Taylor Swift attended Sunday's game at the Superdome in New Orleans to support her partner, Travis Kelce, and his team, the Kansas City Chiefs, as they faced off against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Unlike last year, when Swift was greeted with cheers at the Super Bowl, this time, she was met with loud booing when shown on the stadium's video boards during the first quarter.

Seated next to rapper Ice Spice, the pop singer appeared surprised, giving a slight side-eye and wrinkling her nose in response. Swift and Kelce have been a high-profile sports-and-entertainment power couple since last season when Kelce first invited her to watch him play.

Their relationship gained widespread attention, especially after Swift made a last-minute journey from Tokyo to Las Vegas for last year's Super Bowl, where she was seen celebrating the Chiefs' victory grandly.

This year, however, the atmosphere was different. The game ended with the Eagles securing a dominant 40-22 victory over the Chiefs. This loss and Swift's unexpected reception made headlines and had netizens talking. But their reactions were varied.

Some users agreed with the crowd's response, expressing fatigue over Swift's frequent presence in NFL coverage. One commenter wrote, "She was booed by everyone! It's about time!" Another added, "Its not even necessary personal, just tired of seeing her, gawd [sic]!"

Others viewed the reaction as part of a broader trend, with one person saying, "Love the culture shift people are getting really tired of celebrities 😂 [sic]." Another user bluntly stated, "She didn't win any grammys, the Chiefs lost the super bowl, and Taylor was booed. This is a great start to 2025 [sic]!!!"

However, many fans were confused by the booing and defended Swift. One user pointed out, "Strange, considering she sold out that stadium on her own three times over less than 5 months ago."

Another wrote, "She's laughing because she's worth more than everyone else in the stadium combined 😂." Others questioned why Swift was being targeted at all, with one fan stating, "I never understood why they boo her. She's just supporting her boyfriend."

Another added, "More misdirected anger, all she's doing is sitting there. if y'all don't want to see Taylor Swift in any football spaces, take it up with the nfl who's been milking her fame since the start of her relationship [sic]."

Even tennis legend Serena Williams, who performed at the Halftime Show with Kendrick Lamar, tweeted, "I love you @taylorswift13 dont listen to those booo [sic]!!"

Whether a sign of celebrity fatigue at sporting events or something else, the boos for Taylor Swift at the 2025 Super Bowl while she supported Kelce underscored the challenges of fame.
