The 2025 Super Bowl wasn’t just about football—it turned into a cultural battleground when former President Donald Trump took to social media to mock Taylor Swift after she was reportedly booed by the crowd. The pop superstar, attending to support her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, became an unexpected target for Trump’s trolling.
While the Chiefs suffered a crushing 40-14 defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles, Trump seemed more interested in the public reaction to Swift. His online taunts set social media on fire, reigniting a long-standing feud between the two.
Trump Takes a Victory Lap on Social Media
As the Chiefs collapsed on the field, Trump took to Truth Social to celebrate what he claimed was the crowd’s rejection of Swift. He shared a post comparing the audience’s reaction to himself versus Swift, implying that he received cheers while she was met with boos.
“Trump gets massive cheers at the Super Bowl while Taylor Swift gets booed.”
This post fueled intense discussions across the internet, with Trump supporters reveling in the moment while Swift’s fans rushed to her defense.
Social Media Explodes Over Trump’s Swift Trolling
Trump’s online antics didn’t go unnoticed. His dig at Swift became an instant viral sensation, sparking heated debates among fans, political analysts, and casual Super Bowl viewers.
Here’s how people reacted:
- “Completely shows what a sad, fragile little man he really is.”
- “They both got booed lol, but his delusional narcissism only allows him to hear cheers.”
- “Wtf… is he totally unhinged? Fighting over who got more attention, acting like a 15-year-old!!!”
- “Yeah, that’s what I look for in a president. Someone who needs to boo a pop star…”
- “They were probably booing him, truth be told. Lol.”
While some found Trump’s trolling entertaining, others saw it as yet another example of his obsession with celebrity culture and public approval.
A History of Bad Blood: Trump vs. Swift
This Super Bowl drama wasn’t the first time Trump and Swift had clashed. Their feud dates back to Swift’s public endorsement of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in the 2020 election, which infuriated Trump.
In September 2024, Trump took a direct shot at Swift on Truth Social, writing:
“I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!”
The post came after Swift encouraged her massive fanbase to vote for Biden-Harris, a move that further cemented her political influence. Over the years, she has emerged as a vocal critic of Trump’s policies, making their animosity well-documented.
Trump’s Super Bowl Exit and Failed Predictions
While Trump enjoyed his moment of social media pettiness, his own night at the Super Bowl wasn’t entirely triumphant.
Before the game, he confidently predicted a Chiefs victory, praising quarterback Patrick Mahomes:
“When a quarterback wins as much as Mahomes has won—I have to go with Kansas City.”
But as the game turned into a blowout loss, Trump didn’t stick around to witness the end. He left the stadium shortly after halftime, skipping the Chiefs’ disappointing finish.
Trump’s Historic Super Bowl Appearance
Despite the controversy, Trump made history as the first sitting or former U.S. president to attend a Super Bowl in person. He arrived alongside his children, Ivanka and Eric, making a grand entrance on the field, shaking hands with players and law enforcement officers.
He also took time to meet with families of victims from the New Year’s Eve ISIS attack on Bourbon Street, posing for photos and engaging with the crowd.
Super Bowl Drama: More Than Just Football
While the Chiefs’ loss dominated sports headlines, the biggest off-field storyline was the ongoing battle between Trump and Swift.
Trump’s relentless trolling, Swift’s visible discomfort, and the explosive online reactions showcased just how deeply entertainment, politics, and sports have become intertwined.
As the dust settles, one thing remains clear: in today’s world, the Super Bowl is about much more than just the game—it’s a cultural spectacle where politics, celebrity, and drama collide.
