The pop superstar has been a constant presence at Kansas City Chiefs games for over a year, but as the team prepares for Super Bowl LIX, some fans are beginning to feel fatigued by the spotlight on her and wondering if she’ll once again steal the show.
Taylor Swift has been making waves in the NFL world—not for her music, but for showing up to support her boyfriend, Travis Kelce. With the Chiefs gearing up for the Super Bowl on February 9, 2025, at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, speculation is mounting about whether she’ll be in attendance.
Her Plans for the Big Game
Kelce’s brother, Jason Kelce, recently put the rumors to rest, confirming that Swift will be at this year’s Super Bowl to cheer on Travis and the Chiefs. In a February 4 interview, he stated, “Trav and Taylor” will be joining their family and friends for the big event.

Since first appearing at a Chiefs game in September 2023, Swift has become a familiar face on the sidelines, with her latest appearance being the AFC Championship on January 26, where she celebrated on the field with Kelce after the team’s win over the Buffalo Bills.
If the Chiefs manage to take down the Philadelphia Eagles this year, they’ll make history as the first NFL team to win three consecutive Super Bowls—raising the stakes for this already high-profile matchup.
Keeping It Under the Radar
Although Taylor Swift’s attendance is confirmed, she’s not looking to steal the show. A source told The U.S. Sun that she “doesn’t want to be the center of attention” and is planning to fly into New Orleans just a day or two before the big game.
Her main focus? Supporting Kelce. “She is dreaming about him making history and reaching another dream of his, winning another Super Bowl and making a three-peat,” the source shared.
Turning Down the Halftime Spotlight
Swift previously declined the chance to headline the Super Bowl LVII Halftime Show, citing her commitment to re-recording her first six albums following a dispute with her former label.

For Super Bowl LVIII, her packed tour schedule took priority. Plus, a source told The Daily Mail that Swift is “in no rush” to take on the performance, wanting to do it on her own terms.
Her Presence Sparks Controversy
Not everyone is thrilled about Taylor Swift’s frequent appearances during NFL broadcasts. Many fans have taken to social media to vent their frustration, claiming the coverage has shifted too much focus onto her rather than the actual game.
“Normally I’d root for the Chiefs… not this time. Broadcasters will flood us with Taylor Swift.. I cannot stand her. Enough already,” one fan wrote. Another echoed the sentiment, saying, “Can I just say this….. I really can’t take another Taylor Swift Super Bowl. It’s just gross.”
Some critics argue that the NFL has become overly commercialized, with one user listing their reasons for skipping the game: “Reasons I won’t be watching: Goodell in bed with JZ, causing us to endure a halftime of the worst garbage ever heard; Rigged Refs ensuring a KC win; and Seeing Taylor Swift every five minutes.”
Others believe this year’s Super Bowl could suffer a dip in ratings. “I’m predicting one of the lowest rated Super Bowls of the last decade. Also, people are sick and tired of seeing Taylor Swift and getting the updates about her outfits and every move. It’s played out,” one person predicted.
Even Swift’s own fans admit her presence has altered their football experience. “I love Taylor Swift but she’s absolutely RUINED football for me. As much as it pains my NFC East heart to say this, I hope the Eagles win because I literally hate the Chiefs now because of her. Like why […] is the camera panning to her, she’s not in the game,” one user admitted.
For some, the frustration stems from both the repetitive Super Bowl matchups and Swift’s omnipresence. “I’m so tired of the Chiefs and Taylor Swift,” one person bluntly stated.
Another fan shared a similar sentiment: “I don’t want to watch the Super Bowl this time either. I’m tired of the same teams year after year. And the fact to have to see Taylor Swift during the game is so boring.”
