The Super Bowl is over, and this year the Kansas City Chiefs got a taste of the medicine they dished out in 2024 after falling 40-22 to the Philadelphia Eagles. And with every Super Bowl day, there were plenty of things besides the game itself that went viral. Kendrick Lamar’s halftime show stirred up many a reaction, but it was perhaps the contrasting figures of Donald Trump and Taylor Swift that took center stage.
Swift was in attendance to support her boyfriend Travis Kelce, who was sadly unable to help the Chiefs retain the championship. Meanwhile, Donald Trump made history Sunday as the first sitting president to attend the Super Bowl, and cameras around the stadium made sure not to miss it.
Cameras also zoomed in on Taylor Swift, which prompted many in the audience to boo her. Swift herself was even seen reacting to all the negativity… while Donald Trump wasted no time brandishing his claws. He decided to mock the superstar singer on social media, which probably shouldn’t come as a surprise considering their rocky history.
Donald Trump became the first sitting president ever to attend the Super Bowl when he walked into the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana, on Sunday to see the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles went on to claim the title, winning 40-22, but the talk of the town post-game wasn’t only about what occurred on the field.
President Trump had announced early at the weekend that he would be in attendance for the Super Bowl. In an interview with Fox, he also predicted the game’s outcome, predicting that the Kansas City Chiefs would win.
“I have to go with Kansas City,” Trump said, praising the Chiefs’ quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, and his wife, Brittany. “I’ve watched this great quarterback, who has, by the way, a phenomenal wife. She is a Trump fan; she’s a MAGA fan, so I happen to love her, okay. But she’s a great person.”
Mahomes and his wife didn’t have the best night of their lives (Kansas lost) but Trump decided not to focus on the game but rather on the new NFL kickoff rule. “The worst part of the Super Bowl, by far, was watching the Kickoff where, as the ball is sailing through the air, the entire field is frozen, stiff. College Football does not do it, and won’t! Whose idea was it to ruin the game?” he wrote.
Donald Trump & Taylor Swift in attendance at the Super Bowl
Donald Trump was named the 2024 TIME Person of the Year. Just last week, after Time Magazine put Elon Musk on their cover, appearing to be sitting in Trump’s chair at the Oval Office, Trump took a swing at the publication, claiming he didn’t even know they were still an active magazine.
And while the 2024 TIME Person of the Year was in attendance, the 2023 TIME Person of the Year was also there. Taylor Swift was at the Ceasars Superdome to support her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, who plays for the Kansas City Chiefs. She has regularly attended his games since the pair began dating, creating an even more significant buzz around the team.
However, Trump and Swift’s relationship is a whole different story. They have a very rocky relationship going back many years. At the beginning of her career, Swift stayed away from making any political comments, but in 2018 decided to endorse a Democratic candidate in the US Senate election in Tennessee.
At the time, the Anti Hero star was already one of the major stars in the music industry and show business worldwide. She took to Instagram to endorse Phil Bredesen for the Senate and Jim Cooper for the House of Representatives.
“In the past I’ve been reluctant to publicly voice my political opinions, but due to several events in my life and in the world in the past two years, I feel very differently about that now. I always have and always will cast my vote based on which candidate will protect and fight for the human rights I believe we all deserve in this country. I believe in the fight for LGBTQ rights, and that any form of discrimination based on se*ual orientation or gender is WRONG. I believe that the systemic racism we still see in this country towards people of color is terrifying, sickening and prevalent,” Swift wrote in 2018.
Donald Trump mock Taylor Swift after she was booed at the Super Bowl
When Swift later endorsed Kamala Harris, Trump wrote on TruthSocial, “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT! The list of times Trump has lashed out against Swift continues to grow. On Super Bowl Sunday, it happened again, and this time, Trump was particularly vicious.
When the president was shown on screen during the national anthem, the audience gave him a massive cheer. Meanwhile, when Taylor Swift’s face was shown, fans booed her, evoking a surprised reaction from the superstar.
It wasn’t long before Trump decided to take advantage of the situation. During the game, he posted a video of Swift getting booed by the crowd and, in a separate post, a video of him getting cheered. After the Super Bowl ended, he took to Truth Social, crediting his “Make America Great Again” followers for booing Taylor Swift. “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.
