Taylor Swift<\/a><\/span>‘s escape from\u00a0New Orleans<\/a><\/span>\u00a0following the humiliation of the\u00a0Super Bowl<\/a><\/span>\u00a0has sent Swifties into a spiral.<\/p>\n

The pop star, who had to suffer through an onslaught of booing during the 40-22 demolition of her boyfriend\u00a0Travis Kelce<\/a><\/span>\u00a0and the\u00a0Kansas City Chiefs<\/a><\/span>\u00a0Sunday,\u00a0made a swift exit<\/a><\/span>\u00a0from the Big Easy Monday evening without her NFL beau in tow.<\/p>\n

The ‘Anti-Hero’ hitmaker pulled up to her parked private jet at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport on the Monday after the Big Game and was protected by a legion of people holding umbrellas as she boarded the plane so she couldn’t be spotted.<\/p>\n

However, her fanbase – as eagle-eyed as ever – somehow still managed to zone in on the one piece of her outfit that was visible: A pair of ruby red loafers.<\/p>\n

The footwear naturally sparked conspiracy theories among Swifties, and while most agreed that the shoes were a nod to the Ruby Red Slippers in the Wizard of Oz and therefore could be a potential\u00a0Easter<\/a><\/span>\u00a0Egg for her music, others went a bit more rogue.<\/p>\n

One\u00a0TikTok<\/a><\/span>\u00a0even triggered multiple suggestions that the misery of Super Bowl defeat spelled the end for the NFL’s power couple.<\/p>\n

‘It almost feels too spot on for everything that we have been talking about for the past couple of months and years with the Wizard of Oz and the stories that Taylor has been telling,’ the user said with a screengrab of a DailyMail.com article behind her.<\/p>\n

‘I feel that really ramped up towards the end of the Eras Tour where a lot of us were really expecting there to be some sort of closure or full circle moment that we didn’t get.<\/p>\n

‘So the fact that after the Super Bowl the last game of the season, we see Taylor leaving in her Ruby Red Slippers… the show is over. We’re waking up from the dream. It’s very much like the Wizard of Oz when Dorothy wakes up, realises it’s all a dream, clacks her heels and goes back home.<\/p>\n

‘I do feel like Taylor Swift ghosted after the Super Bowl and she’s going to lie low, we won’t see her for a couple of weeks. When she picks up and continue with the story, I’m very excited to see where it goes.’<\/p>\n

While it could be interpreted that Swift, who often uses her outfit choices to drop Easter Eggs for her upcoming masterpieces, could be signalling the end of her most recent era in anticipation of the next, other social media users in the comments went wild claiming she and Kelce had broken up.<\/p>\n

Some claimed the ‘Ruby Red Slippers’ could be a reference to Dorothy’s iconic line, ‘We’re not in Kansas anymore,’ from the cult film with Kansas being substituted for Kansas City in Swift’s case.<\/p>\n

Others suggested that it was a reflection of Dorothy’s return from Oz with there being, ‘no place like home,’ aka the glamor of New York and Los Angeles that the songstress is accustomed to.<\/p>\n

‘She woke up from her dream of love and is going home,’ one wrote in the comments.<\/p>\n
