Taylor Swift is used to crowds losing their minds when they see her-but at the 2025 Super Bowl, things took an unexpected turn.
The pop superstar was briefly shown on the Jumbotron at Caesars Superdome, where she was watching the game in a luxury suite with friends. But instead of the usual cheers, a wave of boos erupted from the stands, mainly from Philadelphia Eagles fans. Swift, looking momentarily confused, turned to Ice Spice and seemed to mouth, “What’s going on?”
While Swift has faced her share of football-related backlash (some fans aren’t thrilled about how often she’s shown on TV), this reaction was different. Eagles fans weren’t just annoyed-they were making it loud and clear that they weren’t happy to see her. Maybe it’s because Swift grew up near Philly and once supported the Eagles, but has since become the Chiefs’ most famous fan thanks to her relationship with Travis Kelce. Whatever the reason, the crowd wasn’t feeling it.
But Swift didn’t have to fend off the negativity alone. Enter Serena Williams. The tennis icon, a longtime Swiftie alongside her daughter Olympia, took to X (formerly Twitter) to send her support. “I love you @taylorswift13,” she wrote. “Don’t listen to those booo!!”
Taylor Swift’s Super Bowl moment takes a sour turn
It was a short and sweet reminder that even when an entire stadium seems to turn against you, having the right people in your corner makes all the difference. Williams, who knows a thing or two about dealing with pressure on the world’s biggest stages, wasn’t about to let the moment slide.
Swift, for her part, brushed off the drama like a pro. Dressed in a sleek white blazer, thigh-high boots, and her signature red lip, she kept her focus on the game and her boyfriend, Kelce, as he fought for another championship.
Super Bowl appearances have become routine for Swift at this point, but they always seem to come with a side of controversy. Whether it’s debates over how much screen time she gets or fans picking apart her every move, her presence in the NFL world is never low-key. But with friends like Serena Williams reminding her to ignore the noise, it’s clear she’s not losing any sleep over the haters.
After all, when you have millions of fans, a Grammy-winning career, and the GOAT of tennis hyping you up, a few boos probably don’t hit that hard.
