The Philadelphia Eagles crushed the Kansas City Chiefs’ dreams of making history on Sunday in Super Bowl LIX.
Superstar Travis Kelce had a quiet night – and his girlfriend, pop icon Taylor Swift, was booed when she appeared on the big screen.
Now, her sincere five-word reaction has been revealed.
Shifted allegiance
Taylor Swift was born in West Reading, Pennsylvania, and a few years ago, she was spotted wearing a Philadelphia Eagles sweatshirt while strolling through New York City. However, she naturally shifted allegiance to the Kansas City Chiefs when she started dating superstar Travis Kelce.
Since the couple went public, Swift has attended numerous Chiefs games, and she was there on Sunday to support her boyfriend as the Chiefs aimed to make NFL history.
The Chiefs had hopes of becoming the NFL’s first-ever “three-peat” Super Bowl champions, but they were humiliated by the Eagles in a 40-22 blowout at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.
Harsh backlash
Travis Kelce had a quiet game, managing just 39 yards on four catches. At halftime, the Eagles led 24-0, and Kelce had yet to make a single reception. As if that wasn’t bad enough for the Chiefs and Kelce, Taylor Swift found herself in the middle of a harsh backlash as well.
The pro-Eagles crowd in New Orleans didn’t seem to have forgotten Swift’s past support for the Eagles before switching to the Chiefs. When the superstar singer appeared on the big screen, fans greeted her with loud boos. As cameras zoomed in on her, many on social media speculated that she gave those around her a five-word, sincere response:
’Aww what, what’s going on,’” she said, according to several media outlets.
Although many believe the boos stemmed from Swift’s shift in team loyalty, Donald Trump had a different take, praising “MAGA” supporters for making a stance 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.
Howeer, her friend Serena Williams quickly came to her defense, sharing on X: “I love you @taylorswift13 don’t listen to those booo!!”
Heading into Super Bowl LIX, speculation swirled about the possibility of Travis Kelce proposing to Swift in case of a historical win for the Chiefs. However, after the game, Kelce was seen leaving the arena alone, with Swift nowhere in sight.
