Taylor Swift is a superstar, both in name and fame. However, she can be whoever she wants, from a heartbroken heroine to a vengeful anti-hero. By day, she is a devoted girlfriend, a ride-or-die friend, and a dream-weaver. By night, she is a sonic architect, shaking the Richter scale. But with the latest whirlwind of speculation about Swift stepping into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, there may even be more roles for her to conquer—one that demands an iron will and an even stronger suit.

Whether she truly suits up or ends up being just another name in the growing vault of Marvel’s what-if castings, one thing is certain: if Marvel comes calling, here are 5 reasons she absolutely needs to pick up the phone.

Taylor Swift circling the rumor mill of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is not a novel phenomenon. But considering the gossip circuit has gone active nearly a year later, thanks to MyTimeToShineHello on X, it brings the comic geeks back to square one. Last summer, the Marvel headquarters were buzzing before Deadpool & Wolverine—not just because of the comic course of action that awaited Marvel Studios after a period of lackluster releases, but also over the star-studded cameos which kept peeking. 

At the time, Swift’s potential cameo as Dazzler picked up momentum largely due to her friendship with Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, and director Shawn Levy. While Levy acknowledged the celebrity cameo rumors and clarified they were not to become the focus of the story, the ultimate denial of Swift’s appearance was met with worldwide skepticism and disappointment.

So, with the MCU fanning the flames again, Swift has the perfect chance to answer the comic prayers once and for all. 

Taylor Swift is a sonic force the world knows and bows to. In the last two years, barely a day has gone by without Swift updates when she was busy sprinkling her cosmic dust in the global footprints of her Eras Tour. While she was already breaking records left and right when the world was busy sewing the garlands to welcome her, Swift became an omnipresent force, especially after her Grammy-winning sweep ended with the surprise announcement of ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ and the Super Bowl crowned the Reds. 

All those highlights, however, took a backseat this year as the not-so-triumphant Grammy hours had no Eras Tour to fall back on. In fact, the Super Bowl LIX loss and her sudden dragging into Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni's dispute only deepened the wound. The 35-year-old has also been missing from the public radar and the chart frenzy? It is not like before.

If the rumors turn out to be true and she lands a role in the MCU, a change could do her good. Moreover, the record industry has had its fair share of Swift eras, so why not a cinematic one? Also, since it has been a while since fans saw her on the big screen, an MCU integration could be a turn for the better, away from the rat race of chart-toppers. 

Taylor Swift is the only pop icon who enables child-like fanaticism in her fandom, irrespective of their age, name, occupation, or social stature. This is why even pop powerhouses like Gracie Abrams, Sabrina Carpenter, and Suki Waterhouse, despite their standing in showbiz, cannot stop raving about the pop princess. One would like to believe Swift is ahead of the race in the music industry as the only self-made billionaire who has built her empire on threads of symphony.

Considering the leap Selena Gomez and Ariana Grande, however, have made with their Oscar-nominated flicks, warming up in a super suit at the Marvel Cinematic Universe could be the first step in building her ladder to surpass them on the cinematic front. If she is a non-believer in confinement and the first step is taken, the rest is bound to follow suit.

While this sums up how Swift could benefit from the Marvel role, the opportunity could be equally wholesome for the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

There are myriad reasons why Taylor Swift’s inclusion in the Marvel Cinematic Universe might be met with skepticism, but one compelling argument in favor of her participation is the substantial benefit her devoted fan base could bring to Marvel Studios. As a global pop phenomenon, Swift’s prestige is well-deserved, with a record-shattering tour that has broken box office records and a historic concert attendance that solidifies her Eras Tour as the most attended in history. 

Furthermore, her influence extends beyond the music realm, as evidenced by the significant surge in NFL viewership following her highly publicized romance with Travis Kelce. Given Marvel’s recent struggles with superhero fatigue, and its efforts to revitalize the franchise, Swift’s star power could be a valuable asset, complementing the Marvel legacy and attracting a broader audience.

In fact, what is more convincing is the MCU has just the slot in the hype with the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday.

Deadpool & Wolverine already had a Marvel Jesus to save the day. However, after Marvel Studios unveiled the cast of Avengers: Doomsday with several veteran characters from 20th Century Fox’s now-defunct X-Men universe and upcoming stars of The Fantastic Four: First Steps, the MCU rumors surrounding Swift give the MCU the perfect opportunity for a Sonic Jesus to side with their camp. 

It remains to be seen whether the pantheon of super gods up there takes notes, but should they do, Marvel Studios must ensure they have it in them to make use of her superpower because the impact would not go away that swiftly. After all, when Swift writes an era, it becomes history, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe surely needs to turn a page.
