In February, after defeating the Kansas City Chiefs, the Philadelphia Eagles became Super Bowl champions. In addition to the city’s celebrations, several members of the team visited the White House, where Donald Trump turned their championship victory into a negative Taylor Swift moment.
“It was an incredible game. A little surprising, but right from the beginning of the first quarter of the big game, which I was there I watched in person.” “I was there along with Taylor Swift, how did that work out? How did that one work out?,” said Trump.
The superstar singer/songwriter attended the game in support of Travis Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs player she has been dating for nearly two years.
Trump has a long history of taunting the now 35-year old songstress, who used her platform to endorse Joe Biden in 2020 and Kamala Harris in 2024 after regretting not endorsing a candidate in the 2016 presidential election. Following the Super Bowl, Donald took to Truth Social with “The only one who had a tougher night than the Kansas City Chiefs was Taylor Swift. She got BOOED out of the Stadium. MAGA is very unforgiving.”
Per Reuters, the crowd at Caesars Superdome greeted Trump with “a mix of cheers and boos” when he entered the sports arena, becoming the first sitting president to do so, despite a complicated relationship with the National Football League.
By focusing on the multi-Grammy award winner as though she were on the field herself could be a deflection from a number of Eagles players who were in the game, skipping the White House visit. When star quarterback Jalen Hurts was asked last week whether he planned to attend, he offered the reporter an awkward “um,” followed by a prolonged silence and a swift exit. He ultimately didn’t show up. Several other players missed the visit, too, citing scheduling conflicts, per the NFL.
