Taylor Swift, one of the world’s most recognizable figures, faced an unexpected reaction at Super Bowl LIX when boos erupted as she appeared on the stadium’s big screen.
Attending the game at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans to support her boyfriend, Chiefs’ tight end Travis Kelce, Swift looked surprised and turned to her friend Ice Spice, seemingly mouthing, “What is going on?”
Fans Theorize the Reason Behind the Boos
Social media quickly erupted with speculation. Many fans pointed to Eagles supporters, frustrated by Swift’s visible backing of the Kansas City Chiefs despite her past ties to Philadelphia.
“Eagles fans are booing her. She used to support them but now roots for the Chiefs,” one user noted.
Others, however, questioned why a pop star—who wasn’t even playing—was being booed at all.
“She’s just there watching the game. Why the hate?”
Some even joked that Swift’s presence wasn’t about to turn the night into a Hollywood-style drama.
“This isn’t High School Musical—she’s just cheering for Travis,” one fan wrote.

Meanwhile, President Donald Trump received a different response. Attending the game just weeks after taking office, he was greeted with cheers when shown on the big screen.
“I thought it would be a good thing for the country to have the president at the game,” Trump commented before kickoff.
A Super Bowl Full of Headlines
While the Eagles dominated the Chiefs 40-22, it was the off-field moments—Swift’s reaction, Trump’s appearance, and the stadium’s divided crowd—that kept fans buzzing long after the game ended.
