Taylor Swift’s reaction to getting booed at Super Bowl 2025: Experts’ views

Taylor Swift was in shock after she was booed by Super Bowl fans at Ceasars Superdrome in New Orleans on February 9.

The songstress attended the event to show support to her NFL star boyfriend Travis Kelce, who plays for the Kansas City Chiefs and it was up against Philadelphia Eagles in the game.

As soon as Taylor was appeared up on the jumbotron, the crowd started booing and she was able to “laugh off” the brutal reaction to her appearance at the event.

Body language expert Judi James weighed in on the singer’s response, as she spoke to Mirror UK, “Taylor seemed to be copying the iconic Ryan Gosling’s side-eye gesture at the Critic’s Choice Awards here, with her ‘What?’ ritual of distrust, shock and bewilderment.”

However, Judi mentioned, “Where Ryan had just won an award, Taylor had just been booed on the Jumbotron, straight after Trump got cheers.”

The expert praised Taylor for taking the crowd’s response in “good spirits,” as she retained her “seated body pose next to pal Ice Spice and not throwing any hint of a diva strop”.

“She managed to smile and subtly laugh it off, but this is not quite her first rodeo as she did get the odd boo when she was first dating Travis and the fans were worried, she’d put him off his game,” noted Judi.

Reflecting on Taylor’s response, another body language expert Darren Stanton told TYLA, “At the point the crowd starts booing, Taylor’s eyes open wide. Initially, we see a combination of shock, disbelief and feeling pretty embarrassed.”

“She tries to laugh it off but it’s clearly caught her off guard and hit a nerve,” added a second expert.
