Donald Trump never misses a chance to take a swing at… well, anyone, and this time, it was Taylor Swift who caught his ire. The former president made several remarks about the singer during Super Bowl LIX, which took place yesterday, giving us plenty to talk about.
Super Bowl LIX was packed with emotions, from Kendrick Lamar’s halftime show, full of subtle jabs at Trump and Drake, to the Philadelphia Eagles securing a win over the Kansas City Chiefs in their third consecutive Super Bowl appearance.
But that wasn’t all. As usual, a slew of celebrities gathered to watch the game and enjoy the halftime performance, and this year, the event took place at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, where Taylor Swift and Donald Trump happened to cross paths.

Trump’s Messages for Taylor Swift
This was the first Super Bowl where a sitting U.S. president attended, and Trump made sure we all knew it. Through his Truth Social account, he posted several messages aimed at Taylor Swift, who was in the stands supporting her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce.
In his first post, Trump shared two videos: one of Swift being booed by Eagles fans and another of himself clapping as the game kicked off. Fans quickly picked up on the fact that it seemed like Trump was celebrating the boos directed at Taylor.

But the posts didn’t stop there. Trump reposted his original video with a new image that read:
“Trump gets massive cheers at the Super Bowl while Taylor Swift gets booed.”
Not satisfied with that, Trump followed up with a third message, taking another dig at Swift. He claimed that the only person who had a more difficult night than the Chiefs, who lost 40–22, was… Taylor Swift. He also threw in a little political jab, claiming that his “Make America Great Again” campaign is relentless.
“The only one that had a tougher night than the Kansas City Chiefs was Taylor Swift. She got BOOED out of the stadium. MAGA is very unforgiving!”
Immediately, users speculated that Trump’s posts were a transparent attempt to get attention, especially since he couldn’t stand being in the same place as a superstar like Taylor Swift. Fans praised Taylor for giving him the cold shoulder, remaining unbothered by his comments as if she didn’t even notice.
