In February, the Philadelphia Eagles became Super Bowl champions after defeating the Kansas City Chiefs with a score of 40 to 22. The city celebrated with chaos and parades and a few members of the team celebrated with a visit to the White House, where Donald Trump somehow managed to make their championship victory all about Taylor Swift.

“It was an incredible game. A little surprising, but right from the beginning of the first quarter of the big game, which I was there I watched in person,” Trumps said. “I was there along with Taylor Swift, how did that work out? How did that one work out?” Swift attended the game in support of Travis Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs player she has been dating for nearly two years.

Trump has a long history of taunting Swift, who used her platform to endorse Joe Biden in 2020 and Kamala Harris in 2024 after expressing regret about not endorsing a candidate in the 2016 presidential election. After the Super Bowl, he took to Truth Social to write: “The only one who had a tougher night than the Kansas City Chiefs was Taylor Swift. She got BOOED out of the Stadium. MAGA is very unforgiving.”

Trump had previously shown support for the Chiefs, which made his response to their loss even more bizarre. But more than that, it made him a hypocrite. Per Reuters, the crowd at Caesars Superdome greeted him with “a mix of cheers and boos” when he entered the stadium, becoming the first sitting president to do so, despite a complicated relationship with the National Football League. Swift herself received a version of the same mixture when she was shown on the Jumbotron. However, Trump attempted to skew perception of their respective reactions by sharing side-by-side videos that showed people cheering for him but booing Swift with no caption.

Trump focusing on Swift as though she were on the field herself could be a deflection from a number of Eagles players who actually were in the game, skipping the White House visit. Last week, when star quarterback Jalen Hurts was asked whether he planned to attend, he offered the reporter an awkward “um,” followed by a prolonged silence and a swift exit. He ultimately didn’t show up. Several other players missed the visit, too, citing scheduling conflicts, per the NFL.

Trump previously said he would extend an invitation for the Chiefs to visit following the Eagles to make up for 2020, when they won the Super Bowl but were unable to visit due to Covid restrictions.
