This season, Taylor Swift has supported her boyfriend, NFL player Travis Kelce, at Arrowhead, making her the unofficial face of Chiefs fans. However, she still had to deal with an old WAG ritual on Sunday night: being booed when she went to the home field of the other team.
Taylor Swift was heckled
Swift got bad feedback over the weekend while she was in Foxborough, Massachusetts, watching the Chiefs play the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium. At the stadium, the singer was seen on the jumbotron with her dad and Brittany Mahomes, who is married to Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. The video was shared by X user @DonnieMexico17. What it said was “Welcome back to Gillette Stadium.” She played three sold-out Eras Tour shows at the stadium in May, in case you forgot.
Even though Taylor is usually greeted with cheers, Patriots fans decided to be rude to her when she came on screen. The movie star got up, laughed, smiled, and even gave the boos a kiss before turning to Mahomes and saying, “I knew this was coming.”Swift went to Sunday’s game just a few weeks after being honest with Time for its Person of the Year cover story about how she felt about being filmed at Chiefs games.
She said this about the NFL broadcasts that record her emotions during games: “I don’t know how they know what suite I’m in.” “I don’t know if I’m being shown 17 times or once because there’s a camera, like, a half mile away, and you have no idea where it is or when the camera is putting you in the broadcast.” This is all I’m doing to help Travis. I don’t know if that makes any parents, Brads, or Chads mad that I’m being shown too much.
