Taylor Swift channels Chiefs fans everywhere as Eagles etch big lead at halftime

(CNN) — Taylor Swift showed up to Super Bowl LIX in “Style,” but the game could be going better for her and the Chiefs. As of halftime, the Philadelphia Eagles led the Kansas City Chiefs 24-0 after playing a commanding game in which they scored three touchdowns and a field goal. The Chiefs’ offense has fallen flat, with Patrick Mahomes getting sacked multiple times, Swift’s boyfriend Travis Kelce missing a catch and the Eagles making several interceptions. In photos from the game posted to X, Swift appeared pensive while watching the game alongside her famous friends, and it’s no wonder why. Swift was seen at one point standing up at her seat on Fox’s broadcast as the clock ticked closer to halftime, with one of the commentators noting that “she hasn’t had much to cheer about yet because Travis Kelce hasn’t caught a ball.” Swift’s appearances on Fox’s broadcast were scant in the first half, a notable change from last year, when she was on hand to watch the Chiefs play the 49ers and was shown on TV frequently. The superstar singer wore a pair of bedazzled blue shorts with white thigh-high boots. She paired the ensemble with a “T” charm necklace, similar to the one she wore at the Grammys last week, according to a video of Swift entering the stadium posted on X by the NFL’s official account. She was joined at the game by her family, rapper Ice Spice and members of the band Haim. Earlier in the game, Swift was shown on the jumbotron inside Caesars Superdome and was met with both cheers and boos from the crowd, though she appeared to shake them off with a smile. Swift has been a fixture at Chiefs games throughout the 2024-2025 season, only missing a handful of games when they conflicted with her scheduled dates during the Eras Tour, which concluded in December. The “Fortnight” singer was in attendance for both the AFC Championship and AFC Divisional games to cheer on Kelce, who is the Chiefs’ all-star tight end. Swift even celebrated with Kelce on the field where the pair shared a kiss after the Chiefs’ AFC Championship win, which sent them to the Super Bowl. The couple have been romantically linked since Swift first attended one of Kelce’s games in September 2023. The pair famously shared a kiss on the field after the Chiefs won the 2024 Super Bowl. Super Bowl LIX marks the Chiefs’ fifth appearance in the big game in six years. If they best the Eagles, the Chiefs will claim their third consecutive Super Bowl win and become the first team to win three titles in a row. Kendrick Lamar, along with SZA, are tapped as the headline performers at the Halftime Show. Singer Jon Batiste will perform the National Anthem.
