Taylor Swift shows 'grim support' for Travis Kelce

Body Language expert Judi James said that Taylor Swift showed "grim support" for her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, at the Super Bowl 2025, as per the Daily Mail.

Swift attended the game donning an all-white ensemble to cheer on her beau, the star tight end for the Chiefs, as his team took on the Eagles.

The pop star proudly supported Kelce throughout the evening despite a rocky start, which saw the Eagles lead the scoreboard immediately, resulting in boos from the crowd, according to the outlet.

When the Chiefs went into halftime with zero points, Swift's body language also seemed to change.

James told Daily Mail, "Taylor Swift began in signature sweetheart mode, dressed in sparkly shorts and a white vest, 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."

She continued, "The mood music changed dramatically though. With her boyfriend's team losing badly by halftime and Travis standing dejected below her, wincing as he wiped his hand over his forehead in a gesture of bewilderment, Taylor looked more like a haunting presence."

The body language expert added, "Standing in a solitary pose on the balcony now, she gazed out at her lover unsmiling with her hands splayed and gripping the rail in a gesture of grim support."

About Swift facing intense jeers from Eagles fans during the game, James said that the 'Lover' singer kept her composure and was a "good sport" through it all, per the outlet.

"She held her pose bravely but her eyes rolled to one side and then the other in a gesture of disbelief," she noted.
