Taylor Swift’s New Obsession Might Actually Be Good for You (and Your Heart)

Taylor Swift’s latest love isn’t a new outfit, a cat, or even another hit song — it’s sourdough bread. And surprisingly, her carb craze might just be doctor-approved.

The 35-year-old pop icon revealed on fiancé Travis Kelce’s New Heights podcast that, “Sourdough has taken over my life in a huge way. I’m really talking about bread 60% of the time.”
(Same, Taylor. Same.)

Sourdough, made from just flour, water, salt, and a starter, skips the artificial additives and yeast most breads rely on — making it a more natural (and, yes, trendier) loaf. Swift’s been experimenting with fun creations like lemon blueberry, cinnamon swirl, and funfetti sourdough — because as she says, “the girls love everything rainbow.”

Kelce’s pick? Classic sourdough, with blueberry as a close second. The bread has even made its way into her music videos — a true carb cameo moment in The Fate of Ophelia, where it sat elegantly on a “Parisian” table next to a peach and pearls.

But here’s the best part: Swift’s new hobby might actually help your health.

Studies show that sourdough made with certain lactic acid bacteria can boost levels of GABA, a compound that calms your nervous system and can support healthy blood pressure. It also acts as a prebiotic, feeding your good gut bacteria and reducing inflammation — all of which can help lower your risk of heart disease.

So yes, Taylor’s new obsession isn’t just delicious — it’s heart smart.

🍞 Moral of the story: Keep calm and carb on.
