Taylor Swift received a lot of attention when she arrived at the stadium. But not all Super Bowl fans were happy about her presence.
Numerous spectators were waiting for her arrival at the stadium: pop superstar Taylor Swift watched Super Bowl LVIII live in Las Vegas. A good two hours before the start of the football game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers, the NFL published a video of the 34-year-old on X: “Taylor Swift is here with Ice Spice and Blake Lively,” the video said. Like Taylor Swift, Ice Spice is a musician, Lively is an actress and model.
American football reporter Jori Epstein reported on Swift’s arrival on X. Accordingly, numerous other VIP guests had to wait when the 34-year-old got out of the tunnel into the elevator to go to her box. A “strict lockdown” was ordered by the security service and cell phones and video recordings were banned, Epstein wrote.
Necklace as a good luck charm and token of love
Swift has been dating Chiefs pro Travis Kelce for several months. When the pop singer was shown on the big screen after her arrival, many of those present in the stadium booed. At Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, the 49ers supporters had the upper hand acoustically. Swift then downed the drink cup she was holding in one go and slammed it on the table in front of her.
Swift wore dark pants and a dark top. She also wore a red jacket over her shoulder. She had her hair tied in a loose ponytail and her lips were painted bright red. A romantic detail was also visible on the big screen: Swift wore a necklace with the number 87, her boyfriend’s jersey number, around her neck.
The 34-year-old has attended numerous Chiefs games at the stadium since her relationship with Kelce began, bringing a lot of attention to the National Football League. Many of Swift’s millions of fans watch NFL games. According to one study, the artist has brought the league and the Chiefs a marketing equivalent of $331 million since September.
Whether Swift would make it to Las Vegas in time for Super Bowl LVIII has been a big topic since the Chiefs qualified for the Finals. She played a concert in Tokyo on Saturday evening. Because of the big time difference and with the help of a private jet, she had already arrived in Los Angeles on Saturday. From there it is about a 70-minute flight to the gambling metropolis in the US state of Nevada.
