Taylor Swift Booed at Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans
Taylor Swift had an unexpected moment at Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans, where the reception was far from welcoming.
Not only did her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, and the Kansas City Chiefs leave the game without a victory, but Swift herself faced loud boos when she appeared on the big screen.
Swift’s Reaction to the Crowd
Despite being one of the most beloved music icons with a massive global fanbase, Swift wasn’t spared from a less-than-friendly reception at the Super Bowl.
Attending the game at Caesars Superdome to support Kelce, Swift was simply enjoying the matchup when cameras caught her on screen. However, rather than cheers, the crowd erupted in boos.
Seemingly caught off guard, Swift turned to her friend, rapper Ice Spice, and was seen mouthing, “What is going on?” Her reaction suggested genuine surprise at the unexpected negativity.
A possible explanation? Swift, originally from Pennsylvania, has publicly supported the Philadelphia Eagles in the past. She was even spotted wearing an Eagles sweatshirt in New York City years ago. But since dating Kelce, she has aligned herself with the Chiefs—a shift some Eagles fans in the stadium may not have appreciated.
Donald Trump Chimes In
The moment didn’t escape the attention of former President Donald Trump, who took to Truth Social to comment.
“The only one who had a tougher night than the Kansas City Chiefs was Taylor Swift. She got BOOED out of the stadium. MAGA is very unforgiving!” he wrote.
Meanwhile, Trump himself received a notably warm welcome from the crowd, with many fans showing excitement at his presence.
The Twitter account End Wokeness also highlighted the contrast, tweeting: “Taylor Swift got mercilessly booed. Trump got a hero’s welcome. Total culture shift.”
Elon Musk’s Take
Elon Musk, a frequent critic of Swift and a vocal Trump supporter, weighed in with a short but sharp comment: “Vibe shift is real.”
This isn’t the first time Musk has taken jabs at Swift. After she publicly endorsed Kamala Harris, Musk previously joked, “Fine Taylor… you win… I will give you a child and guard your cats with my life,” referencing Swift’s lighthearted “childless cat lady” remark.
While Swift may have faced boos at the Super Bowl, her dedicated fanbase remains unwavering. As for the crowd’s reaction, it seems sports loyalty and politics continue to be major talking points, even in the entertainment world.

Lying down on a massage table, 56-year-old Dion experiences spasms. Her doctor, Lobo, cautions that these spasms could “lead to a crisis.”
Soon after, the icon begins to experience a severe seizure. Her doctor swiftly calls for another medical team member to give her a medication used to treat nervous system disorders.

At that moment, Dion can be heard groaning in pain as she shakes uncontrollably while lying face down. In a startling moment, Dion appears wide-eyed and unable to move independently.
Despite her condition, she remains conscious and manages to signal her awareness by weakly squeezing one of the medical expert’s hands.

Following the administration of two doses of a nasal spray, Dion starts to recover from the seizure. The doctor mentions that if she hadn’t responded, they would have needed to rush her to the hospital.
As the My Heart Will Go On singer seems to regain her composure, she confesses to everyone in the room that experiences like these leave her feeling “so embarrassed.”

Describing her horrible experience, the singer says, “I don’t know how to express it, like, it’s just … you know, like, to not have control of yourself?” Her doctor, Lobo, explains that the likely trigger for the seizure was Dion’s recent session in the studio where she had been singing, which overstimulated her brain.
Dion replied, “Well, what am I gonna do? If I can’t get stimulated by what I love, and then I’m gonna go onstage and, like, you’re gonna put the pulse oximeter on me, and you’re gonna turn me on my back?”
