With her presence at NFL games sparking ongoing debate, the reaction drew attention both inside and outside the sports world.
Let’s break down the crowd’s reaction, Trump and Serena Williams’ responses, and Swift’s impact on the NFL.
Why was Taylor Swift booed at Super Bowl 2025?
Some fans booed Taylor Swift at the 2025 Super Bowl when the camera cut to her on the jumbotron. The pop star attended the game to support her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. As her face appeared on the screen, boos echoed throughout the stadium. Sitting with musician Ice Spice, Swift exchanged a glance and smiled while the camera lingered on her for seconds before shifting away.
Serena Williams posted on X, “I love you @taylorswift13 dont (don’t) listen to those boooo!!” in response to the moment. Williams was later seen joining Kendrick Lamar on stage during his halftime performance. Fans have previously booed Swift at NFL games while she supported Kelce, with opinions split over her presence.
Former U.S. President Donald Trump, who attended the Super Bowl, commented on the incident on his social media platform, Truth Social. He posted two videos: one showing the crowd cheering for him and another capturing fans booing Swift. Later, Trump wrote, “The only one that had a tougher night than the Kansas City Chiefs was Taylor Swift,” adding, “She got BOOED out of the Stadium.”
Speaking to CNBC, Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt said Swift’s presence helped increase the team’s fanbase by 30%, particularly among young female fans. He added that the Chiefs’ games set multiple viewership records. In a 2023 interview with Time Magazine, Swift said she had no control over how often the cameras showed her during games, stating, “I don’t know if I’m being shown 17 times or once” (via The Rolling Stone).
At last year’s Super Bowl, Swift had 54 seconds of screen time in a broadcast that lasted over four hours, according to the Associated Press.
