The singer Taylor Swift was booed by the audience attending the Super Bowl on Sunday when the giant screen at the Caesars Superdome showed her sitting in the stands.
The popular performer initially appeared surprised by the crowd's negative reaction, but soon smiled, as shown in videos shared on social media.
At the game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles, President Donald Trump was also present, receiving applause when he appeared on the screen during the national anthem, accompanied by Melania and his daughter Ivanka.
The Republican did not want to overlook the different reactions of the fans and posted a comment on his platform on Truth Social.
"The only one who had a tougher night than the Kansas City Chiefs was Taylor Swift. She was booed and thrown out of the stadium. MAGA is truly relentless!" he wrote.
Taylor is the girlfriend of Travis Kelce, the star tight end of the Chiefs, who were defeated by the Eagles 40-22.
Throughout the entire 2024-2025 season, the artist has attended the team's games, except for those that coincided with her concerts during the Eras Tour. However, her presence at the stadium on Sunday was not enough to secure a victory. This time, the singer was accompanied by her family, rapper Ice Spice, and members of the band Haim.
Trump is the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl, a milestone in the history of the most important sports event in the country.
The confrontation between the two has been ongoing since last year, when the pop star publicly declared her support for Kamala Harris's candidacy in the presidential election.
"I am going to vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 presidential elections. I believe she is a strong and talented leader, and I think we can achieve much more in this country if she brings us calm and not chaos," she stated on her Instagram account.
In response, Trump replied on Truth Social: "I hate Taylor Swift."
