Fans Express Concern for Taylor Swift After Latest Sighting: ‘I Hope Girlie Is Okay’

Eagle-eyed Taylor Swift fans are currently on the lookout for signs from the pop star regarding her next album release, analyzing her outfits for Easter eggs.

Her latest look, a gold number she sported while out to dinner with boyfriend Travis Kelce on Oct. 12, caused some to speculate that a black Roberto Cavalli purse with snake detailing was a hint for Reputation (Taylor's Version), but others instead zeroed in on another detail.

Swift, who was wearing a sleeveless velvet dress while out in New York City with Kelce, appeared to have a burn mark on her right forearm.

“the burn is insane i hope girlie okay,” wrote one fan on X, prompting another to ask “what happened to this girl?”

Some speculated as to the cause of the injury, writing “classic oven burn ?? oh my taychef,” referencing the singer’s penchant for baking. “That's either a cookie sheet, oven rack, or a curling iron…” guessed another fan.

A commenter backed up the guess, writing “If you use your oven, you probably have a scar like that at almost that exact place ?? I know I do,” with someone else sharing that it’s a common injury in their family. “My aunties, my mother and myself have that burn from reaching into the oven and touching the bottom side of the wall ??.”

More fans said the same, writing “I have the exact same burn on the same arm haha,” “Ooh looks like the oven rack got her. Damn that must hurt ??,” and “That’s an oven rack if I ever saw one. My gram always got them.”

Others went the romantic route, writing “I imagine Travis applying burn cream on it and then when it’s dry, kissing it ??,” with one person imagining that “She’s cooking up a storm so Travis can go back to KC with treats for all the boys ??.”

“maybe she was baking her first chai cookies this season,” guessed a fan, with another also thinking along the same lines, writing “It’s her chai cookies ??.” Swift famously shared her recipe for chai cookies on her Tumblr, prompting fans to make the recipe for themselves.
