Donald Trump Pours Salt On Taylor Swift's 2025 Super Bowl Wound And It's Absolutely Brutal
The worst-dressed stars at the 2025 Super Bowl and President Donald Trump's disaster hairdo stole the spotlight from the Philadelphia Eagles' big win until a major spectacle involving Taylor Swift. Trump made history as the first sitting U.S. commander-in-chief to ever attend the event, and his arrival was met with both rapturous cheers and deafening boos from the attending crowd. The president, however, seemed to remember only the cheers, since he made a big deal out of Swift getting booed at the event.
The "Bad Blood" hitmaker was spotted putting on a brave face as the cameras panned to her and boos could be heard emanating from the fans. In what will surely become the latest most-used GIF on social media, Swift widened her eyes and appeared to try and laugh off the very awkward moment. To make matters worse, Trump felt the need to point it out on Truth Social, his social media platform of choice. "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!" the divisive politician wrote.

Tennis star Serena Williams rushed to her friend's defense on X, formerly known as Twitter, writing, "I love you @taylorswift13 dont listen to those booo!!" Meanwhile, the "I Knew You Were Trouble" singer and her footballer beau Travis Kelce might have already had an awkward discussion about Trump since he told reporters before the game that having him in attendance was "awesome" and "a great honor" (via X). The Chiefs tight end did, however, also clarify, "No matter who the president is, I'm excited because this is the biggest game of my life, and having the president there in one of the best countries in the world... will be pretty cool."
Taylor Swift and Donald Trump definitely have some bad blood
Donald Trump and Taylor Swift's beef goes way back to 2018, when she first made her political views public by endorsing Phil Bredesen, a Democratic candidate who was facing off against Republican candidate Marsha Blackburn, for the Senate. "I cannot support Marsha Blackburn. Her voting record in Congress appalls and terrifies me," Swift wrote in an Instagram post at the time. The divisive politician quickly fired back, telling reporters, "I'm sure Taylor Swift doesn't know anything about [Blackburn]," (via NBC News). "And let's say I like Taylor's music about 25% less now, okay?"
We can't help but wonder whether Trump did manage to resist listening to "Shake It Off" after finding out that Swift is not a fan of Republicans, especially since the discord between them has only intensified. The two-time president reportedly could not understand why she found them so appalling. According to a 2024 X post, from reporter Malanie Zanona, Trump asserted, "Why would she endorse this dope [Joe Biden]? He doesn't know how to get off a stage." Trump has made his jealousy of Swift clear on several occasions too.
The former "Apprentice" host also infamously tried to make her bend to his will by sharing multiple fake photographs of fans wearing T-shirts inscribed with the words "Swifties for Trump" on Truth Social, as well as an AI-generated image of the pop star herself endorsing him. Not long after, the "22" hitmaker took to Instagram to set the record straight, making it clear that the images weren't real. "I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election," she confirmed. Cue Trump trying to resist the urge to put on another fitting Swift song to nurse his broken heart.
