Taylor Swift was surprisingly booed during the 2025 Super Bowl, and a lip reader has revealed how she responded.
The singer was said to have been surprised that she received the reaction and showed so with a facial gesture and some words.
The game, which Taylor Swift attended to support her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, ended in a loss for his team, the Kansas City Chiefs.
Over the weekend, the Kansas City Chiefs faced off against the Philadelphia Eagles in a historic attempt to secure a three-peat Super Bowl victory.
Many celebrities attended the event, including Taylor Swift, who was there to support her boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
However, just before her boyfriend's team went on to suffer a crushing 22-40 defeat, a large portion of the crowd made it clear they weren't excited to see the pop star, hitting her with a barrage of boos when she appeared on the jumbotron for the first time.
The star seemed to take notice of the booing and did not only respond with a mocking side-eye glance but also mumbled some words.
Now, according to lip reader, NJ Hickling, Swift said, "Aww what, what's going on?" seemingly shocked that she was being booed by the crowd, per the Daily Mail.
According to a body expert, Swift also showed support for her boyfriend in her own way as the scoreline between his team and the Philadelphia Eagles expanded during the game.
"Taylor Swift began in signature sweetheart mode….she looked as excited and busy as usual in the VIP section, chatting and whispering with one hand over her mouth like a teenage fan," body language expert Judi James told the news outlet.
She added, "[But] with her boyfriend's team losing badly by halftime and Travis standing dejected below her…..she gazed out at her lover unsmiling with her hands splayed and gripping the rail in a gesture of grim support."
The body expert also touched on Swift's response to the intense jeers she received, saying she was a "good sport" through it all.
James added about the pop star's reaction: "She held her pose bravely, but her eyes rolled to one side and then the other in a gesture of disbelief."
Prior to the big game, it was revealed that Swift was worried that her presence could overshadow Kelce and his team due to her relationship with the tight end and her A-list status.
"Taylor doesn't want to be the center of attention," a source told The Sun. "She just wants to support Travis and help him focus on the game."
They added, "She wants Travis to enjoy his Super Bowl week experience and be at 110% for Sunday, as she is dreaming about him making Super Bowl history and reaching another dream of his, winning another Super Bowl and making a three-peat."
During the lead-up to the game, many fans speculated whether Kelce would seize the opportunity to propose to Swift.
Kelce had even teased about the possibility of popping the question to the 14-time Grammy Award winner during Super Bowl LIX Opening Night last Monday.
Adding to the speculation, the couple was spotted enjoying a Friday dinner date in New Orleans.
However, it became very unlikely that a proposal would take place, especially as Kelce appeared deeply devastated as the possibility of him and his team achieving a historic three-peat vanished into thin air during the game.
With Kelce's team ultimately losing, Swift, whom there was no immediate sign of after the game ended, probably spent the rest of the night consoling her boyfriend.
A proposal would have still been unlikely in an alternate world where Kelcle's team emerged victorious at the Super Bowl.
While many might think Kelce wouldn't want the proposal to overshadow the victory, it seems more tied to the couple's preference for a "private" proposal.
"Travis going to have to go above and beyond, but it won't be a public spectacle," a source told the Daily Mail.
"When the time comes, people will know about it. But they are going to keep some things private and will have elaborate plans in place to ensure secrecy."
The insider also claimed that the couple are well aware that "the whole world is so thirsty for them to be engaged" and have found all of the engagement rumors to be "extremely humorous."
Meanwhile, the lovebirds are reportedly not "worried about those close to them leaking" information when they make those plans because "people who know them respect this."
