Super Bowl Sunday is usually about touchdowns, game-winning plays, and championship glory. But this year, many fans are threatening to tune out—not because of the teams on the field, but because of one pop superstar in the stands.
Details about Super Bowl 2025 are starting to surface, thanks to Jason Kelce’s recent interview with People. In the chat, he confirmed that Taylor Swift will be attending the Super Bowl in New Orleans.The celebrated singer will be there to cheer on her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, and the Kansas City Chiefs as they face off against the Philadelphia Eagles.
When asked if the event would be a family affair, Jason shared that Travis’ support squad would be in full force. “Yeah, I think everybody’s coming in,” Jason said, before listing a few names. “I mean, I don’t want to speak for everybody, but obviously, our whole family. I believe, obviously Trav and Taylor, and his family and his friends,” he added with a smile.
However, Jason’s mention of Taylor attending the game has sparked mixed reactions from fans and viewers of the Super Bowl. Some are excited, while others are less than thrilled.
Many have taken to social media to voice their frustrations, and the responses are divided. One Reddit user expressed hesitation, saying they were “tempted to not watch it” because the Super Bowl has become too predictable. They criticized the Chiefs’ dominance and the frequent camera cuts to Taylor in her luxury box, calling it “really old.”

Another user bluntly said, “Not watching. They will be cutting to Taylor Swift’s reaction on the game every 39 seconds…” Meanwhile, one more person simply stated, “The Taylor effect has really ruined it.”
The complaints continued to flood in. One Redditor predicted the game would unfold as usual, and that Patrick Mahomes was “gonna whine and cry and flop” with referees making controversial calls. They also anticipated the post-game selfies with Patrick, Travis, and Taylor.Another fan lamented how the Super Bowl’s commercialized nature was pushing them away from football entirely, calling it “disappointing” to watch the sport transform this way. They also felt that Taylor was stealing the spotlight from Travis’ performance on the field.
The wave of frustration from fans continued with many expressing their disinterest in watching the upcoming Super Bowl. One user dismissed the game entirely, saying, “Yeah, it’s a no for me,” and accused the NFL of doing everything possible to favor the Chiefs and Mahomes.
They acknowledged that football is a business but argued that it “shouldn’t be a narrative one,” especially with Taylor now in the mix.
Others echoed similar sentiments. One fan described Chiefs games as painfully predictable. The person claimed they either dominated outright or made a late comeback with the help of controversial calls. “Rinse, repeat,” they added, saying it’s no longer worth watching.Some believe the outcome was set long ago. A Redditor remarked that they knew the Chiefs would win this year’s Super Bowl as early as last year when discussions about a historic three-peat began. “I should have put money on it,” they admitted.
For a few, skipping the game is an easy decision. One person said they’d rather “watch the Puppy Bowl,” while another called it an”easy skip” because they can’t stand either team.
