It was an evening of highs, lows, and controversy at the Super Bowl. Swift has been a frequent presence at the games, and cheering on her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, she received a few unexpected boos when the large screen found her in attendance. It caused an immediate flurry on social media, but one person took the opportunity to throw down some shade.
Donald Trump gleefully boasted about the crowd’s response to Swift on social media, “The only one that had a tougher night than the Kansas City Chiefs was Taylor Swift,” he wrote. “She got BOOED out of the Stadium. MAGA is very unforgiving!”
His jab was a not-so-subtle allusion to Swift’s overtly political views. In recent years, the pop superstar has used her platform to support progressive candidates, publicly endorsing Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, moves that clearly didn’t go over well with Trump or his loyal base.
On the other hand, Trump’s post made the moment a full political moment. His statement that “MAGA is very unforgiving” also conveyed a message. The other side (even global superstars) is not free from backlash. The statement also revealed speculation that he was trying to stage a comeback of an old feud.
