Taylor Swift Booed at Super Bowl 2025 – Here’s How She Reacted

Taylor Swift may be used to sold-out stadiums and roaring cheers, but at Super Bowl 2025, the pop superstar faced an unexpected reception—a wave of boos from the crowd at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on February 9.

Swift, who was there to support her boyfriend Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs as they battled the Philadelphia Eagles, found herself in an awkward moment when she appeared on the jumbotron.

The Super Bowl cameras panned across a star-studded audience, featuring Adam Sandler and Paul Rudd, who were both met with enthusiastic cheers. However, when the screen cut to Taylor Swift, the response was noticeably different. Loud boos filled the stadium, a reaction that was hard to ignore.

Seated next to her close friend Ice Spice, Swift shot a quick glance at the rapper before laughing off the negative reception. The two appeared to shrug it off, showing that they weren’t letting the moment affect their game-day experience.

Serena Williams Defends Taylor Swift

Following the incident, tennis icon Serena Williams—a well-known Swiftie—took to X (formerly Twitter) to show her support.

“I love you @taylorswift13,” Williams wrote. “Don’t listen to those booo!!”

Swift’s appearance at the Super Bowl had been highly anticipated, as she flew in directly from Tokyo after wrapping up the latest leg of her Eras Tour. Despite the boos, she remained focused on the game, cheering on Kelce and the Chiefs alongside a group of close friends, including her brother Austin Swift, the band HAIM, and longtime friend Ashley Avignone.

Why Was Taylor Swift Booed?

While Swift is one of the biggest stars in the world, her connection to the Kansas City Chiefs has been a topic of controversy among NFL fans. Some believe the media overhypes her presence at games, while others see her as a good luck charm for the Chiefs, as the team has performed exceptionally well during the season with her in attendance.

Meanwhile, Philadelphia Eagles fans—many of whom were in the crowd—have long been known for their passionate, and sometimes ruthless, sports culture. With Travis Kelce playing for their rival team, some Eagles supporters may have taken the opportunity to express their frustration.

Other Celebrities Show Their Team Loyalty

Taylor wasn’t the only celebrity making headlines at the Super Bowl. Actor Bradley Cooper, a die-hard Eagles fan, played a major role in hyping up the team, delivering a passionate pre-game introduction.

“From the city of brotherly love, your 2024 NFC Champions—The E-A-G-L-E-S!” Cooper shouted as the team arrived on the field.

Meanwhile, Miles Teller, who had supported the Chiefs at the Super Bowl in 2024, made it clear that this year, he was all-in for the Eagles.

“Thankfully, when I was at the Chiefs’ last Super Bowl, they weren’t playing the Eagles,” Teller told People in an interview. “This time, I’m going to be in a sea of green. That’s where I’ll be.”
