The Super Bowl saw the Philadelphia Eagles overpower the Kansas City Chiefs with a decisive 40-22 victory, crushing the Chiefs’ hopes of securing an unprecedented third consecutive title. For Travis Kelce, the loss was tough enough, but the night became even more bitter when his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, was met with boos from the crowd.
Swift Booed by the Crowd
As Swift appeared on the jumbotron, the stadium erupted in jeers, leaving the singer visibly puzzled. Turning to her friend Ice Spice, she asked, “What is going on?”
Though she remained professional, responding with a composed side-eye to the camera, the moment was undoubtedly uncomfortable for her.
Kelce, according to those close to him, felt the impact just as deeply.
“Travis was aware of Taylor getting booed, and he felt helpless. Seeing the look on her face got to him,” a source revealed.
“He always protects her, and it broke his heart. He was already having a tough night, and the fact that the stadium was filled mostly with Eagles fans didn’t make things easier. Travis knows this hurt her, and anyone could see that.”

Eagles Fans See Swift as a “Traitor”
Many believe that Swift’s connection to Pennsylvania, where she previously supported the Eagles, played a role in the backlash. “It’s clear that Eagles fans feel she’s a traitor of sorts—being from Pennsylvania and even wearing Eagles gear before dating him,” the source added.
Trump Weighs In
Kelce also allegedly reacted to former President Donald Trump’s comments about Swift being booed. Trump, the first sitting U.S. president to attend the Super Bowl, took to Truth Social to write, “Trump gets massive cheers at the Super Bowl while Taylor Swift gets booed. The world is healing!”
Before the game, Kelce had expressed that he would be honored to play in front of any sitting president, regardless of who they were. The source noted, “Travis believes it was unnecessary for Trump to take a dig at her, especially after he had already said he was honored to have a president there.”
A Tough Week for Kelce and Swift
Between Swift being shut out at the Grammys and Kelce losing the biggest game of the year, it hasn’t been an easy week for the couple. However, despite the disappointment, Kelce finds solace in their relationship.
“This may not be the happy ending he wanted for the season, but having her love brings him so much joy,” the source concluded.
