What did Taylor Swift say after being booed at Super Bowl? Lip reader’s verdict revealed

The Philadelphia Eagles took on the Kansas City Chiefs in 2025, which saw Taylor Swift supporting her now-fiancé, Travis Kelce

The Super Bowl is fast approaching, with this year's sporting event taking place on 8 February.

The iconic evening is one of the biggest in the entertainment and sporting calendar, with this year's championship game seeing the New England Patriots taking on the Seattle Seahawks.

Last year, the Philadelphia Eagles took on the Kansas City Chiefs, which saw Taylor Swift in attendance to support her now-fiancé, Travis Kelce.

However, at one point during the match, Taylor found herself the recipient of a chorus of boos.

The singer was so confused by the moment that she turned to Ice Spice, who was sitting next to her, to ask a five-word question.

At the time, a micro-expressions expert shared her thoughts, with the expert in question, Annie Särnblad, taking to Instagram to share her verdict on Taylor's response.

She explained: "We human beings widen our eye aperture when we are afraid or surprised. I'm going to let you decide which one she's feeling.

"So fear pulls back the upper eyelids hard and surprise tends to open them up a little bit softer.

"Fear is going to give a straight eyebrow that lifts up straight over the forehead, and surprise often gives you more of a curve on the eyebrow."

Urging viewers to pay attention to the 'vulnerability on her chin', she added: "And I feel like there's even just a little lift of the squeezing of the skin next to the nose and a deepening of the nasal labial furrow, which we see in disgust, or in this case, discomfort.

"We then see Taylor Swift smile. This happy expression is clearly on purpose. It is conscious, and she is smiling despite the booing, because, hey, her team and her man are at the Super Bowl, and so is she."

Lip reader, Jeremy Freeman, told Tyla that Taylor turned to Ice Spice, who is sitting next to her, to ask: "Wait...what is going on?" when the boos erupted in the stands.

Last year, Swift explained that she did not turn down this year's halftime Show.

Speaking to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in October, she shut down a rumour circulating that she was not performing due to a disagreement over the performance footage.

“No, no, no,” she said.

“Jay-Z has always been very good to me. Our teams are really close. Like, they sometimes will call and say, ‘How does she feel about the Super Bowl?’ And that's not like an official offer or, like, an official conference room conversation.

“We're always able to tell him the truth, which is that, like, I am in love with a guy who does that sport on that actual field.

“Like, that is violent chess. That is gladiators without swords. That is dangerous. The whole season I am locked in on what that man is doing on the field.

“Can you imagine if he's out there every single week, like putting his life on the line, doing this very dangerous, very high-pressure, high-intensity sport and I'm like, ‘I wonder what my choreo(graphy) should be?'

"'I think we should do two verses of ‘Shake It Off’ into ‘Blank Space’ into ‘Cruel Summer’ would be great.' And this is nothing to do with Travis, he would love for me to do it, I'm just too locked in.”
