The cameras cut to Taylor Swift as she watched from her seat, in turn prompting a very unexpected reaction from the audience
Super Bowl spectators were left in stitches after watching Taylor Swift’s funny – and praiseworthy – reaction to being booed when she traveled to Caesars Superdome in New Orleans to catch beau Travis Kelce in action.
Swift got tongues wagging as soon as she arrived, having rocked up wearing an all-white outfit that set off those engagement rumours all over again.
“@taylorswift13 wearing all white to the Super Bowl means that she is expecting a ring tonight or already has one,” one speculated on X.
She’s there to support Kelce as the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Philadelphia Eagles, possibly making it a ‘three-peat’ if they can come out triumphant for the third straight year.
As the singer watched from her seat, cameras cut to show her on the big screen with her name flashed underneath… as if she needed any introduction.
While fans tuning in at home will have no doubt let out an excited scream at the TV, the reaction from the crowd wasn’t quite so positive.
As Swift was shown on the jumbotron, it prompted a chorus of boos from the crowd.
Thankfully, she didn’t appear too upset, initially looking slightly perplexed before flashing a short smirk and throwing a side-eye.
After noticing the spectacular occurrence, one fan tweeted: “Taylor Swift seen on the jumbotron for the first time and HEAVILY booed. In return, she gave a slight sidelong glance.
An additional person said: “She dgaf.”
“Taylor’s face says it all!” a third person wrote.
Even tennis star Serena Williams got involved, tweeting: “I love you @taylorswift13 don’t listen to those booo!!”
Others couldn’t help but note the sharp difference to the reaction garnered by President Donald Trump – the first sitting president to attend the Super Bowl – with one saying: “Trump gets cheered by #SuperBowlLIX crowd and Taylor Swift is booed.”

Confirming he’d be there to witness the Chiefs and the Eagles fight against one another, Trump said he looked forward to joining supporters cheer on ‘two terrific teams’.
He added in a statement prior of the game: “The coaches, players, and team personnel on the field tonight represent the best of the best in professional football, but they also exemplify the finest of the American Dream.
“Their hard work, dedication, and tenacity is admirable, and their individual journeys are as inspiring as the drive and determination that has led them to this extraordinary moment.
“They also represent the hopes and dreams of our Nation’s young athletes as we restore safety and fairness in sports and equal opportunities among their teams.
“Football is America’s most popular sport – with good reason – it generates a sense of national togetherness, bringing families, friends, and fans together and uniting communities.
“This annual tradition transcends our differences and personifies our shared patriotic values of family, faith, and freedom heroically defended by our military service members, law enforcement officers, and first responders.
“We respect their passion to preserving our great Nation and salute their selfless service.”
