Reddit User Reveals Why Taylor Swift Got Booed at the Super Bowl
The 14-time Grammy winner, Taylor Swift was booed by the Eagles fans upon appearing on the jumbotron at an NFL game. Eagles star Saquon Barkley questioned the booing and emphasized that Swift's presence at the games has expanded the sport's reach and popularity, despite the booing directed at her Swift remained in attendance to support her boyfriend, Travis Kelce.
While many opinions regarding why she was booed have flowed, a Reddit user has seemingly come up with the most believable reason. The Redditor, who claims that he was in the stadium during the Super Bowl, reveals that Taylor Swift came in the middle of a harmless cheer-and-boo game between the Eagles and the Chiefs fans. The rules of the game are simple, you boo or you see the opposition fans on the screen and sheet for your own. Thus, as it is a no secret that Taylor Swift is an active supporter of the Chiefs, her getting booed was only a part of the game and not because of any hatred towards her.
“Please upvote this for context because I was at the game”, the fan wrote on Reddit. “Just before they showed her on the jumbotron, the stadium was switching on the jumbotron footage between Eagles fans in the stands in Chiefs fans in the stands. Eagles' fans eventually started doing a game where they'd massively boo anytime a Chiefs fan was on the videoboard, then would cheer loudly when an Eagles fan appeared.”
He further added, “This went back and forth for quite some time. Fast forward to just a minute or so later and the jumbotron now starts showing celebrities. I believe she was the second to appear, so Eagles fans went back to playing that same game. Nothing more nothing less. It's incredible to see things like this get blown out of proportion.”
