Packed NFL Stadium Sends Taylor Swift a Harsh Message, and Her Fans Aren't Happy

By Ben Kew December 19, 2023 at 6:13am

Despite the success of her record-breaking world tour, it appears Taylor Swift is not popular in all quarters.

The singer, who is famously dating Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce, was audibly booed Sunday as she watched her boyfriend play against the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts.

Footage circulating across social media showed the star, who attended the game with her father, Scott, and fellow singer Alana Haim, being jeered as live images of her appeared across the jumbotron screen.

It is not exactly clear what the fans were booing her for, although it may be because of her left-wing advocacy.

Just last month, as Breitbart reported, she urged her followers to promote the left-wing voter registration organization Vote.org and has repeatedly spoken of her opposition to Donald Trump and the Republican Party platform.

Another theory is that NFL fans have come to see her as a distraction from the sport that they love.

Swift seemed to take the ribbing in stride, displaying an “I knew it was coming” grin, sticking her tongue out and flashing a peace sign.

Many of her fans, who often refer to themselves as ‘”Swifties,” have leaped to her defense, with one even declaring that they would “personally fight everyone who booed Taylor.”

The 34-year-old was recently named Time magazine’s “Person of the Year” amid the incredible success of her world tour and growing cultural impact.

In her interview with the magazine, she discussed how she felt about being displayed on the big screens and the attention she receives when watching her boyfriend play.

Do you watch NFL games?

“I don’t know how they know what suite I’m in,” she explained.

“There’s a camera, like, a half-mile away, and you don’t know where it is, and you have no idea when the camera is putting you in the broadcast, so I don’t know if I’m being shown 17 times or once.”

“I’m just there to support Travis,” she continued. “I have no awareness of if I’m being shown too much and pissing off a few dads, Brads, and Chads.”

Sunday’s boos might have angered Swift’s fans, but apparently they did little to hurt the Chiefs playing. Kansas City won the game 27-17.

A Note from Our Staff:

Did you know that 90 percent of advertisers will have nothing to do with The Western Journal? The liberal elites have put us on one of their financial kill lists.

They did it because we’ve told the truth and spoken out against them for over a decade. And since they couldn’t shut us up, now, they’re trying to starve us out.

We’re turning to you because, frankly, we have to have your help. It might not sound like much, but just one membership to The Western Journal can make a real difference.

We don’t have a huge staff, big salaries, or deep donor pockets. We’re family-owned and independent. But because we're independent from the elites, we have to rely on readers like you.

Can we count on you for just a single membership? The cost of a month-long membership is less than a single cup of Starbucks coffee. And, unlike with Starbucks, you can be 100 percent certain that every penny we spend goes toward fighting for traditional American values and against liberal elites.
