New Orleans, LA – Taylor Swift faced an unexpected reaction from the crowd at Super Bowl 2025, as fans booed when she appeared on the jumbotron at Caesars Superdome.
However, the pop superstar took it in stride, showing a moment of confusion before playfully reacting to her friends, Ice Spice and Ashley Avignone.
Swift, 35, was at the game supporting her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, as his Kansas City Chiefs suffered a 40-22 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. It was a tough night for Kelce, playing in his fifth Super Bowl in six years, and the reaction to Swift only added to the evening’s challenges.
Travis Kelce ‘Helpless’ as Taylor Faces Crowd Reaction
According to reports, Kelce was aware of the boos and felt powerless to intervene. A source told the Daily Mail:
“Travis was aware of Taylor getting booed, and he felt helpless. Seeing the look on her face got to him. He always protects her, and it broke his heart.”
Swift, who has roots in Philadelphia, has previously shown her support for the Eagles football team. Her song Gold Rush references the Eagles, and she has worn the team’s gear in the past. However, the largely Eagles-fan-filled stadium still reacted negatively to her presence.
Donald Trump Mocks Taylor Swift
Adding to the drama, President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to mock Swift, writing:
“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!”
Interestingly, Kelce had defended Trump’s attendance at the Super Bowl, calling it an “honor” to play in front of the sitting U.S. president.
Serena Williams and Fans Rally Behind Swift
Despite the negative crowd reaction, Swift received strong support from fans and celebrities, including Serena Williams, who tweeted:
“I love you @taylorswift13 don’t listen to those booo!!”
While the night may not have gone as planned for Swift and Kelce, the music icon handled the moment with her signature poise and grace.
