Taylor Swift had some stern words for sportsman boyfriend Travis Kelce ahead of his trip to New Orleans for next weekend's Super Bowl.
Speaking on the field of the AFC Championship Game on Sunday evening (26 Jan), the 'Anti-Hero' hit-maker uttered five rather telling words to the Kansas City Chiefs star, who is scheduled to take on the Philadelphia Eagles at the prestigious final on 9 Feb.
Tay and Tray have a sweet history with the Super Bowl. At last year's game, the couple went viral after Taylor rocked up to the San Francisco 49ers game to support her beau, donning a hot red Chiefs' letterman jacket and a necklace bearing Travis' #89.

As well as downing a pint on camera, the musician also went viral at the time for planting a big sloppy kiss on Travis' face following his victory.
Back then, the pair were considered a relatively new couple, with reports first emerging of their romance the September prior - just weeks after Taylor split from long-term partner Joe Alwyn.
Naturally, fans can't wait to see the pair inevitably go viral once again during February's long awaited Super Bowl - which will take place at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana - following KCC's staggering defeat of the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.
According to several reports, however - including The Mirror - whilst celebrating his latest victory on the field, Taylor seemingly made a reference to a run-in with the law that Travis endured during one of his previous trips to the party hot-spot.
Speaking on the pitch, Travis reportedly told his girlfriend and his mother, Donna: "Take me back to my old New Orleans home. I owe New Orleans a little something."
It was then that Taylor, 35, reportedly quipped, 'Yeah, no going to Bourbon Street', in a damning five word warning.
In 2010, Travis was suspended from the Cincinnati Bearcats' football team for testing positive for marijuana use, just days before he was due to play the Florida Gators in New Orleans.
The evening prior - the 35-year-old later told press - he'd been 'listening to Lil' Wayne', and had 'wanted to smoke what he was smoking'.
In an interview with Vanity Fair in 2023, he recalled of the incident: "I'm just sitting there, dead in the water. I just wanted to get out of there. I was so embarrassed, I didn't want to look at anybody."
Travis confessed at the time that the suspension left him 'down in the dumps', adding that his former coach and close friend Butch Jones was amongst the few people there for him at the time.
"I didn’t really think much of myself," the KCC tight-end remembered.
"When I got hit with what I was going through, I found out how many people were in my corner."
And by the sounds of things, 'Cruel Summer' singer Taylor isn't keen to see history repeating itself.
