Taylor Swift was back in the stands at Arrowhead Stadium on Monday night to cheer on Travis Kelce in the NFL – and the tension seemed to get the better of him at one point 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 closing stages.
After showing a replay of Saunders’ run, the ESPN cameras cut to Swift in her VIP suite, where she could be seen screaming in frustration.
Fans on social media thought they could lip-read Swift as he screamed, “No, I want to kill myself.”
Saunders is the older brother of one of Swift’s backup dancers, Kameron, who has performed with the singer around the world on her hugely successful Eras Tour.

Fans think Taylor Swift shouted ‘I’m going to fucking kill myself’ during Chiefs vs Saints
Swift and Kelce took a photo after the game, which the Chiefs ultimately won 23-16 that night
But despite Swift’s nerves, the Chiefs held on and won 23-16 that night in Kansas City, extending their winning start to the season to 5-0.
After the match she was filmed by Chariah Gordon, the partner of Kelce’s Chiefs teammate Mecole Hardman, who described the win as ‘perfect’.
Monday’s game was Swift’s first Chiefs game in more than two weeks.
She skipped the last two road games against the Atlanta Falcons and Los Angeles Chargers.
Swift took a seat in Kelce’s suite next to her father Scott, some of Kelce’s friends and his father, Ed.
She was also absent from Kelce’s birthday this weekend. He celebrated his 35th birthday by hosting a ‘Car Jam’ in Kansas City, raising money for his ’87 and Running’ foundation.
Kelce has had a tough start to the season by his usual high standards, but recorded nine receptions for 70 yards in encouraging fashion.

The Chiefs now have a bye week before playing the San Francisco Giants in California on October 20 – a rematch of last season’s Super Bowl.
DailyMail.Com exclusively depicted Swift and Kelce flying out of Kansas City on Tuesday evening and heading to the East Coast.
The Chiefs star left his girlfriend waiting on the runway for about an hour because she arrived late for the private jet flight from Missouri.
