Simon Kinberg released a picture last year with himself next to X-Men: Apocalypse stars James McAvoy and Jean Grey Sophie Turner.

Also included was Taylor Swift, which struck the Internet in such a way that rumors began to spread about her having a cameo appearance in the upcoming film. Kinberg came out and denied these rumors, however Turner decided to mix things up even further.
The actress posted a picture of her with Tye Sheridan’s Cyclops in a record store. And in said picture Cyclops happens to be holding a record album by Dazzler, a X-Men character who secretly lives as a disco-themed pop star.

Turner accompanied the post with (“#FBF that time Cyclops and I went shopping at the mall and found our favorite singer’s album (pre 1989, of course)”), helping solidify the theory that Taylor Swift is indeed in the film.
Per Wikipedia:
Dazzler (Alison Blaire) is a fictional superheroine appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, usually associated with the X-Men. She first appeared in Uncanny X-Men #130 (February 1980).
A mutant with the ability to convert sound vibrations into light and energy beams, Dazzler was originally developed as a cross-promotional, multi-media creation between Casablanca Records and Marvel Comics until the tie-ins were dropped in 1980. The character was created by a committee of Marvel staff, principally writer/editor Tom DeFalco and illustrator John Romita, Jr.
Despite the fact that Dazzler was originally commissioned as a disco singer, the character shifted to other musical genres, including rock and adult contemporary. She starred in a self-titled solo series in the early 1980s which lasted forty-two issues, a Marvel Graphic Novel titled Dazzler: The Movie, a four-issue limited series co-starring The Beast titled Beauty and the Beast, and later joined the cast of the X-Men. She was briefly a member of the spin-off group Excalibur but has since re-joined the X-Men.
If she is it’ll most likely be kept secret until May 18, when the film is released to theaters.
