"Traitor" Taylor Swift was booed during the Super Bowl 2025: Trump gloated and the singer's reaction became a meme. Video
American singer Taylor Swift was booed during the Super Bowl 2025 when she was shown on the big screen at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, USA. The pop star arrived at the game to support her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce, but the public reaction was not entirely friendly.
The situation gained even more publicity after former US President Donald Trump openly gloated about it on his social media. Instead, the footage of Swift's confused reaction instantly spread across the Internet, turning into a new meme. OBOZ.UA will tell you more about this incident.
Why Taylor Swift was booed
There are several versions of why the singer was called a "traitor." Firstly, Swift grew up in Pennsylvania, where the Philadelphia Eagles are based, and they were the Kansas City Chiefs' rival in the final. So many fans considered her support for her boyfriend a "betrayal."
Secondly, Taylor and Travis had dinner together the night before the game, which is considered bad luck in the sports environment: players should not see their loved ones before important games. The 40-22 defeat of the Kansas City Chiefs only confirmed this theory for superstitious fans.
Thirdly, Taylor Swift's boyfriend supports US President Donald Trump, while the singer called for voting for his rival Kamala Harris during the election campaign.
Memes have appeared online
The video, which quickly went viral, shows Swift looking at her friends in surprise and asking, "Wait, what's going on?" This became the subject of numerous jokes on social media.
Hate speech by Donald Trump
Trump hinted that MAGA (Make America Great Again) fans booed Taylor because of her political views. The singer has repeatedly criticized Republicans, while her boyfriend, on the other hand, spoke positively about the president's presence at the Super Bowl.
"The only one who had a harder night than the Kansas City Chiefs was Taylor Swift, who was booed out of the stadium. MAGA remembers everything!" said Donald Trump.
After this statement, Travis Kelce took offense to the US president.
A source close to the man told the Daily Mail: "Travis knew Taylor was being booed and felt helpless. Seeing the look on her face made him feel helpless. He's always been protective of her and it broke his heart. He was already having a rough night, and the fact that the stadium was mostly filled with Philadelphia Eagles fans didn't help. Travis knows it hurts, and anyone can see that. It's obvious to many that Philadelphia Eagles fans consider her a traitor."
As a reminder, Donald Trump and Taylor Swift are not friends because the singer supported US presidential candidate Kamala Harris. The politician claimed to hate the singer. Earlier, Trump shared fake images generated by artificial intelligence on social media, in which Swift and her supporters supported him. Swift called these images the reason she made her support public.
