Swift laughed away the booing, perhaps thinking to herself, “Why you gotta be so mean?” (Get it?!)
Serena Williams also came to her rescue, writing on X, “I love you @taylorswift13 dont listen to those booo!!”
Williams was later seen in the game dancing in Kendrick Lamar’s halftime show. The tennis icon was once rumored to be an ex-girlfriend of Drake, which, considering Lamar’s current feud with the rap star, would be seen as another diss.
Despite the boos, Swift has been good for NFL business. Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt recently spoke to CNBC about how she has lifted the league.
“Well, I think indirectly, the NFL has seen an impact,” he said. “Certainly, our fan base took a big leap forward last year — particularly with female, specifically young female fans. I think we had something like a 30% growth in our fan base, which is pretty significant even for a team that won the Super Bowl. So you have to definitely give Taylor a little bit of credit for that… We still get a lot of eyeballs — this year, we’ve had several games and broken records, and I think Taylor is a little bit a part of that.”
That said, Swift wasn’t much of a good luck charm for the Chiefs’ Super Bowl performance, as the team trailed the Philadelphia Eagles, scoreless for the whole first half.
Meanwhile Trump watched Sunday’s game from a suite after flying in with a group of some of his closest Republican allies in Congress, including Sens. Lindsey Graham and Tim Scott of South Carolina. House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., had said he’d also be in the suite with the president. Trump saluted when the national anthem was sung. Mahomes’ family stopped by to visit with him.
His interest in sports extends beyond football. Trump is an avid golfer who owns multiple golf courses and has hosted tournaments. He sponsored boxing matches at his former casinos in Atlantic City, New Jersey, and attended a UFC match at Madison Square Garden weeks after winning a second term.
