Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is apparently aware that his girlfriend, pop superstar Taylor Swift, was booed when she was shown on the jumbotron at Caesars Superdome during his team's Super Bowl LIX loss to the Philadelphia Eagles Sunday (February 9) night.

"He always protects her and it broke his heart," a source close to Kelce told the Daily Mail. "He was already having a tough night and the fact that the stadium was predominantly Eagles fans didn't help. Travis knows that this hurt her and anyone can see this.

Swift, who was born in Pennsylvania and had previously claimed to be an Eagles fan prior to dating Kelce, appeared to be caught off guard by the negative response, mouthing, "What's going on?" to rapper Ice Spice. The singer has been the target of some NFL fans who have complained about the attention she's received for attending Kelce's games and the stadium appeared to be majority Eagles fans, with the Chiefs getting booed loudly during their team introduction prior to kickoff.

President Donald Trump took credit for fans at Super Bowl LIX booing Swift, claiming it was due to her endorsement of former Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election, as well as her past criticism of him.

'It’s clear to many that the Eagles fans feel she is a traitor of sorts - being from Pennsylvania and even wearing Eagles gear prior to dating him. Travis believes that it was unnecessary for Trump to take a dig at her especially after he voiced that he was honored for a president to be there," the source told the Daily Mail.

Tennis legend Serena Williams, who made a surprise appearance during Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl Halftime Show, also showed her support of Swift in a post shared on her X account.
