Taylor Swift has seen a notable drop in her Instagram followers following her appearance at Super Bowl LIX. The pop icon, who attended the event to support her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, faced unexpected backlash, leading to a reported loss of over 144,200 Instagram followers. The sudden decline has fueled debates among fans and critics, with speculation ranging from her political stance to general public opinion. Here are more details.
Taylor Swift lost over 100K followers on Instagram
Reports indicate that Taylor Swift’s Instagram followers have decreased after she was met with boos at Super Bowl LIX. She attended the game to cheer on Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce, but instead of a warm welcome, she faced a mixed reception. According to data from Social Blade, Swift lost over 144,200 Instagram followers in the aftermath of the event. This decline has sparked discussions about why the backlash occurred.
Some critics believe Swift’s political views played a role in the negative reaction. Alexis Winters, a member of the New York Young Republican Club, suggested the decline in followers shows frustration among fans. Winters said, “We are tired of celebrities calling down to us from their ivory towers, giving their two cents on policies that will never impact them.” (via Marca)
Though Swift saw a decline in her Instagram following, Kelce saw an increase. Reports suggest that he gained over 12K Instagram followers after the Super Bowl. This contrast has frustrated some fans, who argue that Swift is facing unfair treatment. Jenna Piwowarczyk, a leader of the “Swifties for Trump” movement said, “When Travis made an appearance on the Eras Tour, Swifties were excited to see him and cheered him on. When Taylor was shown on the Jumbotron, she was booed.” She further condemned the hate and negative comments against the pop star.
