a cameo by Shawn Levy, known for directing Deadpool and Wolverine, as Sink's character's father.
Reynolds revealed in September 2022 that Jackman would reprise his role as Wolverine in the upcoming Deadpool film, delighting fans. Swifties were excited to point out that the social media video seemed to be shot in the same location as the “All Too Well” short film.
In a similar vein, Lively posted a picture on Instagram that same month of her and Reynolds, with Reynolds dressed in his Deadpool outfit, posing on what appeared to be the staircase of their house. This led many followers to believe that the scene was indeed captured in the couple's home.

Supporting the Chiefs
Taylor Swift kept fans speculating about a potential Deadpool & Wolverine cameo by inviting her famous friends - Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Hugh Jackman, Eugene Levy, and Sophie Turner - to join her at a Kansas City Chiefs vs. New York Jets game in October 2023. Sophie Turner, known for her role as Jean Grey in the X-Men movies, was also present in the singer's star-studded suite.
Coy Comments
During an interview with Entertainment Tonight in April 2024, Levy playfully refused to comment on Swift's possible involvement in the film. He jokingly expressed disbelief at the question and teased that he couldn't answer it. Levy neither confirmed nor denied Swift's casting in the interview, adding humor by suggesting he might walk out of the frame to save himself from Ryan's wrath.
Analysis of 'Clara Bow' Lyrics
After Taylor Swift released her 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, in April 2024, some fans started to think that the song "Clara Bow" might have a reference to Dazzler. The word "dazzling" is repeated in the chorus and at the end of the track.
