'Plain misogyny': Internet reacts as crowd boos Taylor Swift while Donald Trump gets cheered at Super Bowl 2025
Fans have come out in Taylor Swift's defense after she was booed by the Eagles fans at the Super Bowl 2025. They also slammed the crows for cheering on President Donald Trump who was lauded during Jon Batiste's performance at the game. Serena Williams also came out in support of Swift.
Taylor Swift's experience at the Super Bowl this year was a total flip from last year¡ªinstead of being cheered on, she was booed by the crowd when she appeared on the video boards inside the Superdome. Since the crowd was heavily in favor of the Philadelphia Eagles, and Swift is dating Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce, fans didn't exactly expect cheers, but nobody could have predicted Taylor getting booed at. Meanwhile, the crowd was seen cheering for Donald Trump who became first sitting president of the United States to attend a Super Bowl match. Swift's fans have now slammed the Eagles fans, calling out the alleged misogyny.
Taylor Swift gets booed at Super Bowl
Taylor Swift was in attendance at the Super Bowl on Sunday, cheering on her boyfriend Travis Kelce, a star player for the Kansas City Chiefs. However, her presence at the big game was met with a mixed reaction from the crowd, with some fans of the opposing team, the Philadelphia Eagles, booing her when she appeared on the jumbotron at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.
While the TTPD crooner mostly remained unfazed by the negativity, she was seen giving a jarring side-eye when she realized the booing was directed at her. ¡°What's going on?¡± she said in disbelief.
