A lip reader has revealed what Taylor Swift said as the singer was booed by fans in New Orleans during Sunday's Super Bowl between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs.
It was a night to forget for Swift and her boyfriend Travis Kelce, who failed to collect his fourth Super Bowl ring with the Chiefs' as they suffered a 40-22 defeat against Howie Roseman's side.
Jalen Hurts, meanwhile, was deservedly named Super Bowl MVP as he finished 17 of 22 for 221 yards, throwing two touchdown passes, as well as rushing for 72 yards and a score.
Away from the action and 22-time Grammy winner Kendrick Lamar became the first solo rapper to headline the Super Bowl halftime show as a host of celebrities watched on, including Taylor Swift.

As well as cheering on her boyfriend Travis Kelce, the American singer-songwriter was visibly surprised after thousands of fans jeered her cameo on the jumbotron.
After footage of the incident emerged, as seen above, lip reader NJ Hickling told the Mail that Swift said "aww what, what's going on" as jeers echoed around the Caesars Superdome, New Orleans.
Here's how fans on social media reacted to the scene.
One said: "Taylor Swift looks uncomfortable as fans appear to boo her when she is shown on the big screen at Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans," while another commented: "Taylor Swift Boo’d. Loudly. She’s not used to that lol."
A third wrote: "As much as Taylor seemed to not care, imagine going to a football game to support your boyfriend and the entire stadium starts booing you?? She’s still a person with feelings and this makes me so sad, no one deserves to be treated like this."
A fourth said: "Funniest thing to happen tonight was Taylor Swift getting booed," and a fifth added: "New reaction vid just dropped."
Kelce was reportedly left 'devastated' when he heard the boos aimed at Swift, according to the Mail, who gave an insight into his reaction.
"Travis was aware of Taylor getting booed and he felt helpless," a source said.
"Seeing the look on her face got to him. He always protects her and it broke his heart. He was already having a tough night and the fact that the stadium was predominantly Eagles fans didn't help. Travis knows that this hurt her and anyone can see this."
President Trump also chipped in with his take on Swift being booed.
