The girlfriend of Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers has sent the internet into a frenzy after dropping a major hint regarding Taylor Swift’s marital name.
Cameron Rose Newell sparked widespread speculation that the pop superstar has officially taken Travis Kelce’s last name following their secret New York wedding.
Taking to social media on Friday night, Newell shared a glamorous selfie alongside Bowers dressed in their black-tie wedding attire.
However, it was the congratulatory text overlay attached to the picture that immediately caught the attention of millions of fans online.
‘Cheers to the Kelce’s,’ Newell wrote in the caption, heavily implying that both the Kansas City Chiefs star and the pop sensation now share the same surname.
The NFL partner quickly deleted the post shortly after it went live, but eagle-eyed Swifties had already captured screenshots of the revealing weekend message.

The couple announced on Friday evening that they had officially tied the knot in New York
The rapid deletion only added fuel to the social media fire, with fans speculating that Newell accidentally broke an embargo placed on the elite guest list.
The online drama comes just hours after Kelce and Swift tied the knot during a heavily guarded Friday night ceremony at Madison Square Garden in front of 1,000 guests.
Bowers and Newell were among the exclusive group of NFL elites and A-list celebrities invited to celebrate the nuptials over the holiday weekend, which kicked off with a glitzy Thursday celebration strictly for family and close friends.
The specific use of the plural surname immediately convinced the singer’s fanbase that the 14-time Grammy winner has officially dropped ‘Swift’ to become Taylor Kelce.
The update from Newell comes just days after The Daily Mail revealed that insiders claimed the 36-year-old would in fact become Taylor Kelce.
‘Professionally, she’ll always be Taylor Swift,’ an insider told the Daily Mail. ‘The name has become one of the biggest brands in entertainment, and there’s really no reason to change that.’
‘Personally, it’s a different story,’ the insider continued. ‘Taylor is very traditional, and when it comes to marriage, she’d love to take Travis’ last name.’
The source confirmed that Swift is entirely ‘not interested in hyphenating or trying to combine their names.’

‘In her personal life, the idea of being Taylor Kelce is something she genuinely looks forward to,’ the insider added. ‘She sees it as a meaningful step, especially knowing it would also be the family name their future children would share.’
‘Both she and Travis think there’s something incredibly special and beautiful about sharing the same last name, even if the world will always know her professionally as Taylor Swift.’
A second source backed up the exclusive details, telling the Daily Mail: ‘She will take his last name when they wed, but for work she will still go by Taylor Swift. Jennifer Aniston did this when she married Brad Pitt.’
The Daily Mail has contacted Swift’s representatives for official comment.
