Donald Trump Admits He Supported Eagles Over Chiefs Due to Taylor Swift’s Actions at Super Bowl

In a surprising admission that blends pop culture with politics, former President Donald Trump revealed during a recent interview that his support for the Philadelphia Eagles over the Kansas City Chiefs during last year’s Super Bowl was influenced by Taylor Swift’s presence and actions at the game.

During an appearance on a conservative talk show, Trump was asked about his Super Bowl pick, and the former president did not hesitate to share his reasoning.

“I liked the Eagles that night,” Trump said. “Not because I don’t like Patrick Mahomes—he’s terrific—but Taylor Swift, she’s out there waving, celebrating, and acting like it’s a political rally for the Democrats. I didn’t like it, and I didn’t want her team to win.”

Swift, who is dating Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, was a prominent figure throughout the 2024 NFL season. Her appearances at Chiefs games drew significant media attention, often leading to increased viewership. At the Super Bowl, held in Las Vegas, Swift was seen enthusiastically cheering for the Chiefs and celebrating their dramatic win, sparking reactions from both fans and critics.

Trump’s comments mark a continuation of the friction between the pop star and the former president. Swift has been vocal about her political views in recent years, endorsing Democratic candidates and urging young Americans to vote—a stance that hasn’t sat well with the MAGA base.

> “When someone turns a football game into a campaign event, it’s hard to enjoy it,” Trump added. “I just thought, let the Eagles have it. Kansas City already had Taylor.”

Political analysts were quick to dissect Trump’s remarks, noting how they underscore the increasing crossover between celebrity culture and political influence.

“Trump understands the power of cultural figures like Swift, and he’s clearly trying to draw a line between her popularity and what he views as a liberal agenda,” said Dr. Marcia Levin, a political strategist and media analyst. “It’s a play to energize his base by targeting someone they perceive as emblematic of elite, progressive Hollywood.”

Social media erupted following Trump’s comments, with hashtags like #TrumpVsSwift and #SwiftEffect trending across platforms. Swift has not responded publicly to the remarks.

As the 2024 election aftermath continues to play out and Trump positions himself for influence in upcoming political cycles, even Super Bowl allegiances are not immune to America’s culture wars.
