The boos from Eagles fans were likely due to Swift's association with the Chiefs, who were competing against the Eagles in the Super Bowl.
For her appearance at the game, Swift donned a crisp white blazer paired with a white tank top and white over-the-knee boots. Her ensemble also featured subtle Easter eggs, such as a reimagined 'T' chain necklace, which she had first worn as a garter at the Grammys.
Serena Williams surprise appearance at the Halftime show
Kendrick Lamar's performance at the Super Bowl LIX's Halftime is everyone is talking about, and for good reason. Lamar invited his fellow Compton, California, native Serena Williams to the stage for an incredibly viral moment during the song "Not like us" a diss-track against Drake.
While Samuel L. Jackson and SZA were among the other guests during Lamar’s performance, Serena’s presence became a notable moment, with fans online speculating that it was a subtle jab at Drake, the subject of the diss track “Not Like Us.” Reports claim Drake and Serena briefly dated in 2015, and the rapper later revealed that his 2016 hit "Too Good" was inspired by their relationship.
