Lip readers have disclosed their interpretations of Taylor Swift’s words as captured by NFL cameras, once again focusing on her during a recent game.
Since being associated with 34-year-old Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, she has consistently appeared in the audience at his games, much to the delight of some Swifties.
Nevertheless, Swift’s presence has not garnered unanimous approval, as some argue that it distracts from the essence of the game.
“I genuinely don’t want to see Taylor Swift during the game tomorrow. I don’t care if your kid starts asking football questions because they saw her,” expressed one user on X (formerly Twitter) before the game.

“Dear @NFL Media: Can you please stop forcing Taylor Swift on football fans! We understand she’s at the game and she’s a phenomenal artist! But if we wanted to see her this much, we’d go to her concert!! You showcase her more than the owner of the Chiefs! We love her, but damn!” added another.
“This game is so rigged, lol. I’m not even a fan of either team, but man, this is an embarrassment for the NFL. Can’t believe we’ll always remember the 2023 season as the Year Taylor Swift Ruined Football,” expressed a third irritated user.
Initially appearing tolerant of the attention, the ‘Love Story’ singer now seems to be fed up with the cameras as she attends games to support her boyfriend.
During yesterday’s AFC championship game on January 28, where the Kansas City Chiefs faced off against the Baltimore Ravens at the M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Swift appeared displeased when she was featured on the big screen.
In a clip from the game, the ‘Bad Blood’ singer can be seen uttering something while looking up at the screen, and social media users speculate that she said the words: “Go away, please.”
Upon witnessing the clip, fans once again took to social media to share their opinions on the purported reaction.
“You know what, she’s got my respect. I know she’s never been at fault for the constant coverage of her at these games as it’s been nauseating to no end,” wrote one user. “Really wish the networks would stop this as they only need to show her and other celebrities once.”
“She’s there as a fan and spectator, nothing more and less. Media coverage of her at these games has not helped as it’s unintentionally made her an enemy among passionate sports fans,” they added.
Others also suggested that she herself might be aware that the media is “overdoing it.”
As the online discussion continued, some also suggested that she might not have been focused on the camera. Instead, they proposed that she saw a Grammy banner and exclaimed, “Oh, the Grammys!”
