Taylor Swift, the singer who is currently dating Travis Kelce, was booed as she appeared on stage at Caesars Superdome for the Super Bowl.
Super Bowl fans booed Taylor Swift as she appeared on the big screen during the game at New Orleans’ Ceasars Superdrome.
The Shake It Off songstress is attending the huge sporting event in America to support her NFL star boyfriend Travis Kelce, who plays for the Kansas City Chiefs. Travis’ team are facing the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2025 Super Bowl.
Eagles supporters at Caesars Superdome unleashed a torrent of boos upon Taylor Swift when her face flashed on the big screen during Sunday’s clash. Kelce, the Chiefs’ tight end, was gunning for his fourth Super Bowl ring and a third consecutive triumph, this time against Jalen Hurts’ Eagles squad.
NFL fans have been vocal about how much attention she has received from the league and broadcasters since she started dating Kelce before the previous season. In a nail-biting overtime victory over the 49ers, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell even addressed these reservations prior to the Super Bowl last year in Las Vegas, where Swift watched the Chiefs claim victory.
When Swift first popped up on the stadium’s screen in the opening quarter, the crowd’s jeers were loud and clear, leaving Swift visibly taken aback as she shot a nervous glance to a friend, Ice Spice, beside her. Taylor then exhaled and laughed at the awkward situation.
Last year, when quizzed about whether Swift’s romance with Kelce was a ploy for more NFL viewership, Goodell denied any such orchestration: “I don’t think I’m that good (of) a scripter or anybody on our staff,” he said. “There’s no way that I could have scripted that one”, reports the Mirror US.
Goodell also praised Swift’s entertainment prowess: “She’s a remarkable performer. She knows great entertainment. She is the best of the best, and my wife and I had the chance to see her perform at two of her shows. So, having her come to NFL games, (to) have her (be a) part of that is nothing but a positive light”.
Goodell said of Taylor Swift’s impact: “Having the Taylor Swift effect is also a positive. Taylor and Travis both appear very happy, and they both have great young personalities. She enjoys NFL football because she knows what she likes to do.
He lauded Swift’s contribution to the sport’s appeal: “I think it’s great to have her a part of it. Obviously, it creates a buzz, another group of young fans. Particularly young women”.
Goodell praised the star further: “Taylor is obviously a dynamo. We consider ourselves fortunate and welcome it because of everything she touches and the fact that there are people following.
