In Super Bowl 2025, the Philadelphia Eagles dominated the Kansas City Chiefs with a 40-22 victory. This game not only marked a missed opportunity for the Chiefs to secure their third consecutive Super Bowl title, but it also became a difficult day for Travis Kelce, the Chiefs’ star tight end. Alongside the disappointment of the game’s outcome, Kelce witnessed a particularly awkward moment when his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, was booed by the crowd during the event.
Taylor Swift Booed by the Crowd
During the Super Bowl, when Taylor Swift appeared on the big screen, the crowd responded with boos. This reaction clearly confused the singer, who was seen turning to her friend Ice Spice and asking, “What is going on?” Despite the uncomfortable situation, Swift managed to keep her cool, offering the camera a composed side glance. However, the boos clearly left her feeling uneasy, as it was evident from her expression that the moment caught her off guard.
One fan expressed their disappointment over the situation on Twitter, saying, “Booing Taylor Swift as if she’s playing on the field against ‘your’ team, even though she’s just sitting there looking pretty, is loser behavior.”
Travis Kelce’s Emotional Reaction
Those close to Travis Kelce revealed that he was deeply affected by the crowd’s response to Taylor Swift. A source shared, “Travis was aware of the boos directed at Taylor and felt helpless. Seeing her discomfort on the big screen was hard for him.” Kelce, who is known for being protective of Swift, felt pained by the situation. “He always wants to shield her from negativity, and it pained him to witness this,” the source added.
The atmosphere was already tense for Kelce, given the Eagles’ strong performance in the stadium, and this public incident involving Swift only added to the emotional strain. The source noted that many fans believed Eagles supporters might have seen Swift as a “turncoat” because of her Pennsylvania roots and previous support for the Eagles before starting her relationship with Kelce.
Former President Trump’s Remarks Add Fuel to the Fire
As if the situation wasn’t already complicated enough, former President Donald Trump weighed in on the Super Bowl atmosphere. On his platform, Truth Social, Trump posted, “Trump gets massive cheers at the Super Bowl while Taylor Swift gets booed. The world is healing!” His comment sparked further tension, given the context of the evening.
Kelce, who had previously expressed his respect for the presence of any presidential figure at the event, was reportedly displeased by Trump’s remarks. According to the source, Kelce found Trump’s comments unnecessary and felt they added to an already challenging night. “Travis thinks it was unnecessary for Trump to make such comments, especially after he expressed his respect for having a presidential figure at the game,” the insider explained.
