NJ Hickling, a professional lip reader, stated that the pop star asked Ice Spice, “Aw, what? What’s going on?” The singer went viral for the intense side-eye she gave the camera during the incident. Swift wore a white bodysuit, bedazzled jean shorts, and thigh-high white boots at the Caesars Superdome.

She honored her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, by wearing a necklace gifted by him. The Eagles dominated the game, winning 40-22 against Kelce’s team, the Kansas City Chiefs.

Swift’s Super Bowl surprise reaction
Swift’s reaction to the fans’ boos quickly spread across social media. Kelce, 35, commented on the Chiefs’ performance post-game, stating that the team “couldn’t find a spark” and noting, “We haven’t played that bad all year. You don’t lose like that without everything going bad.
[We] couldn’t get it going offensively.”
Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes addressed Kelce’s potential retirement in his own interview, stating, “I know he still has a love for the game, and he’ll spend some time with his family to make that decision.”
Swift’s appearance at the game followed her disappointment at the Grammy Awards, where she did not win in any of her six nominated categories. The pop star has been in a high-profile relationship with Kelce since 2023. Ahead of the Super Bowl, the couple enjoyed a date night in New Orleans, appearing relaxed before the big game.
However, Swift looked visibly stressed during the blowout loss. Despite the public’s reactions and the game’s outcome, Swift and Kelce’s relationship appears to remain strong as they navigate their high-profile lives.
