U.S. President Donald Trump took to his Truth Social platform to mock pop star Taylor Swift after she was reportedly booed during the Super Bowl on Sunday. The game, held at the Superdome in New Orleans, saw the Kansas City Chiefs fall to a crushing 40-22 defeat against the Philadelphia Eagles. Swift, who was in attendance to support her boyfriend, Chiefs star Travis Kelce, became a target of Trump’s social media jabs following the game.
Trump, who made history by becoming the first sitting U.S. President to attend a Super Bowl, departed the stadium shortly after halftime but did not miss an opportunity to take a swipe at Swift. “The only one that had a tougher night than the Kansas City Chiefs was Taylor Swift,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “She got BOOED out of the Stadium. MAGA is very unforgiving!”
The former president’s comments followed an earlier post from another account that Trump shared, which contrasted the reception he received at the Super Bowl with that of Swift. Trump was met with loud cheers and applause when he appeared on the stadium’s giant screen, saluting while singing the U.S. national anthem. The post Trump reshared read: “Trump gets massive cheers at the Super Bowl while Taylor Swift gets booed – the world is healing!”
Swift has been an outspoken critic of Trump and previously endorsed Kamala Harris during the last U.S. presidential election. Her political stance has drawn ire from Trump supporters, who have frequently targeted her online. Last year, Trump reacted to Swift’s endorsement of Harris by declaring on Truth Social: “I hate Taylor Swift.”
The tension between Trump and Swift reflects broader political and cultural divisions in the U.S. Swift, who has a massive global fanbase, has increasingly used her platform to advocate for progressive causes, while Trump’s MAGA base remains largely opposed to her political views.
Despite Trump’s remarks, Swift remains one of the most influential and successful artists in the world. Her appearance at the Super Bowl, while marred by reported boos, was yet another high-profile moment in her public life. Meanwhile, Trump’s presence at the event highlights his ongoing influence as he gears up for another potential presidential run.
As the political divide in America continues to play out in pop culture, figures like Swift and Trump remain at the center of the conversation, proving that even a football game cannot escape the country’s deep-seated ideological battles.
