Doctor Claims Taylor Swift Is Pregnant — Fans Push Back

Another day, another hyper-online rumor. Taylor Swift drops a new album, 'The Life of a Showgirl,' and suddenly a corner of the internet is convinced she might be pregnant. Here is where that started, why people are pushing back, and what Swift herself has actually said about wanting kids.

Where the rumor came from

The latest speculation kicked up after Swift appeared on 'The Graham Norton Show,' where some viewers thought her face looked a little rounder. Aesthetic physician Dr. Jennifer Armstrong posted a TikTok (also shared on her Instagram, where her handle includes RHOC) arguing that Swift and her fiance, Travis Kelce, could be expecting. Armstrong pointed to darker markings under Swift’s eyes, more sculpted cheeks, and the way Swift’s bangs cover her forehead and eyebrows, framing it as possibly intentional.

'Is this because you can’t get Botox because you’re pregnant?'

Armstrong also floated that Swift might be 'diffusely' filled with filler or sculptra, saying her face looked like 'one big round puff' compared to past definition, before adding that even if she is not pregnant, that was the first thought that came to mind.

And the immediate blowback

The comments lit up with people asking why we are speculating about pregnancy at all. One person wrote, 'Can we not speculate if a person is pregnant?' Another said, 'It makes me sad that a doctor would be speaking about another woman this way.' Someone else noted that the photo Armstrong used to make her case was from last year. Plenty of Swifties jumped in to defend her, with some pointing out that Swift’s mom has a naturally puffy face too, and many others reminding everyone that whether the Opalite singer is pregnant or not is nobody’s business.

What Swift has actually said about having kids

Swift has talked about the idea of a family for years, and yes, her own feelings have evolved. Quick refresher:

• 2010, to US Weekly (via Distractify): Kids were on her bucket list someday. She wanted to get to a place where she could do what her mom did. She also said that if she was 30 and still touring, she would not want to start a family because she could not balance it, adding that her future is unpredictable.
• 2012, to Marie Claire (via Capital FM): She envisioned 'a bunch' of kids, minimum four, and loved the idea of pouring everything you are into someone when you become a parent.
• 2014, to InStyle (via Billboard): She worried a famous parent’s kid would not have a normal life, with strangers pointing giant cameras at them from birth.

Where that leaves the current chatter

Fast-forward to now: Swift has not explicitly said she wants children with Travis Kelce, but fans are reading into the new music. On 'Wish List (Wi$h Li$t),' which many assume is about Kelce, she sings: 'I just want you / Have a couple kids / Got the whole block looking like you.' That is a clear picture of what she wants down the road, not necessarily right this minute.

Also making the rounds is a recent clip, widely shared by Buzzing Pop on October 3, 2025, where Swift gushes about her engagement ring from Kelce, calling out the gold hand engraving and saying she had shown him a video about it a year and a half earlier and he remembered. She said she immediately recognized who made the ring when she saw it.

The bottom line

This whole thing started because someone thought her face looked different on TV. That is a flimsy way to guess at something as personal as a pregnancy, and people were quick to say so. Swift has always sounded open to having kids someday, and her new lyrics make that point pretty plainly. But unless she says otherwise, that is all this is: speculation. If and when there is news, she will tell us herself.
