9 Views

All eyes were on Taylor Swift, and not entirely for the right reasons during the Superbowl. The pop superstar, dating Kansas City Chiefs Travis Kelce, found herself in the middle of a proper drama.

Taylor Swift got booed. Loud, echoing boos rained down when she appeared on the stadium’s big screen.

TAYLOR SWIFT LOSES FOLLOWERS

Her reaction? A visible moment of stunned silence, followed by a whispered, “Aww what, what’s going on,” according to lipreader Nicola Hickling, according to Daily Mail.

And the fallout? Taylor Swift has reportedly lost a whopping 144,200 Instagram followers since that moment.

According to SportsMillions, her follower count took a serious knock. Kelce, on the other hand, saw a gain of 12,370 new followers, despite the Chiefs losing to the Philadelphia Eagles.

DONALD TRUMP WEIGHS IN

Former US President Donald Trump even weighed in on the situation via his Truth Social platform, according to Marca.

He wrote, “The only one that had a tougher night than the Kansas City Chiefs was Taylor Swift. She got BOOED out of the Stadium. MAGA is very unforgiving!” Can you believe it?

A source close to Kelce revealed, “Travis knew Taylor was getting booed, and he felt helpless.”

Seeing the look on her face got to him.” He felt bad that he couldn’t protect her.

Of course, the internet went wild, turning Swift’s reaction into a viral meme.

SERENA WILLIAMS SHOWS SUPPORT TO TAYLOR SWIFT

But it wasn’t all negativity. Serena Williams showed her support, tweeting, “I love you @taylorswift13 Don’t listen to those booo!!” That’s the South African spirit, right there!

It seems that many Eagles fans weren’t too happy.

The source continued, “It’s clear to many that the Eagles fans feel she is a traitor of sorts – being from Pennsylvania and even wearing Eagles gear before dating him.”

So, what’s next for Taylor and Travis? Word on the street is they are planning to take a step back from the limelight, according to AOL.

An insider shared that they will “have a break together” because the Super Bowl loss “was upsetting for everyone.”

KENDRICK LAMAR AT THE SUPERBOWL

Speaking of the halftime show, Kendrick Lamar took centre stage this year. There’s been chatter about Swift headlining in the future.

“She doesn’t want to do it now until Travis is fully retired as she would like to be at the game supporting him rather than performing at it.” Now that is some commitment!

Taylor Swift also has a long-standing partnership with Coca-Cola.

UNBOTHERED

“If Pepsi wasn’t the sponsor of the halftime show for so many years, then Taylor Swift would have potentially already been the performer,” the source added.

Taylor Swift’s Super Bowl experience was a mixed bag of boos, social media drama, and support from fellow stars.

As for the rand conversions, let’s just say that losing 144,200 followers is like losing a small fortune – though I doubt Taylor is shedding any tears over it.
