The singer, 35, was at New Orleans’ Caesars Superdome to cheer on her boyfriend, as the Kansas City Chiefs took on the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX.
But despite selling out stadiums of her own, Taylor appeared to get less than a warm welcome from the 75,000-strong attendees when she was shown on the jumbotron.
A clip soon went viral showing the 'Reputation' singer looking around awkwardly as the crowd erupted into boos and jeers when her face popped up on the screen.
See the moment below:Lip readers worked out that Taylor appeared to mouth "What is going on?" to rapper Ice Spice, who accompanied her to the game as the Kansas City Chiefs lost against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Well, fans believe they know the reason why - and it's all to do with the opposing team.
They took to Twitter to explain: "Eagles fans are booing her. She’s originally from Philly area but obviously rooting for Travis and chiefs."
Others added: "The worst part is she’s a Philly girl. It just doesn’t make sense. You can cheer for the Eagles and not boo her. Both of those things can happen simultaneously like I don’t get it."
President Donald Trump was also in attendance and got quite a different reaction from the crowd with loud cheers heard from the crowd as he became the first sitting US President to attend the Super Bowl.
He also took to social media to gloat about the way he was received versus the singer, writing on Truth Social: “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!”
Along with his post, Trump shared two videos — one showing himself being cheered at the game, and another capturing the moment Swift was booed when she appeared on the jumbotron.

He also reposted another post, which read: “Trump gets massive cheers at the Super Bowl while Taylor Swift gets booed – the world is healing.”
It comes after Taylor publicly endorsed Kamala Harris for president when she was in the running against Trump during the last election.
