The Kansas City Chiefs faced a heartbreaking defeat on Super Bowl Sunday, losing 22-40 to the Philadelphia Eagles—a result that dashed their hopes for a third consecutive championship. Among the supporters in the crowd was Taylor Swift, who was there to cheer for her partner, Travis Kelce, in what many found to be a disappointing event for Chiefs fans.
Nevertheless, fans of Swift found a positive twist to the Eagles’ victory, cleverly referencing the singer’s past connections and lyrics that relate to her fandom.
Swifties find joy in the Eagles’ triumph
Fans of Taylor Swift, despite her current affiliation with the Kansas City Chiefs through her relationship with Kelce, are keenly aware that she has long been a supporter of the Philadelphia Eagles since her childhood. This connection did not go unnoticed.
After the game, numerous fans took to social media to share lines from Swift’s song “gold rush,” which mentions the Eagles: “I see me padding ‘cross your wooden floors / With my Eagles t-shirt hanging from the door.”
These fans transformed Swift’s lyrics into a fun way to celebrate the team’s triumph in the Super Bowl.
One fan humorously noted, “Congratulations, Taylor Swift, on your second Super Bowl win in a row!” referencing the Chiefs‘ victory the previous year.
Another echoed, “Taylor Swift‘s home state wins the Super Bowl! Pennsylvania forever!” following the Eagles win.
Even as her relationship with Kelce aligns her more closely with Kansas City, Swift‘s roots in Philadelphia are strong. Prior to her romance with Kelce, she was often seen wearing Eagles merchandise, and her songs reflect her longstanding connection to the team.
Trump comments on Swift’s reception at the game
The Super Bowl 2025 also had a notable interaction involving Taylor Swift and former President Donald Trump.
During the event, parts of the crowd reportedly booed Swift, a moment Trump quickly highlighted.
On Truth Social, he shared a post that stated: “Trump receives huge cheers at the Super Bowl while Taylor Swift gets booed. The world is healing!”
The ex-president, who has had a contentious relationship with Swift, attended the game along with several family members, including Ivanka and Eric Trump.
