US President Donald trolled Taylor Swift on social media after the pop star was booed during Super Bowl LIX on Sunday (Feb 9). Ms Swift was attending the championship match, involving Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana when she was shown on the Jumbotron.
Reacting to the booing, President Trump took to his Truth Social handle and claimed that his legion of supporters, the MAGA (Make America Great Again) fanboys could be “unforgiving”.
“The only one that had a tougher night than the Kansas City Chiefs was Taylor Swift. She got BOOED out of the Stadium. MAGA is very unforgiving!” Mr Trump wrote.
The Republican leader reposted a Conservative account that compared video clips of the president and daughter Ivanka Trump receiving applause while the Ms Swift getting jeered.
“Trump gets massive cheers at the Super Bowl while Taylor Swift gets booed. – The world is healing!” read the post.
Mr Trump has had a long-standing beef with Ms Swift after the latter endorsed Kamala Harris in the presidential run-in. Days after the endorsement, Mr Trump took to social media and claimed: “I hate Taylor Swift”.
Mr Trump made history on Sunday as he became the first sitting president in US history to attend the marquee event, while Ms Swift also went to last year’s game to support her boyfriend Traviss Kelce, the Chiefs’ tight end, in their win against the San Francisco 49ers.
