Taylor Swift's Five-Word Remark After Being Loudly Booed At The Super Bowl Revealed After Chiefs' Defeat
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."

Lifelong Mavericks fan Patrick Mahomes reacts to Luka Doncic trade: 'It hurts me'
Patrick Mahomes is among the many Dallas Mavericks fans left upset by the Luka Doncic trade. The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback admitted that the deal hurt him, noting that he had seen Doncic grow as one of the NBA's top stars ever since the team added him in the 2018 NBA Draft. "It's tough," Mahomes told reporters at Super Bowl LIX Opening Night. "You know, I've watched Luka since he was 18 years old. I remember going to a practice and it was Dirk [Nowitzki] and Luka, and seeing his maturation and how great of a basketball player he's become, it's been fun to watch. "As a Dallas fan, it hurts me." Mahomes, a Texas native who is also a lifelong Mavericks fan, expressed his initial confusion over the deal on social media when it was first reported late Saturday night. He wrote in a post on X "I'm sick rn….," seemingly speaking for many other Dallas fans who didn't like the trade. As Mahomes has made frequent courtside appearances at Mavericks games over the last few years, he mentioned that he's formed a bond with Doncic. Even though Doncic won't be playing for his favorite team anymore, Mahomes is rooting for him to have success with the Los Angeles Lakers. "I'm happy for him that he's going to be able to go out there and be in LA and get the chance to achieve his dream of winning a championship," Mahomes said. "He did so much, not only for the basketball team but for the city of Dallas, so I'll always be appreciative of those years." The trade between the Mavericks and Lakers, which also included the Utah Jazz taking on Jalen Hood-Schifino and second-round picks, was shocking for plenty of reasons. The Lakers' decision to send away Anthony Davis, who's in the midst of another All-NBA-caliber season, was surprising as the 31-year-old big man had helped them win a title five years ago and was thought to be a part of the organization's long-term plans. But, obviously, the biggest reason why the deal was a stunner was that Dallas opted to part with a 25-year-old perennial MVP candidate just eight months after he led them to the NBA Finals. Such a trade has very little precedent in recent sports memory, let alone NBA history. As the news broke late Saturday, many wondered on social media what the NFL equivalent of the Doncic trade would be. Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith tried to come up with one. "I'd probably say, like, Justin Jefferson getting traded," Smith said Monday night. In terms of on-field success, Jefferson is a strong comp to Doncic. The Minnesota Vikings wide receiver instantly became one of the best players at his position when he entered the league in 2020, setting all-time rookie receiving records. The 25-year-old won Offensive Player of the Year in 2022 and earned his second first-team All-Pro nod this past season as well. But even some of the best wide receivers have been traded. Doncic's value as a consensus top-five player is probably more similar to a franchise quarterback, who rarely ever gets moved, especially at 25. Mahomes might be the greatest example of how valuable a franchise quarterback is after he's had unprecedented success through his first seven years as a starter. The 29-year-old is seeking to win his fourth title and third straight championship when the Chiefs take on the Eagles in Super Bowl LIX (Sunday, 6:30 p.m. ET on FOX). There's an argument to be made that the Mavericks traded the NBA's Mahomes equivalent, which would obviously haunt Dallas for years to come if Doncic has that type of success in Los Angeles. But Mahomes added in another post on Sunday that he's looking forward to watching Davis play with Kyrie Irving. That sentiment remained at Opening Night. "I'm excited for the Mavericks moving forward and the guys that they brought in," Mahomes said. Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?
