Gypsy Rose Blanchard has reportedly bought tickets for a Kansas City Chiefs game for her upcoming release from prison, in the hope of meeting Taylor Swift.
The 32-year-old pleaded guilty to the second-degree murder of her mother Clauddine ‘Dee Dee’ Blanchard in 2016, a case which garnered national attention.
Missouri’s Department of Corrections confirmed earlier this year that she will be released on December 28, after serving just seven years of a ten-year sentence.
Blanchard told TMZ that she and her husband Ryan have tickets for the Chiefs game, three days after her release from prison in hope that she runs into Swift.
Blanchard also told the outlet that she intends to buy tickets for Swift’s October 2024 tour stop in New Orleans if she fails to meet the star later next month.

She told TMZ that she refers to Swift as the ‘kick-ass chick’ who taught her the meaning of girl power.
The outlet also reported that Blanchard uses the commissary money her father sends her to buy every album released by the star.
Swift has been spotted frequently at Arrowhead Stadium as she cheered on her new beau Travis Kelce, who plays for the Chiefs as their tight end.
In June 2022, Blanchard married Ryan Scott Anderson of Saint Charles, Louisiana, while behind bars according to KPLC.
Blanchard was given a ten-year sentence for plotting to kill her mother, while her accomplice Nicholas Godejohn was given a life sentence.
Blanchard is being released after serving 85 percent of her sentence, as required by state law, and will be given credit for the time she spent in jail before her plea.
Godejohn was convicted of first-degree murder for stabbing Clauddine, with a judge earlier this year refusing to vacate the conviction.
He had been appealing to get a new trial on the grounds that he had ‘poor representation’ for his 2018 conviction.
Clauddine was found stabbed to death in her bed at her home in Springfield, Missouri, in June 2015.
She suffered from Munchausen by proxy syndrome, and convinced everyone that Blanchard was terminally ill.
As part of the scheme, she said the then-teenager had the mind of a seven-year-old who suffered from muscular dystrophy, leukemia and other ailments.

Blanchard shocked the world after she walked into her first court hearing without assistance.
All who knew her believed that she was wheelchair-bound, with her mother convincing health professionals of her ailments.
Clauddine moved to Springfield when Blanchard was a child, claiming they had fled from Hurricane Katrina.
The two lived in a home built by Habitat for Humanity, and Clauddine was a full-time caretaker for Blanchard, claiming the girl suffered from ailments including chromosomal defects, epilepsy, sleep apnea, leukemia, and severe asthma.
She even made her daughter shave her head so it appeared as though she lost her hair through chemotherapy.
Her ruse fooled even doctors, who doled out prescriptions and performed surgeries on Blanchard.
The mother also accepted financial donations and the two went on charity-funded trips to Disney World. She had barred her daughter from attending school after kindergarten.

Blanchard eventually met Nicholas Godejohn on ChristianDatingForFree.com and started an online relationship for two years.
When she opened up to her boyfriend about her mother’s behavior, they came up with a plot to murder Clauddine so they could be together.
Godejohn slipped into the house and allegedly stabbed Clauddine while Blanchard hid in the bathroom. The couple then took ‘several thousand dollars’ from a safe in the home and spent some time in Springfield following her death.
Surveillance footage at local businesses showed Gypsy wearing different disguises and walking on her own before they took a bus 565 miles to Wisconsin.
A shocking Facebook status from Clauddine and Gypsy’s shared account on June 14, 2015, read: ‘That B**** is dead’, which prompted alarmed neighbors to call police.
A second, more disturbing post, read: ‘I – SLASHED THAT **** AND RAPED HER SWEET INNOCENT DAUGHTER. ..HER SCREAM WAS SOOOO LOUD LOL.’
The Facebook posts were traced to Godejohn’s house in Big Bend, Wisconsin, and the two were arrested on June 16, 2015.
Blanchard – whose story is the subject of Hulu’s The Act – is currently serving a 10-year prison sentence after she admitted to planning her mother’s murder

Swift first rocked up at Arrowhead to watch Kelce take on the Chicago Bears on September 24 after it was confirmed that the pair were indeed dating.
She was then in attendance at MetLife Stadium for his game against the New York Jets on October 1, before returning to Arrowhead on two separate occasions last month.
However, the singer and songwriter is now set to head on her Eras Tour, which kicks off in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on Thursday.
Swift is therefore unlikely to be at another Chiefs game until she wraps up the Brazilian leg of her tour in Sao Paulo at the end of the month
