On the night of February 9-10, the 59th Super Bowl, the final game of the National Football League (NFL) season, took place in New Orleans, USA. The Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles faced off in the arena, with the Eagles emerging victorious and claiming the coveted trophy designed by Tiffany & Co.

Many American football fans — and not only them — know that the high ratings of the game are not just due to the teams’ performance but also the relationship between singer Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce. Last year, a photo of the couple kissing after the Chiefs’ victory went viral worldwide, significantly boosting the Super Bowl’s ratings. This time, there was widespread speculation that Kelce would propose to Swift if his team won, a moment that would have gone down in history. However, the singer became the evening’s headline for a different reason — she was booed by football fans.

Every time Taylor appeared on the screen, the entire stadium erupted in disapproving jeers and boos. Her reaction quickly became a meme, as Swift simply shot a mocking glance at the displeased crowd. The reason for the audience’s behavior may have been the couple’s pre-game dinner. In the sports world, there is a superstition that athletes should not spend time with their wives or girlfriends before a game, as it is believed to bring bad luck. Ultimately, Travis Kelce’s team, the Kansas City Chiefs, lost the decisive match.
Meanwhile, Swift’s close friend Blake Lively was notably absent from the major sporting event. Reports emerged that Taylor had removed her from the guest list. Instead, rapper Ice Spice was seated next to Taylor. The decision might have been linked to the scandal between Lively and Justin Baldoni, in which Swift’s name was repeatedly mentioned—a situation she reportedly disliked. According to the media, Swift was furious and has since stopped speaking to the actress.

Lady Gaga opened Super Bowl 2025 with a tribute performance of Hold My Hand in memory of victims of terrorist attacks. Once again, she surprised viewers with a dramatic transformation. Just a week ago, at the Grammy Awards, Gaga embraced a gothic look, wearing a black dress with a voluminous skirt, sleeves, and a high collar, paired with a black wig.

However, at the Super Bowl, she appeared in a completely different style — sporting light-colored hair and an all-white outfit. A large hat made her look striking, though it nearly concealed her petite figure. Many fans speculated that Gaga was trying to hide from excessive attention.
