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”.
Taylor Swift sported a vintage Chiefs jacket, which she teamed with black denim shorts and a pair of knee-high boots.
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.”
