Taylor Swift returned to the Super Bowl on Sunday to support her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, and his Kansas City Chiefs as they faced off against the Philadelphia Eagles. However, unlike last year’s warm reception in Las Vegas, Swift experienced a decidedly different response from the largely pro-Eagles crowd, who booed her when she appeared on the video screens during a break in the first quarter. Sitting with rapper Ice Spice, Swift reacted with surprise and a side-eye as the crowd's hostility became evident.

This stark contrast in reception was noted by former President Trump, who commented on his platform, remarking that "The only one that had a tougher night than the Kansas City Chiefs was Taylor Swift. She got BOOED out of the Stadium," referring to her affiliation with the team and her past political endorsements, having supported Joe Biden in 2020 and Kamala Harris in 2024.

Swift and Kelce's relationship became publicly recognized early last season when Kelce invited her to join him at a game against the Bears after his initial unsuccessful attempt to deliver her a friendship bracelet at her concert. Their romance flourished amid the Chiefs' pursuit of their Super Bowl title last year, culminating in Swift being present during celebratory moments after key victories, including the conference championship against the Ravens.

During the memorable Super Bowl event last year, Swift made a splash as she arrived from her Eras Tour and was seen engaging in a beer-chugging competition and celebrating with various celebrities post-game, ultimately sealing a romantic kiss with Kelce amidst a shower of confetti.

In contrast, this year, there was no whirlwind journey for Swift. She arrived in New Orleans just in time to enjoy a double date with Kelce and Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes, alongside Mahomes' wife, Brittany, at a local restaurant. Reports also indicated she was seen dining with musicians Danielle and Alana Haim before the big game.

The anticipation for potential post-game celebrations shifted throughout the game, especially concerning the future of Kelce, who has remained coy about his playing status beyond this season. Some speculate he might retire, and he is preparing for life after football, evidenced by his burgeoning podcast with brother and retired Eagles player Jason Kelce.

Additionally, there was much speculation about whether Kelce might propose to Swift, with odds at 8/1 for a potential engagement contingent on a Chiefs victory. Notably, the Chiefs had an impressive record of 19-3 when Swift attended games, never witnessing them lose in the playoffs.
