US President Donald Trump took time off on Sunday to attend the Super Bowl LIX, where he took a dig and trolled pop star Taylor Swift online, once again stoking his feud with her.
The Super Bowl LIX, which took place at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, held the game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs. Pop superstar Taylor Swift attended the game to support her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. However, the pop star faced unexpected boos from Philadelphia Eagles fans during the first quarter when she appeared on the stadium’s Jumbotron. Initially puzzled by the crowd’s reaction, Swift soon realised the boos were directed at her. She responded with a side-eye and a slight nose wrinkle, a moment that quickly went viral on social media.

Donald Trump’s Heated History with Swift
Trump’s latest attempt to ridicule Swift adds to their heated history. The US president has never shied away from expressing his dislike of the 35-year-old singe. He had openly admitted it many times on social media even writing on Truth Social, “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!” back in September 2024.

In the 2024 presidential race, Trump personally requested Swift not to endorse his opponent, Kamala Harris. Despite this, Swift supported Harris, further escalating tensions. Trump’s misconception that Swift endorsed him, due to AI-generated images, added fuel to their feud.
