Taylor Swift was in attendance at M&T Bank Stadium on Sunday to watch boyfriend Travis Kelce play against the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC title game. And CBS didn’t pass up the opportunity to use the 12-time Grammy winner’s presence as a vehicle to promote its own broadcast of The Grammys.
It certainly seemed like Swift took notice.
As Jim Nantz was reading off the promo for The Grammys, Swift was looking at the shot of herself within the Kelce suite. And at one point, she said something to the TV. Some lip readers seemed to think that Swift was telling the CBS broadcast to stop showing her.

Given the unwarranted complaints from Dads, Brads and Chads about Swift’s presence in NFL broadcasts, the “go away, please” response could have made sense. But others seemed to think that Swift was merely acknowledging The Grammys after wondering why she was on camera. “Oh, The Grammys,” she appeared to say.

That seems to be the more likely scenario.
Still, there was plenty of reaction to the camera shot from the first half.
