Taylor Swift was left stunned after being met with emphatic booing at the Caesars Superdome when she appeared on the jumbotron for the first time on Sunday night at the Super Bowl.
The singer was in New Orleans to cheer boyfriend Travis Kelce on in what could be the final game of his glittering NFL career for the Kansas City Chiefs. And if it is how he finishes, Kelce could well be bringing the curtain down with an emphatic loss.
Eagles birthday boy Cooper DeJean scored a pick six in the second quarter to give the Eagles a 17-0 lead over the Chiefs in Louisiana.
At the halftime interval when AJ Brown punished Mahomes after a second interception by scoring a third TD for a 24-0 lead. Jalen Hurts, the Eagles quarterback, got the first TD.
The appalling collapse for Kansas Chiefs comes after Swift and Kelce surprisingly went out for dinner on Friday night in New Orleans at a French restaurant with Patrick and Brittany Mahomes.
Even though there was no suggestion they broke any team rules, it was extremely surprising to see them out and about so close to the game. It doesn’t usually happen that near to a Super Bowl. And perhaps this is why.
With the stadium seemingly boasting more Philadelphia Eagles fans than members of Chiefs Kingdom, Swift did not get a nice reception when cameras zoomed in on her before the carnage unfolded.
The 35-year-old singer appeared to notice the booing, giving a mocking side-eye response as the noise mercilessly rang out around the packed stadium.
However, Serena Williams leapt to the defense of her friend, posting on X: ‘I love you @taylorswift13 dont listen to those booo!!’
