Turns out fans weren't the only people interested in hearing that Taylor Swift made homemade Pop-Tarts for her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, and his Kansas City Chiefs teammates.
The company that makes the classic packaged toaster pastry took notice, too, and now they want Swift's recipe.
The Pop-Tarts brand took out a full-page ad in The Kansas City Star's March 1 print edition, and also posted the same message on Instagram.
The Instagram post reads: "To KC's most famous fan, we heard there's a Pop-Tarts pastry (Your Version) and in its honor, we're donating to @harvesters, a local Feeding America partner food bank. But if you #releasetherecipe, we'll double our donation."
This isn't the first time that Pop-Tarts has tried to gain attention with a Swift reference. Shortly after she announced her forthcoming 11th studio album, "The Tortured Poets Department," Pop-Tarts posted a parody of the cover with the pastry prominently placed in the center.
The post even included a riff on the singer's poem, replacing her prose with lines about Pop-Tarts.
"And so I enter into the toaster -- My tasty coat of frosting -- My strawberry milkshake, my confetti cupcake -- And even my cookies and creme -- The click, click, click of toaster dials -- My irresistible filling of fruit. The Toasted Pastry Department."
And back in 2022, after Swift released "Midnights," the brand posted a parody of the album's cover with the caption, "FYI we're around if you need a midnight snack (aka emotional support Pop-Tarts)."
The cover also listed song titles that had been changed to reference Pop-Tarts, like "Strawberry Glaze," "Betoasted," "Anti-Hunger," and "Snackster-Mind."
Kellanova-owned snack maker Pop-Tarts has asked pop star Taylor Swift to release the recipe for the pastries she baked the Kansas City Chiefs. Swift, who is dating Super Bowl winner and Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce
Travis Kelce
Travis Michael Kelce (/ˈkɛlsi/ KEL-see; born October 5, 1989) is an American football tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs of the National Football League (NFL). He was selected by the Chiefs in the third round of the 2013 NFL draft and later won Super Bowls LIV, LVII, and LVIII with the team.
Now the brand wants her recipe. Pop-Tarts has got its eye on Taylor Swift's fruit-filled pastry recipe. After Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid revealed that the singer, 34, surprised the team with her homemade goodies during the season, Pop-Tarts is asking her to “release the recipe".
Swift showed off her baking skills by making the Chiefs offensive linemen “homemade Pop-Tarts,” head coach Andy Reid revealed at the NFL Combine. “She likes to cook, so she made the offensive linemen these homemade Pop-Tarts,” Reid said. “She didn't give me one, and the offensive linemen definitely didn't give me one.”
Toastettes: Nabisco (which is now owned by Kraft Foods) created their toaster pastry in 1967 called "Toastettes", to compete with Kellogg's Pop-Tarts. The brand was discontinued in 2002 after a failed marketing effort to tie Toastettes in with Nabisco's children's brands.
TikTok user Bethany (@bethany_pendleton13) took to the platform to share her surprise after realizing that Taylor Swift's adoring and loyal fanbase may have single-handedly caused the price drop of eggs by 13%. To make matters even more serendipitous, 13 happens to be Taylor's lucky number.
In her 2019 profile with Elle Magazine, Swift mentioned the one dish she always makes when she hosts dinner parties: Ina Garten's spaghetti and meatballs.
Pop-Tarts® is a toaster pastry made with sweet filling sealed inside two thin, rectangular pastry crust layers. Many of our toaster pastries are frosted for added deliciousness. Pop-Tarts® can be enjoyed right out of the box or heated up.
Pop-Tarts (stylized as pop•tarts) is an American brand of toaster pastries produced and distributed by Kellanova (formerly Kellogg's) since 1964, consisting of a sweet filling sealed inside two layers of thin, rectangular pastry crust.
For those of you who have never eaten Toastettes, they were similar to a Pop Tart but much better. They had a thinner, less doughy crust, lightly sprinkled with sugar, that turned a wonderful golden brown in just a couple of minutes in the toaster.
Did Post really come up with a toaster-prepared breakfast pastry first? Yes. In the 1960s, Post, then the biggest competitor to Kellogg's, invented a process of partly dehydrating food and wrapping it in foil to keep it fresh; no refrigeration required.

For longtime fans, this isn't a surprise: She told WebMD in 2010 that her comfort foods are a burger and fries, ice cream, and homemade cookies. The star also notably opted to wear a french fry costume during her music video shoot for her song, "You Need To Calm Down."
