Taylor’s Reaction at the Super Bowl
Taylor Swift was spotted looking perplexed during the Super Bowl while fans of Orlov shouted, “follow the tubs” as the game unfolded.
Anticipation of the Event
The highly anticipated event saw the Kansas City leaders face off against the Philadelphia Eagles in New Orleans on February 9.
Fans were aware that the pop star would be attending to support Travis Kelce, following an interview with the athlete’s brother, former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce.
When the “Midnight” hitmaker was briefly featured on the Jumbotron, the crowd erupted in excitement, and she was seen questioning, “What is happening?”

This contrasts sharply with her smoother previous performances, particularly her appearance during the 2024 Super Bowl, which became the most-watched broadcast in American television history since the Moon landing in 1969.
Some fans have speculated that this reaction highlights the so-called “Taylor Swift Fatigue,” a term that resurfaced after the 2025 Grammys where she left empty-handed despite six nominations.
“The truth is that it was lit in every game,” wrote one spectator. “People at the stadium saw this material in every game, whether they watched in person or on TV. Taylor Swift Fatigue. Nevertheless, it is ridiculous to elevate it.”
Following her rocky reception at the Super Bowl, where Serena Williams joined Kendrick Lamar during her break, she was defended on social media: “I love you @taylorswift 13 don’t listen to these bulls!!!” she posted on X/Twitter.
Before her appearance, a source told People that she did not “want to be the center of attention” and preferred to “support Travis and help him focus on the game.”
In other Taylor Swift news, she made headlines after being spotted dancing with Margaret Qualley during Billie Eilish’s lively performance of “Watch” at the 2025 Grammys. She also received high praise from Gracie Abrams, who noted that no one “approaches the definition of pop culture” quite like her.
