NFL fans who went on social media during the San Francisco 49ers matchup with the Los Angeles Rams on "Thursday Night Football" were in for a surprise when they found out who had been talking about 49ers star quarterback Brock Purdy.

A video emerged on TikTok of Taylor Swift engaging with a young Kansas City Chiefs fan named Tinley, who was a patient at Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City. Swift made a surprise visit to the hospital on Thursday, the day before her 35th birthday.

Based on her strong response when Purdy's name came up in the conversation with Tinley, she had some unresolved feelings left over from his matchup with her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, in Super Bowl LVIII.

Swift attended the Super Bowl at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas in February. She got to celebrate with Kelce after Kansas City beat San Fransisco 25-22, but she admitted that Purdy had her "stressed" that the game was not going to end well for her boyfriend.

"Brock Purdy?" Swift said with surprise when the young fan brought up the 49ers QB. "I mean I don't mind Brock Purdy, but—"

"He put me through a lot last February," Swift admitted. "I was very stressed for a second."

The full video was posted by Tinley's mom, a nurse. A different quote from their conversation involving Travis Kelce, which appears at the end of this video, had already gone viral earlier in the day.

"I like Travis now," Tinley said, drawing a sweet response from Kelce's girlfriend.

"Yes, me too!" Swift responded. "That's an absolute yes on that one."

Swift's hospital visit was her first public appearance since she wrapped up her record-breaking Eras Tour on Sunday night in Vancouver. 

Her presence in Kansas City seemed to suggest that she was spending time with Kelce for her birthday. Although their exact plans are unknown, Kelce is reportedly preparing to make the occasion "extra special." 

The Chiefs play on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns in Kelce's hometown. No word has emerged yet on whether or not Swift will attend the game. So far this season, she has not been to a road game away from GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.
