The Philadelphia Eagles shattered the Kansas City Chiefs’ hopes of making history on Sunday during Super Bowl LIX.
Star tight end Travis Kelce had an uneventful night, and his girlfriend, global pop sensation Taylor Swift, faced boos when she appeared on the stadium’s big screen.
Now, her heartfelt five-word reaction has been uncovered.
A Shift in Allegiance
Born in West Reading, Pennsylvania, Taylor Swift was once seen sporting a Philadelphia Eagles sweatshirt while walking through New York City. However, after she began dating Travis Kelce, her loyalty naturally shifted to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Since going public with Kelce, Swift has been a regular presence at Chiefs games, and she was in attendance on Sunday to cheer him on as the team aimed for an unprecedented achievement in the NFL.
The Chiefs had their sights set on becoming the first-ever Super Bowl champions to achieve a “three-peat,” but their ambitions were crushed by the Eagles in a dominant 40-22 victory at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.
A Harsh Reception
Travis Kelce struggled throughout the game, recording just 39 yards on four catches. By halftime, the Eagles had built a commanding 24-0 lead, and Kelce had yet to make a single reception. But the rough night wasn’t just limited to the Chiefs and their star tight end—Taylor Swift also found herself at the center of controversy.
The pro-Eagles crowd in New Orleans appeared to remember Swift’s past support for their team before her switch to backing the Chiefs. When her face was shown on the big screen, she was met with a chorus of boos. As cameras zoomed in, many on social media speculated about her response, with several media outlets reporting that she turned to those around her and sincerely asked:
“Aww what, what’s going on?”
Although many believe the negative reaction stemmed from Swift’s change in team allegiance, former U.S. President Donald Trump had a different take. He credited “MAGA” supporters for making a statement against her.
“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!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
However, Swift’s friend and tennis legend Serena Williams quickly came to her defense, posting on X: “I love you @taylorswift13 don’t listen to those boos!!”
Leading up to Super Bowl LIX, speculation swirled about the possibility of Travis Kelce proposing to Swift if the Chiefs secured a historic victory. However, following the game, Kelce was seen leaving the stadium alone, with no sign of Swift by his side.
