Taylor Swift's Body Language with Kelce at the Super Bowl by Body Language Expert Patti Wood
Meaning Behind the Kiss Between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce by Body Language Expert Patti Wood
There's A Deeper Meaning to Taylor Swift And Travis Kelce's Kiss Here is the full article I contributed to for Elite Daily
They made two back-to-back public appearances over the weekend, both of which involved them holding hands. Here they are on Saturday night at the SNL after-party
On Nov. 11, minutes after Taylor Swift wrapped up her second Buenos Aires show, she and Travis Kelce kissed in public for the first time. Since videos of the sweet moment went viral, Swift and Kelce’s makeout has been watched millions of times. And according to a body language expert, there’s a good reason for fans to be swooning over this kiss.
In the video, Swift ran to Kelce, putting her arms around him and going right into a steamy kiss. “There’s an immediacy of her finishing her performance and going to him. She could have stayed and savored her audience, but what she wanted to do immediately was be with him,” Patti Wood, expert body language analyst, tells Elite Daily. “It wasn’t that she was pretending to run. It was a genuine rush — urgency that went through her whole body.”
Swift also exhibited something Wood calls “up body language,” which is a sign of joy. Before the singer got to Kelce and kissed him, she put her arms up in preparation. “She’s a good eight feet away from him when her arms start to rise up [to hug him]. That kind of up body language usually happens at six feet away. Her doing it so early indicates that she has absolute certainty of a positive response from him.”
Wood, the author of Snap: Making the Most of First Impressions, Body Language, and Charisma, also notes how Swift jumped into Kelce’s arms. “It’s like how a little kid jumps into their parents’ arms. She is absolutely certain that he is going to catch her.”
Kelce, for his part, took the moment in stride. “When he lifts her, his arms are locked around her waist, so she feels secure. Then he swings her around, taking her full weight,” Wood says. According to her, his hold on Swift was “not possessive, but secure.” The moment was also very reminiscent of Swift’s lyrics from “Crazier,” which she released in 2009: “You lift my feet off the ground / You spin me around / You make me crazier, crazier.”
As they walked away together, Kelce kept his arm around her — and notably, his thumb was pointed upward. “It’s a sign that he’s feeling happy and joyful,” Wood says. Swift, meanwhile, kept her arm around Kelce’s shoulder, showing “a tiny bit of ownership,” Wood adds.
And the kiss wasn’t the only noteworthy body language of the Nov. 11 show. When Swift performed “Karma,” the last song of her set list, she gave Kelce a shoutout. The original lyrics go: “Karma is the guy on the screen, coming straight home to me.” But Swift changed them to: “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs, coming straight home to me.”
A fan video caught Kelce hearing the line change in real-time — and per Wood, he seemed totally OK with the attention. “What’s cute is he has his hands over his face, but it’s a joyful embarrassment,” Wood says. “Look at how lifted up his elbows are, they’re almost straight up. When you’re more embarrassed in an ashamed way, you keep your elbows down and tend to move your body backward.”
Kelce also kept bouncing and dancing after the moment, making it clear that he was having fun with Swift’s shoutout.
All in all, Swift and Kelce’s vibe had a “playful” energy to it. Their body language reflected spontaneous joy, something they’re “on the same page” about, Wood says.

Taylor Swift's Body Language with Travis Kelce's Mom by Body Language Expert Patti Wood

Behold: Body Language Expert Patti Wood's analysis of Taylor Swift and Donna's Body Language.
by HANNAH KERNS
“Meet the Parents” takes on a new level of intimidation when you’re being broadcast to millions of football fans. But Taylor Swift has been faring just fine under the pressure. Taylor has attended not one, but two Chiefs games alongside Travis Kelce’s mom, Donna Kelce — and according to a body language expert, the singer has made quite the impression.
On Oct. 12, Taylor and Donna sat together to watch Travis play against the Denver Broncos, looking like the best of friends. But only six days earlier, Donna discussed Taylor on the Today show — and when she described meeting her as “OK,” fans thought Donna was a little unenthusiastic about hanging with the pop star.
Watching the Oct. 6 interview, expert body language analyst Patti Wood doesn’t think there was any shade directed toward Taylor. “She had asked [Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager] not to talk to her about that,” Wood points out to Elite Daily. “Her irritation in the moment is due to the fact that she’s uncomfortable because they broke a boundary.”
TL;DR, there wasn’t any reason for Taylor and Donna to have tension at game No. 2, so their camaraderie on Oct. 12 makes total sense. Wood, author of Snap: Making the Most of First Impressions, Body Language, and Charisma, explains that their body language at the Chiefs vs. Broncos game indicated “true intimacy and happiness together.” Here’s how she can tell.
Taylor Whispered In Donna’s Ear
During the game, Taylor was photographed whispering to Donna — a move that Wood says indicates a certain level of closeness. “Taylor brings her face into the intimate zone of space and uses her hands to cover what she’s saying,” Wood says. (BTW, intimate zone of space is the technical term for close physical contact, about 16 inches.)
The fact that Taylor raised her hand to hide her mouth is also noteworthy. “That’s an exclusionary body language cue,” Wood explains. “It tells me, ‘What I’m saying is just between the two of us. It’s not for public view.’”
This combination of physical closeness and exclusionary signaling was an “indication of having an intimate and easygoing relationship that isn’t just for public view,” per Wood.
It’s a dynamic that Donna seemed to enjoy. “Her laugh is sincere. It’s not for the audience, crowd, or photographers,” Wood says. There are a few ways she can tell. “Donna has an open mouth smile, showing the back of her mouth, her teeth are showing, and her cheeks are extremely lifted up. That kind of ‘up’ body language tells me this photo is capturing a true laugh and true joy.”
Taylor Leaned In To Listen
As the game went on, Taylor and Donna were photographed talking to one another. At one point, Taylor leaned in to listen, so much so that their heads touched. “Both of them feel very comfortable,” Wood says. “Taylor is making the move to get in that close, and Donna is accepting of that. She still has that lifted facial expression, indicating genuine joy.”
In the photo, Taylor and Donna are displaying similar facial expressions, especially if you look at their mouth and eyes. Apparently, the fact that they shared the “same expression” was another good sign. “They’re in the moment together,” Wood says.
But Wood notes one surprising detail in this pic: how Taylor is holding her hands. “That odd way Taylor’s holding her hands tells me that she wants to put her hand on Donna’s shoulder, but she’s holding herself back from being too touchy-feely in front of the cameras.”
They Mirrored Each Other
Throughout the game, Taylor and Donna seemed to be on the same page. In this photo, for example, Wood points out that they are “matching and mirroring” each other. “The fact that they’re both touching their noses is probably because something funny or crude happened.”
It’s not just the one hand on the nose, either. “Both have their other hand up, too. And even their eye placement is very similar,” Wood says.
That level of matching and mirroring is another good sign; not only were Taylor and Donna in the moment together, but they were sharing almost identical reactions to the experience, hinting at “like-mindedness.”

Body Language of Taylor Swift Analyzed by Body Language Expert Patti Wood
Here is the LinktoTaylorSwiftBodyLanguagearticle in Elite Daily
Here is an Except for Elite Daily
Travis Kelce is headed to the Super Bowl, and Taylor Swift is celebrating her boyfriend’s success. On Jan. 29, the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Baltimore Ravens at the AFC Championship, meaning they’ll be at the NFL Championship on Feb. 11. Following the Chiefs’ 17-10 victory over the Ravens, Swift congratulated Kelce on the field, and their sweet post-game interaction is going viral.
According to body language expert Patti Wood, there’s a legitimate reason behind fans’ interest in the couple — and it’s not just because both Swift and Kelce are uber-successful hotties. Instead, she tells Elite Daily that the sincerity in the couple’s body language is what’s so appealing — and it’s something fans are picking up on, even subconsciously.
“When you're looking at them together, it makes you feel good,” Wood, who wrote Snap: Making the Most of First Impressions, Body Language, and Charisma, explains. “People are saying, ‘Why are we so fascinated by them?’ It's because it's real. You're feeling some of their emotional state.”
Tere’s a full breakdown of Swift and Kelce’s post-win body language. At the blue link above.

Sydney Sweeney's body language with her fiancé, Jonathan Davino and her co-star, Glen Powell
THERE are significant differences in how actress Sydney
Sweeney has been carrying herself in public recently, according to a body
language expert.
Sweeney stars in the new film Anyone But
You alongside Glen Powell and has been engaged to Jonathan Davino since early 2022.

Sweeney and Powell - who sparked rumors earlier this year while looking flirty on set - have been promoting the recently released film.
Davino has also joined for some of Sweeney's appearances,
including earlier this week in Sydney, Australia.
But there have been some stark contrasts in how Sweeney has
carried herself around the two.
Body language expert Patti Wood spoke exclusively to The
U.S. Sun to explain the differences in Sweeney's posture and positioning around
each of the men.
In photos of
Sweeney and Davino about to board a private jet following a red-carpet
appearance in Sydney, Wood noticed some friction.
"She's got
so much tension in her body," the expert said of Sweeney.
But Wood noted
that Sweeney's super high heels and the fact that she had to hold her dress up
affected how she carried herself.
Sweeney looked
over her shoulder at Davino in one snap, which Wood said was "not a
pleasant look."
“It is like
a little bubble beside her head would be saying 'Ew.’”
Wood said that could
have been because she had to climb stairs with an initial big step up to get on
the plane in those high heels.
“That's the only
time there’s a moment between them," she said.
"The only
moment that she is sharing with him is that 'What the heck am I supposed to
do?' And he cannot really help her.”

'DOESN'T REALLY WANT TO BE THERE'
But Sweeney was not alone in her seeming discomfort.
Wood said of Davino: “More than anything, it just feels
like he is awkward, more like a kid dressed for Sunday school and does not want
to be dressed up.
"That's the way his body language is - as if he
doesn’t really want to be there."
Wood called Davino's leg placement awkward, along with his
choice of shoes with his suit and how he is holding his arms.
"I’m getting this, 'I'm not where I want to be' kind
of vibe from him," she said.
In all the images of the couple, Wood could physically see
Sweeney's discomfort.
"She is holding the dress right at her 'private parts'
- so she is not showing that elegant-ness, ‘I’m super confident’ vibe,"
Wood said.
"Even though she's gorgeous in that dress, she doesn't
feel that.
"I’m getting the vibe that he's not helping her feel
that," Wood said of Davino.
“He's not giving her a reassuring touch; he’s not learning
toward her ... [with her look back at him] there’s sort of an expectation that
he should help her and he's not fulfilling that role."

'COMPLETELY DIFFERENT HER'
In a separate shot of Sweeney from the same evening, where she’s posing and confident, Wood picked up significant differences.
“This is a completely different her,” Wood said, comparing Sweeney with Davino to one particular press photo of the solo starlet.

Analysis of the Body Language in the Republican Presidential Nominee Debates. Ramaswamy, Desantis, Haley and Christie's Body Language, Debate
Key Moments and Nonverbal Analysis of the Republican Debates
Below are my rough notes in preparation for my TV interview
1: RAMASWAMY Attacking Haley about not being able to name PROVINCES
Vivek - “It is one thing
that Joe Biden and Nikki Haley have in common. Is that neither of them could
even state for you three provinces in eastern Ukraine that they want to send
our troops to fight for. Look at that. This is what I want people to
understand. She has no idea what the names of those provinces are but wants to
send our sons, daughters, and military equipment to go fight it.”
My read - Ramaswamy FINGER
WAGGING Pointing– He did throughout the debates as a symbolic weapon, which was
not even acceptable in debates until a few years ago, but here it's worse he is
attacking a woman, yelling, and pointing over and over. You can say oh it is a
speech but in domestic violence and my threat assessment work that is a red
flag warning that the man wants to physically hurt you.
It reminded me of the
Hilary Clinton Trump debate where he came across the stage and stalked up her
as she spoke. This is no small nonverbal behavior.
2: CHRISTIE
RAMASWAMY BLOWHARD (CHRISTIE ATTACKING RAMASWAMY)
Christie: “We see it on
video. We confront you on the debate stage. You say you did not say it and back
away. This is the fourth debate and you will be
voted in the first 20 minutes as the most obnoxious blowhard in
America so shut up for a little while. (cheers).”
My read - Christie – It is a
sword fight; you see Christie finger-pointing and wagging and Ramaswamy
pointing back. Christie's is Matching and Mirroring that level of violence.
Christie is relaxed resting his arm on the podium, in a nonverbal response that
says, “I have been fighting in the real world all my life buddy, you can’t
scare me.” Nonverbal Response
3: Video of Haley being
attacked HALEY ATTENTION FELLAS
DeSantis: “We know from
her history that Nikki will cave to those big donors when it counts”
//flash//Ramaswamy: “The only person more fascist than the Biden regime now is
Nikki Haley who thinks the government should identify every one of those
individuals with an ID. That is now freedom, that is fascism and she should
come nowhere near the levels of power let alone the white house.”
//flash//Haley: “I love all the attention fellas, thank you for that.”
My read - They Attacked
Haley for a good twelve minutes at the beginning of the debates. Their yelling,
angry faces, verbal insults, and the length of time were clear behavioral
indications. They think she is the one to beat. Notice she smiles, it is a
little bit tight, but her voice is warm and lilting beauty pageant way.
4: DESANTIS TRUMP AGE – “FATHER TIME IS UNDEFEATED”
(HAS LOTS OF YELLING)
a. (In 0:00) – (Shows Christie and DeSantis
yelling) “Someone that is almost 80 years old it does not mean that someone can
get elected. Ron! Ron!” //flash//” Father time is undefeated, and I do not know
how someone will score on a test, but I know this we have an opportunity to
nominate and elect someone for two terms.”
My read - DeSantis here and
throughout the debates is giving an overly extended raised forehead, eyes wide
look that is the poster face for deception. In my deception detection speeches,
I give the example of a little 2-year-old covered in cookie crumbs saying with
that face, “I didn’t still the cookies I didn’t do it!”

How to Improve Your Ability to Read People. How to Know if Someone is Safe Or Dangerous, Using Your Central Nervous System to Read Peopleorth Technique,
How can you improve your intuition?
Your central nervous
system is your human lie detector, your early warning system for potential
stress and danger. When you feel safe, when something feels right and true, and
when you are with a good honest person with integrity your central nervous system
is calm. It alerts if there is danger.
For example, your limbic system can read thousands of nonverbal cues in a
fraction of a second in fact when you meet someone.
- Receive the
visual image of a person's face in a hundredth of a second.
- Analyzes
details in a quarter of a second.
- Synthesize all
the information into a single whole.
- Recognizes this
face out of thousands, memory details second.
- Interprets
expression on the face…
- Forms feelings
toward the person
- Decides what to
do with the person.
- Adjust the body
to deal with them.
How can you tell if someone is honest, deceitful, or dangerous?
When you are in the presence of an honest person who has integrity your
body calms and unfolds, breathing deepens moving from high in the chest to the
belly.
When you are in danger your Limbic system will respond with the Freeze,
Flight, Fight, Fall/Faint, or Friend Response. Think of a squirrel in
the road in response to your car coming at them. When we are stressed,
doing something wrong or dangerous, or when we are in the presence of someone
who is out of integrity, lying, or doing something dangerous our limbic system
immediately gets the body ready. A first early warning perhaps hairs may rise
on your arms and legs, and your body will tense and tighten, your blood
pressure will rise, your heartbeat will increase, your cortisol levels may
rise, your breathing rate may increase, you may perspire and you may flush to
the surface of the skin or leave you pale as you freeze in place and or rushes
to your extremities so you can flight and flee... As your blood pressure
increasing the blood mu our blood pressure may rise your run-and-fight
breathing may increase, at any point, your mouth could go dry, you could have
trouble swallowing or yawning, you may perspire heave, start to heave, and or
fight-breathing may increase, your heart rate may increase anymore, you may
perspire, go dry mouth, have trouble swallowing, blink and you may feel nauseous,
YOUR GUT FEELS BAD. You may Freeze in place holding your body tense and tight,
Flight -you may pull back down or away, point or bounce your feet towards an
exit, Fight -tense up and form your hands into fists, feel faint, and or Friend
you may smile, tilt your head and lower and sweeten your voice to sound
unusually passive, even childlike or seductive or charming its accommodating
passivity.
You may give off Comfort Cues when you are with someone bad or in a dire
situation. For example, you may hug yourself, hold your hand touch your
face, adjust your clothing, hold on to the chair arms, or clutch an object
because. Touch stimulates the nerve endings in the
skin so it sends signals to the brain
to release calming endorphins. When we are stressed, the brain
wants to restore itself to “normal” condition. The brain will enlist the body
to provide comforting touch behaviors. In other words, the brain requires the
body to do something that will stimulate nerve endings to release calming
endorphins in the brain so that the brain can be soothed.
AGAIN, THIS IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TO HOW YOU FEEL IN THE PRESENCE OF A
True North person. In the presence of a True North good person or a good
situation, your body warms and relaxes, you feel safe, comfortable,
calm, and sometimes both calm and energized in their presence. With free open
relaxed body movements and gestures, you may even notice that your breathing
changes, moving from high on your chest to your belly, is easy full, and deep
with regular interval flowing breaths, and your voice changes, becoming warmer,
fuller, and richer. You feel you can be fully yourself, say and do anything.
Below is a very short video of me
talking about this and the technique to know if you are with a good person you
can trust.
http://youtu.be/QQw4PCi18i0
You feel good after you are with them. You can get a highly charged
feeling of euphoria when you meet the Right Person, which means you still feel
good after you are with them. Your body has not had to go overdrive, so you
feel good. When you are with an emotionally toxic person, your central nervous
system goes on in overdrive to protect you. It may push tons of adrenaline and
cortisol into your system while you are with them, giving you a high, but that
is your body in danger mode of Freeze, Flight Fight, Fall, or Friend response. It
is quite different from the pleasant limerence high of love, and one of those
differences can be monitored by how you feel AFTER you are with them and how
you feel when you are about to see them. Do you think overstimulated with
racing thoughts and worries about what you said and did or what they might say
or do, or are you pleasantly excited?
2) How can someone tell if a gut feeling is based on emotion versus
intuition? Why is this an important distinction? There is a difference between
stereotypes and intuition. Stereotypes are based on past experiences and
prejudice and are formed in the neocortex where word language is formed and is extremely
low in accuracy, and you can feel highly emotional about your stereotypes or
preconceptions. Intuition or your gut response should take place in the limbic
system where emotions and body language are processed and is based on thousands
of cues you're able to detect and process so quickly that you may not be able
to have words to describe how you know
3) How can believing you are lucky increase your chances of being lucky? How
does curiosity relate here and increase your chances for positive
opportunities? Pay conscious attention to what your body is saying to you. When
you are with new people, are in new situations, or making a decision do a
“Check In” scan of your body. What is your body language? Are you relaxed or
tense? Is your body open or closed? Write it all down. Record your gut
instincts. Then see if you were right. The more you notice, the more you can
improve. Research says that Judges are some of the best judges of deception
detection because they meet new people and have new situations, they have a gut
feeling they typically have notes on that feeling and then they see if they are
right and keep improving.
