Taylor Swift learned the hard way that Philly fans don’t play around!
On Sunday, during Super Bowl LIX, the global superstar was met with a chorus of boos at the Caesars Superdome as the Philadelphia Eagles took on the Kansas City Chiefs. And, yeah, it was pretty awkward.
The Booing Heard ‘Round the World
Videos circulating on social media show Swift looking pretty stunned by the crowd’s reaction.
But, hey, when you’re dating a player from the opposing team (Travis Kelce, in this case), you’ve got to expect some backlash, right?
The Eagles ended up defeating the Chiefs 40-22, and Swift’s boyfriend had a pretty quiet game with just four catches for 39 yards.
A Defender in the Midst of All the Drama
Luckily for Swift, she had a friend in her corner – the one and only Serena Williams!
The tennis legend took to social media to show her support, writing “I love you @taylorswift13 dont listen to those booo!!”
Williams even made a guest appearance at the halftime show, dancing alongside Kendrick Lamar.
Trump Chimes In with His Two Cents
But, of course, not everyone was feeling the love for Swift.
President Donald Trump, who attended the game, took a jab at the singer on social media, saying “The only one that had a tougher night than the Kansas City Chiefs was Taylor Swift. She got BOOED out of the Stadium.
MAGA is very unforgiving!” Ouch!
What’s Next for the Chiefs?
As for the Kansas City Chiefs, they’ll have to regroup and come back stronger next season.
And who knows, maybe Swift will be back in the stands, cheering them on (although, maybe not in Philly!). One thing’s for sure – this Super Bowl Sunday was one for the books!
