Even tennis legend Serena Williams jumped in, tweeting: “I love you @taylorswift13 don’t listen to those booo!!”

Some couldn’t help but notice the stark contrast in reactions between Swift and former President Donald Trump, who made history as the first sitting president to attend the Super Bowl. While he was met with loud cheers, Swift faced a mixed reception. One fan pointed it out bluntly: “Trump gets cheered by #SuperBowlLIX crowd and Taylor Swift is booed.”

Ahead of the big game, Trump expressed his excitement about attending, sharing a statement celebrating both teams and the spirit of American football:

“The coaches, players, and team staff on the field tonight represent the best of the best in professional football, but they also embody the best of the American Dream.”

He went on to praise the dedication and perseverance of the athletes, calling their journeys inspiring:

“They also represent the hopes and dreams of our Nation’s young athletes as we restore safety and fairness in sports and equal opportunities among their teams.”

Trump highlighted football’s unique ability to unite people across all backgrounds:

“Football is America’s most popular sport—for good reason—it fosters a sense of national unity, bringing families, friends, and fans together and strengthening communities.”

He ended his remarks by acknowledging the nation’s military, law enforcement, and first responders:

“We value their devotion to protecting our great Nation and salute their selfless service.”
