Taylor Swift was back in the stands at Arrowhead Stadium on Monday night to cheer Travis Kelce on in the NFL – and the tension appeared to get the better of her at one stage in the game.
In the third quarter, New Orleans Saints defensive tackle Khalen Saunders intercepted Patrick Mahomes in the end zone for a 37-yard return as his team turned up the pressure on the Chiefs in the latter stages.
After showing a replay of Saunders’ run, the ESPN cameras cut to Swift in her VIP suite where she could be seen yelling out in frustration.
Fans across social media thought they could lip read Swift screaming: ‘No, I want to f***ing kill myself.’ The clip went viral across social media with viewers all reading the apparent comment the same way.
Saunders is the older brother of one of Swift’s backup dancers, Kameron, who has performed with the singer around the world across her hugely successful Eras Tour.
Taylor Swift literally said “I’m going to f****** kill myself” at one point while watching the game last night. And, as a sports fan, if that isn’t just the most relatable reaction to a game. She gets it you guys https://t.co/vpY3iyqRlJ pic.twitter.com/tHsnMVI74N

But despite Swift’s nerves, the Chiefs held firm and went on to win 23-16 on the night in Kansas City, extending their winning start to the season to 5-0.
After the game, she was filmed by Chariah Gordon, the partner of Kelce’s Chiefs teammate Mecole Hardman, describing the victory as ‘perfect’.
Monday’s game was Swift’s first Chiefs game in over two weeks.
She skipped the last two road games against Atlanta Falcons and Los Angeles Chargers.
Swift took a seat in Kelce’s suite alongside her father Scott, several of Kelce’s friends and his father, Ed.
She was also absent for Kelce’s birthday celebrations at the weekend. He celebrated his 35th birthday by hosting a ‘Car Jam’ in Kansas City, raising funds for his ’87 and Running’ foundation.
Kelce has endured a tricky start to the season by his usual high standards but recorded nine receptions for 70 yards in an encouraging display.
