Gypsy Rose Blanchard plans to meet Taylor Swift after her early release from prison for murdering her Munchausen-by-proxy mother
Gypsy Rose Blanchard has reportedly bought tickets to a Kansas City Chiefs game for her upcoming release from prison in hopes 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 that attracted national attention.
The Missouri Department of Corrections confirmed earlier this year that she will be released on December 28 after serving just seven years of a 10-year sentence.
Blanchard said TMZ that she and her husband Ryan have tickets to the Chiefs game three days after her release from jail in hopes of running into Swift.
Blanchard also told the outlet that she plans to purchase tickets for Swift’s October 2024 tour stop in New Orleans if she doesn’t meet the star later next month.
Gypsy Blanchard takes the stand during the trial of her ex-boyfriend Nicholas Godejohn on Thursday, November 15, 2018 in Springfield, Missouri.

She told TMZ that she called Swift the “kick-ass chick” who taught her the meaning of girl power.
The outlet also reported that Blanchard uses the commission money her father sends her to buy every album released by the star.
Swift was often spotted at Arrowhead Stadium cheering on her new boyfriend Travis Kelce, who plays for the Chiefs as their tight end.
In June 2022, Blanchard married Ryan Scott Anderson of Saint Charles, Louisiana, while he was behind bars, according to him KPLC.
Blanchard was given a 10-year prison sentence for planning to kill her mother, while her accomplice Nicholas Godejohn was given a life sentence.
Blanchard will be released after serving 85 percent of her sentence, as required by state law, and will receive credit for time spent in prison before her plea.
Godejohn was convicted of first-degree murder for stabbing Clauddine, with a judge refusing to vacate the conviction earlier this year.
He had appealed for a new trial because 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 unassisted.
Everyone who knew her believed she was wheelchair-bound, while her mother convinced health professionals of her ailments.
Clauddine moved to Springfield when Blanchard was a child and claimed they fled Hurricane Katrina.
The two lived in a house built by Habitat for Humanity, and Clauddine was a full-time caregiver for Blanchard, claiming the girl suffered from conditions including chromosomal defects, epilepsy, sleep apnea, leukemia and severe asthma.
She even had her daughter shave her head to make it look like she was losing her hair from chemotherapy.
Her ruse even fooled doctors, who handed 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 denied her daughter access to school after kindergarten.
Clauddine, who suffered from Munchausen by proxy syndrome, had led everyone to believe that her daughter was a terminally ill teenager with the mind of a seven-year-old.
Blanchard eventually met Nicholas Godejohn on ChristianDatingForFree.com and began a two-year online relationship.
When she told her boyfriend about her mother’s behavior, they hatched a plot to kill Clauddine so they could be together.
Godejohn slipped into the house and allegedly stabbed Clauddine while Blanchard hid in the bathroom. The couple then removed “several thousand dollars” from a safe in the house and spent some time in Springfield after her death.
Surveillance footage at local businesses showed Gypsies wearing various disguises and walking alone before taking a bus 600 miles to Wisconsin.
A shocking Facebook status from Clauddine and Gypsy’s shared account on June 14, 2015 read: ‘That B**** is dead’, prompting alarmed neighbors to call the police.
A second, more disturbing post read: ‘I cut that **** and raped her sweet, innocent daughter. ..HER SCREAM WAS SOOO LOUD LOL.”
The Facebook messages were traced to Godejohn’s home 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 admitting to plotting her mother’s murder

Swift first came to 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 at MetLife Stadium for its game against the New York Jets on October 1 before returning to Arrowhead twice last month.
However, the singer and songwriter is now heading out on her Eras Tour, which kicks off on Thursday in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
It’s therefore unlikely that Swift will be at a Chiefs game again until she completes the Brazilian leg of her tour in Sao Paulo at the end of this month.
