Oh, it’s all the time enjoyable when viral moments collide, and after the 2025 Grammys and The Incredible 4: The First Steps trailer’s launch, that has occurred within the silliest approach. On the heels of the trailer premiere for the upcoming Marvel film, one fan reacted to it in essentially the most unserious and iconic approach by connecting The Factor to Taylor Swift – and sure, you learn the appropriately.
Alright, to elucidate all this, I want to interrupt down what occurred on the Grammys first. Over the weekend, Taylor Swift wore a pink minidress to music’s largest night time that featured a pink T on her thigh (as you may see beneath). Swifties have been fast to level out that this was doubtless a reference to her boyfriend Travis Kelce and her tune “Responsible as Sin,” which options the road “What if he’s written ‘mine’ on my higher thigh solely in my thoughts?”
This reference was good as a result of The Tortured Poets Division – the album “Responsible as Sin” is featured on – was nominated for a lot of Grammys and Kelce is about to play within the Tremendous Bowl, making the pink T very well timed. Nevertheless, after the discharge of The Incredible 4’s trailer, Ash Crossan took to X to joke about how possibly that T stands for another person:
Guys it was T for The Factor
I’m cackling over this! As we actually begin to anticipate the July 25 launch of The Incredible 4 on the 2025 film schedule I’ve been loving all of the jokes, memes and reactions to this primary have a look at these iconic characters, together with Ebon Moss-Bachrach’s The Factor. Nevertheless, I wasn’t anticipating an A+ Taylor Swift joke to emerge out of it!
However I’m so completely happy it did, particularly as a result of it additionally featured this foolish picture of The Factor licking his finger subsequent to a picture of the pop star’s now legendary T on her higher thigh:
Total, to cite X person @budice0, this joke is “rock stable.”
It’s “rock stable” for extra causes than one too. Not solely is it a fabulous callback to 2 very viral occasions that occurred inside days of one another, nevertheless it additionally provides to the lore that connects Taylor Swift to Marvel and Ebon Moss-Bachrach…stick to me right here.
To begin with, let’s break down the Moss-Ebon Moss-Bachrach and Swift connection. When Season 2 of The Bear got here out, followers have been in love with the truth that his character Richie blasted “Love Story” and sang on the high of his lungs. To this present day, the actor remains to be requested about it. So, understanding that makes this Incredible 4 joke even funnier.
Secondly, we heard rumor after rumor final yr that Taylor Swift may seem in Deadpool and Wolverine. Clearly, that didn’t occur, nevertheless, it put her in tons of on-line conversations concerning the MCU.
Now, this joke about her T standing for The Factor as an alternative of Travis Kelce is making all of the worlds collide, and I can’t cease laughing about it.
It’s so unserious to assume that “what if he’s written ‘mine’ on my higher thigh” implies The Factor, and that’s the sort of silliness I thrive on. So, maintain the Incredible 4 and Taylor Swift jokes coming, as a result of they’re – for lack of a greater time period – improbable.
