Former Fox News host was seated in the suite next to the pop star during Sunday’s game. Former Fox News host and Trump-backer Megyn Kelly has recalled her near-awkward, close encounter with politically-opposite Taylor Swift at the 2025 Super Bowl. Kelly, 54, was seated in the suite next to the pop star at Sunday’s game, which saw the Philadelphia Eagles destroy the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22. “I was trying to use the ladies’ room and something very funny happened,” she began. “I told you where I was in relation to Taylor Swift… well I walk out of the box — the suite — and there is the lady in the dress that signifies this is the women’s room.”.

She said she noticed a woman standing outside the door, so she “just assumed there was a line.”. “I’m like, ‘Oh, are you in line?’ And she’s like, ‘No,’” Kelly recalled. “So I’m like, ‘Oh, OK.’ So I go to get past her, and she’s like, ‘Oh no, I think someone’s in there.’”. She said there was “something unclear” about the woman’s response, so she “tried to go past her” again.

“And then I pressed down the doorknob and it started to open and I heard like, ‘Ahhh,’ and then she was like, ‘Oh no, no!’“ Kelly continued. “And then I realized Taylor Swift was clearly in there and this was like a privacy guard for her,” she added, laughing. “So I think I almost walked in on Taylor Swift in the bathroom.”. “[I’m] really glad that didn’t happen,” she said, sharing that she later figured out “it was just one of those one-stall bathrooms” and eventually found the communal women’s bathroom nearby.
While she didn’t meet Swift, Kelly did make several references to her in Instagram posts from the evening. “Taylor Swift next to us at the Super Bowl - should I go strike up a chat on Trump, Tim Walz and Blake Lively v Baldoni?” she wrote in one post, alongside a selfie showing Swift in the background. In a subsequent post of a selfie with Donald Trump and Donald Trump Jr., Kelly added: “Saw Taylor Swift in the next box … eh … and then I spent time with a true winner. Thank you Mr. President!”.
