Super Bowl viewers were left in stitches after spotting Taylor Swift's hilarious - and commendable - reaction to being booed as she took to Caesars Superdome in New Orleans to catch boyfriend Travis Kelce in action.
Swift got tongues wagging as soon as she arrived, having rocked up wearing an all-white outfit that set off those engagement rumours all over again.
"@taylorswift13 wearing all white to the Super Bowl means that she is expecting a ring tonight or already has one," one speculated on X.

She's there to support Kelce as the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Philadelphia Eagles, hopefully making it a 'three-peat' if they can come out victorious for the third consecutive year.
As the singer watched from her seat, cameras cut to show her on the big screen with her name displayed underneath... as if she needed any introduction.
While fans tuning in at home will have no doubt let out an excited scream at the TV, the reaction from the crowd wasn't quite so positive.
As Swift was shown on the jumbotron, it prompted a chorus of boos from the crowd.
Thankfully, she didn't seem too bothered, initially looking slightly confused before flashing a quick smirk and giving a side-eye.
After spotting the incredible moment, one fan tweeted: "Taylor Swift shown on the jumbotron for the first time and HEAVILY booed. She gave a little side eye in response."
Someone else said: "She dgaf."
A third wrote: "Taylor's face says it all!"
Even tennis champion Serena Williams got involved, tweeting: "I love you @taylorswift13 don't listen to those booo!!"
Others couldn't help but note the stark contrast to the reaction received by President Donald Trump - the first sitting president to attend the Super Bowl - with one saying: "Trump gets cheered by #SuperBowlLIX crowd and Taylor Swift is booed."
Confirming he'd be there to watch the Chiefs and the Eagles go against one another, Trump said he looked forward to joining fans cheer on 'two great teams'.
He said in a statement ahead of the game: "The coaches, players, and team staff on the field tonight represent the best of the best in professional football, but they also embody the best of the American Dream.
“Their hard work, dedication, and tenacity is admirable, and their individual journeys are as inspiring as the drive and determination that has led them to this extraordinary moment.
“They also represent the hopes and dreams of our Nation’s young athletes as we restore safety and fairness in sports and equal opportunities among their teams.
"Football is America’s most popular sport - for good reason - it fosters a sense of national unity, bringing families, friends, and fans together and strengthening communities.
“This annual tradition transcends our differences and personifies our shared patriotic values of family, faith, and freedom heroically defended by our military service members, law enforcement officers, and first responders.
“We value their devotion to protecting our great Nation and salute their selfless service."
