Fans reveal why Taylor Swift was booed at the Super Bowl

She commands a fan base in the tens of millions, has been one of the most recognizable figures in the world for the past two years, and maintains a reputation largely free of controversy.

Attending the game at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans to support her boyfriend, Chiefs’ tight end Travis Kelce, Swift seemed unaware of the sudden reaction from the crowd.

Caught off guard, Swift turned to friend and fellow artist Ice Spice, seemingly mouthing, “What is going on?”
