Taylor Swift may have been the Kansas City Chiefs' "lucky charm," but she found herself at the center of jokes as Philadelphia Eagles fans fired brutal remarks at the pop star.
As the highly anticipated Super Bowl LIX approaches, fans of both teams are closely following the build-up to the game. From game predictions to the list of attendees, supporters are eager to see how the event will unfold.
Just days before the big day, the "Bad Blood" singer became the target of a nasty joke from Eagles fans.
A post on X went viral, showing a photo of Eagles merchandise that featured a shirt with the pop star’s name and which reads “[expletive] Taylor Swift,” along with the team’s logo.
Amid the harsh jokes targeting the pop star, the move sparked mixed reactions from fans.
Many internet users are calling out the poor behavior displayed by Eagles fans.
“There's no place in sports to put her on TV constantly. We don't give a [expletive] about Swift, yet we are forced to see her every game. There’s so much room for this in sports,” a social media user wrote.
“This is weak,” a commenter said.
“This isn’t in sports. This is in fandom. Learn the difference between the two,” one wrote.
As for others, some people online defended the Eagles fans' behavior, insisting it wasn't personal.
“Nothing wrong with this. Freedom of speech,” one fan argued.
“No, there's always a place for this in sports,” another chimed in.
The same goes for a fan who wrote, “Dude... This is mild in comparison to some fans' behaviors.”
A fan also pointed out how the NFL gave Swift airtime during the Chiefs game, saying, “There's no place in sports to put her on TV constantly. We don't give a [expletive] about Swift, yet we are forced to see her every game.”
