Taylor Swift was met with emphatic booing at the Caesars Superdome when she appeared on the jumbotron for the first time on Sunday night at the Super Bowl. The singer was in New Orleans to cheer boyfriend Travis Kelce on in what could be the final game of his glittering NFL career. But with the stadium seemingly boasting more Philadelphia Eagles fans than members of Chiefs Kingdom, Swift did not get a nice reception when cameras zoomed in on her.
The 35-year-old appeared to notice the booing, giving a mocking side-eye response as the booing rang out around the packed stadium. Swift once claimed she was an Eagles fan - telling her fans at an Eras Tour show in Philadelphia that lyrics in her song Gold Rush were about her fandom of the NFL team. But since meeting Kelce, she has been all about the Chiefs. ��Taylor Swift BOOED at Super Bowl LIX pic.twitter.com/wQhyx4P45J.
Taylor Swift was booed when she appeared on the jumbotron at the Super Bowl. In the early days of her relationship with Kelce, Swift was asked in an interview with TIME magazine about NFL fans disliking her attendance at game. I'm just there to support Travis,' she said. 'I have no awareness of if I'm being shown too much and pissing off a few dads, Brads, and Chads.'. Ironically, Swift's father Scott is known as a big Eagles fan - or at least he was until Swift started dating Kelce.
Since then, he has often joined her for games at Arrowhead Stadium and has been seen on multiple occasions wearing Chiefs merch at games in Kansas City. He was wearing a Chiefs sweater for the game in New Orleans, too. The game on Sunday night has split the Kelce family, as well. Travis's brother Jason said he is cheering on the Eagles, against his younger sibling, as he played his own 13-year NFL career for the Philadelphia team.
