Taylor Swift says NFL star 'caused her stress' as Travis Kelce Christmas plans made
WATCH NOW: GB News sport round-up
Taylor Swift has revealed her true feelings about San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy during a visit to Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri.
The global superstar admitted to experiencing stress whilst watching Purdy nearly defeat her boyfriend Travis Kelce's team in last February's Super Bowl.
When asked about her song 'Paper Rings' and its connection to Purdy during the hospital visit, Swift responded: "I don't mind Brock Purdy.
"He put me through a lot last February. I was very stressed for a second."

The 35-year-old singer had jetted back from her Asian leg of The Eras Tour in Japan to watch the championship game in Las Vegas.
Purdy's performance nearly secured victory for the 49ers, completing 23 of 38 passes for 255 yards and a touchdown.
The quarterback's fourth-quarter touchdown pass to Jauan Jennings put San Francisco ahead by three points with 11:22 remaining.
The match remained intensely close as both teams traded field goals, forcing the game into overtime with the 49ers taking an early three-point lead.
However, Patrick Mahomes ultimately secured victory for the Chiefs when his 3-yard pass to Mecole Hardman clinched the championship.

Swift and Kelce celebrated the victory together on the field, sharing several kisses in what became a widely publicised moment.
The question about 'Paper Rings' during Swift's hospital visit highlighted an interesting timeline discrepancy.
The song, which appears on Swift's 'Lover' album, was actually released in 2019, well before any connection to the NFL quarterback existed.

At the time of the song's release, Purdy was still playing university football at Iowa State.
The track was written as a love song about wedding rings, rather than having any connection to American football championships.
Prior to the Super Bowl, Purdy had been asked if he was prepared to disappoint Taylor Swift, to which he responded with a smile: "Yes. I'll leave it at that."
Swift is set to return to Kansas City for the Christmas season to support Kelce as the NFL season reaches its climax.

"She will be going to Kansas City and staying there for some time during the next few weeks to be with Travis and show him love and support," a source revealed.
The insider added that Swift "wants to witness another potential championship season for the Chiefs."
The timing coincides with a crucial fixture for the Chiefs, who are preparing for a Christmas Day match against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The Chiefs, currently standing at 13-1, appear well-positioned for another deep playoff run, with Swift having no major concerts scheduled before next year's Super Bowl.
