Saquon Barkley is busy celebrating his Super Bowl victory from 2025 with the Philadelphia Eagles, but he doesn’t feel so festive about the way some supporters of his team have treated Taylor Swift on the big game at the weekend.
During a SiriusXM interview with Howard Stern on Wednesday (12 February), the superstar criticized the way in which some Eagles fans openly and loudly lasted the “Fortnight” singer in Caesars Superdome in New Orleans three days earlier. ‘I remember showing them [Swift] On the Jumbotron and she was booed, “Barkley told the radio presenter.
“I don’t get it,” the first time super bowl champion continued. “I don’t understand why she was hated there. She supports her important others there and she has made the game bigger. … I don’t get the play she gets. ”
As Barkley noted, Swift was just present on Sunday to encourage friend Travis Kelce and the Chiefs of Kansas City, who eventually lost 40-22 against the Eagles. That did not prevent some Eagles fans from meeting her with a choir of angry when her face was shown at one point on the large screens of the stadium, something where the 14-time Grammy winner just silent winner and laughed at this moment to.
Shortly thereafter, both Serena Williams – who was also in the game to make a cameo in the rest time performance of Kendrick Lamar – and Flavour Flav came online to the defense of Swift. “I love you @taylorswift13 don’t listen to that booo !!” The tennis champion wrote that day on X, while the public enemy rapper encouraged Bluesky, “just shake it off.”
Jimmy Kimmel also jumped in later to defend Swift after Donald Trump taunts the musician with a post about the social lecture of the truth: “The only one who had a more difficult night than Kansas City’s chief was Taylor Swift. She was booed from the stadium. Maga is very ruthless! “
“She was not boeld from the stadium,” reprimanded the talk show host Jimmy Kimmel Live! Monday (February 10). “In contrast to you, she stayed for the entire game – and it was the Eagles fans who were cheering her. But you are right, it’s all about you. “
