Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans made headlines for reasons that had little to do with the actual game, and more to do with the star power of President Donald Trump and pop superstar Taylor Swift. The reactions they received were as revealing as they were entertaining. Trump, the figure that the left has rallied against with the ferocity of a thousand hurricanes, was greeted with cheers that filled the stadium. Swift, on the other hand, was met with a chorus of boos that echoed like a bad remix of one of her songs.
Fresh off an unfortunate Grammy snub, Swift’s presence at the Super Bowl became a spectacle in its own right. While her boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, was busy witnessing a dismal game as the Kansas City Chiefs fell to the Philadelphia Eagles 40-22, Swift was becoming the target of the Eagles’ fans’ collective disdain as she appeared on the big screen. The boos that rained down were a sharp contrast to the cheers Trump was receiving, signifying that the winds of the cultural zeitgeist may have shifted.
Now, Swift might be used to love from her fanbase, but that night, it seemed more like a case of “Shake It Off” gone wrong. Remember the good ol’ days of celebrity adoration? Apparently, they don’t extend far enough for a self-proclaimed “childless cat lady” like her, especially when the audience she faced was not the pop-loving crowd she typically serenades, but rather NFL fans already riled up after a disappointing performance from her boyfriend’s team.
In a twist of fate indicative of today’s political entertainment landscape, Trump’s reception stood in stark contrast. He received roaring applause during the national anthem—an ironic turn considering the NFL’s past of celebrating players kneeling during this very moment. It’s as if the crowd at the Superdome sent a message; one of patriotism is alive and well, even in a league that once turned its back on it.

The Super Bowl Crowd Reactions to Trump and Taylor Swift Tell You Everything You Need to Know About Post-Woke America via @WestJournalism https://t.co/LeYJwr9tsl— 🇺🇸 2A Patriot 🇺🇸 🔫Gettr & Truth @RightSideRon (@RightSideRonUSA) February 10, 2025
As for the state of wokeness at Super Bowl LIX, while fans winced at the musical interludes like Kendrick Lamar’s halftime performance, it became clear that their patience is wearing thin. This woke culture even crept its way into the commercials the viewers were subjected to. One particularly uninspired Bud Light ad tried to make amends for its past partnership blunder with a now-canceled influencer. It seems that the beer brand is now more known for its apologies than its refreshing taste, with sales publicly spiraling downward. They may need more than catchy ads to revitalize a brand drowning in controversy.
All in all, the stark contrast between Trump and Swift at the Super Bowl wasn’t just about celebrity status; it highlighted a larger cultural divide. It revealed the reality that while the mainstream media may attempt to shield the public from the truth, the common folks at a football game have their own voices, and they are not afraid to use them. Cheered or booed, the fate of these two figures says a lot about where America stands today—embracing patriotism and standing against the tide of wokeness. For those paying attention, the Super Bowl served not just as a championship game, but as a cultural battleground where the battle lines have been clearly drawn.
