Taylor Swift lip readers decode her message after Kansas City Chiefs win
Taylor Swift’s fans have decoded a message that she shared with fellow attendees after she watched her boyfriend Travis Kelce’s NFL team secure a win on Monday.
The pop star has been seen cheering on Kansas City Chiefs tight end Kelce and his teammates at a number of games, since they went public with their romance in September 2023. Earlier this year, Swift was on hand as the Chiefs won the Super Bowl.
For his part, Kelce has also been seen among the crowd at several stops on Swift’s record-breaking Eras Tour, which took her around the world for more than 18 months and saw her wrap the U.S. leg on November 3 in Indianapolis.
One day after she performed at her last U.S. Eras show, Swift was on hand to support Kelce as his team secured 30-24 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
In video footage shared on X, Swift was seen waving and blowing kisses to game attendees, who turned around to greet her in her private suite at Missouri’s Arrowhead Stadium.
At one point, Swift was seen dramatically mouthing a statement to fans as she walked in the VIP suite.
A Swift fan account suggested that the singer was expressing feeling the pressure, on behalf of her partner. Decoding her statement, a caption from the account read: “Taylor after the game, ‘Stressful!’”
At the Week 9 matchup, Swift was joined by her brother, Austin Swift, and her mother, Andrea Swift, who was photographed wearing a black jacket emblazoned with the words, “In my Chiefs Era”.

Kelce’s family members were also in attendance, including his mother, Donna Kelce, and his brother, Jason Kelce, who was accompanied by his wife, Kylie Kelce.
Brittany Mahomes, who is married to Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, was also seen in the VIP suite.
Kelce has supported Taylor Swift at her shows. A video of the athlete leaving his girlfriend’s second Indianapolis show, while being followed by a camera crew recently went viral, strengthening theories that the pop star is filming a documentary about her tour.
This isn’t the only clip of Kelce supporting his girlfriend that has gone viral. A video on TikTok showed the tight end smiling and dancing to “So High School” alongside Taylor Swift’s mom.
Meanwhile, Taylor Swift’s support of her partner last season brought a flood of media attention—much to the exasperation of some football fans.
“I’m just there to support Travis,” the singer told Time in late 2023. “I have no awareness of if I’m being shown too much and p****** off a few dads, Brads, and Chads.”
Addressing the cameras often panning her way, Swift said: “I don’t know how they know what suite I’m in. There’s a camera, like, a half-mile away, and you don’t know where it is, and you have no idea when [the] camera is putting you in the broadcast, so I don’t know if I’m being shown 17 times or once.”
“Football is awesome, it turns out,” Swift added. “I’ve been missing out my whole life.”
One of the top prospects in the 2027 boys’ high school basketball recruiting class recently trimmed his list of suitors, and the Kansas Jayhawks find themselves firmly in the mix.
KU is one of eight schools to make the cut for 2027 five-star small forward Demarcus Henry, according to On3 National Basketball Reporter Joe Tipton. His list of eight includes some of the best programs in the country: Kansas, Ohio State, Kentucky, North Carolina, BYU, Arkansas, UConn, and Louisville.
The 6-foot-7 Charlotte, North Carolina, native is one of the best players in the 2027 class. He’s currently ranked as the No. 5 player overall and the No. 1 player at his position, according to the most recent On3.com 2027 player rankings.
As a junior this past year at Compass Prep High School in Chandler, Arizona, Henry averaged 15.5 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 2.2 steals per game as he helped lead his team to a 25-3 record.
He followed that up with an impressive performance at the NBPA Top 100 camp this summer, leading all attendees in scoring (20.0 points per game) and rebounding (9.3 rebounds per game). He was also a member of the 2026 USA Men’s U18 National Team that earned a silver medal at the FIBA U18 AmeriCup earlier this summer in León, Mexico.
When speaking about his game, Henry mentions his versatility and how he’s developed over the past year.
“I’m just very versatile,” Henry told Rivals in a previous interview. “I can play one through four and just help my teammates and hit shots and play defense. I watch a lot of KD (Kevin Durant) and Paul George. How they score it, and how they could shoot off the dribble, shoot off the catch. I’ve gotten tougher and just more aggressive when I transferred AZ Compass and just being able to get downhill, I feel like that’s really developed for me.”
When asked about what he’s looking for in a potential home at the college level, Henry says he wants to be challenged and grow his game for the NBA.
“What I’m looking for in school is someone that just pushes me to be better,” Henry said. “Help me grow into the person I know I can be and someone who will help me reach my potential. I want to play for a coach that will hold me accountable and help me make me uncomfortable and keep growing and keep getting better and just help me reach the NBA, which is my ultimate goal.”
Early Contenders
Right now the early favorite to land Henry may be the basketball program with the least amount of notoriety of the final eight schools – and that is Ohio State.
Henry has a lot of familial ties to the university as his older brother Chris Henry Jr. is a five-star incoming freshman wide receiver for the Buckeyes football team this year, and his older sister Seini Henry is a talented women’s basketball player at Ohio State.
He’s already taken an unofficial visit to the school and has also taken an unofficial visit to BYU. Thus far, they are the only schools to have received a visit.

The Royals have been linked to shortstop Jacob Lombard out of Gulliver Prep (Fla.) — if he makes it that far — left-hander Gio Rojas out of Stoneman Douglas (Fla.) HS, outfielder Eric Booth Jr. out of Oak Grove (Fla.) HS, UC Santa Barbara right-hander Jackson Flora and Georgia Tech outfielder Drew Burress, among others. Maybe they shake up the board and go with Huntington Beach (Calif.) HS left-hander/outfielder Jacob Grindlinger, who is just 17 years old after reclassifying for this year’s Draft and has legitimate upside as a two-way player. Grindlinger is No. 16 on MLB Pipeline’s Top 250 Draft prospects list and is rising on boards as Draft day nears.
Prep players usually mean a lot of upside but with more risk, while college players bring a higher floor and more experience — often with a chance to move quickly. Over the full Draft, the Royals are going to value both.
“There’s a good mix of high school and college,” Bridges said. “To tell you the truth, our range is pretty broad. There’s a clear-cut four players, five players in this Draft, and then believe it or not, where we’re picking, you can go a number of different directions. So we have a pretty good balance of what we’re looking at, both high school and college.”
