Taylor Swift faced a hostile reception at the Caesars Superdome on Sunday night when she appeared on the jumbotron during the Super Bowl.
The singer was met with emphatic booing from the crowd when cameras focused on her during the match.
The negative reaction came from what appeared to be a stadium dominated by Philadelphia Eagles supporters rather than fans of her boyfriend Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs.
The incident marked an uncomfortable moment for Swift, who was in New Orleans to support Kelce in what could potentially be his final NFL appearance.

Swift appeared to take the booing in stride, responding with a mocking side-eye as the jeers echoed throughout the packed stadium.
The reaction highlighted a notable shift in Swift’s NFL allegiances, as she had previously claimed to be an Eagles supporter.
During an Eras Tour performance in Philadelphia, the singer had revealed that lyrics in her song “Gold Rush” were inspired by her Eagles fandom.
However, since beginning her relationship with Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, Swift’s loyalties have firmly shifted to supporting Kansas City.
Swift had previously addressed criticism of her NFL game attendance in a TIME magazine interview.

“I’m just there to support Travis,” she told the publication. “I have no awareness of if I’m being shown too much and pissing off a few dads, Brads, and Chads.”
The booing incident comes at a potentially significant moment in Kelce’s career, with speculation mounting about his possible retirement from the NFL.
The match could mark the final chapter in what has been described as Kelce’s glittering NFL career.

At the age of 35, the tight end might have one eye on the end of his career – joining his brother Jason in retirement, who departed the sport last year.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump made history by becoming the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl – marking the occasion by meeting families of the horrific terrorist attack on New Year’s Eve on Bourbon Street.
The president was widely cheered by the Super Bowl crowd when he was shown on the cameras for the first time during the singing of the national anthem.
