Serena Williams made her feelings clear after Taylor Swift was booed at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on Sunday (9 February) for Super Bowl 59.
The Philadelphia Eagles shattered the dreams of the Kansas City Chiefs becoming three-time Super Bowl champions last night as they dominated with a score of 40-22.
Congratulations to the Eagles but as with every Super Bowl, the game is merely secondary to celebrity sightings and the halftime show that follows.
Performing at this year's game was Kendrick Lamar, impressing fans with his poignant storytelling, shocking them with the fact Not Like Us actually made it to the set list and distracting fans with his fashion choices.

Someone fans weren't expecting to make an appearance during Lamar's halftime performance was Serena Williams, as she crip walked to 'Not Like Us' and gagged fans everywhere.
Someone fans were expecting to be in attendance at the Super Bowl was Taylor Swift, as her boyfriend Travis Kelce is the Chief's tight end.
Taylor making appearances at Travis's games has become kind of their thing, with people on social media joking all last year that they only got into football because of Swift. However, it looks like the novelty of the 'Blank Space' singer showing up at the games has worn of as this time around, she was savagely booed by those in attendance.
Visibly looking uncomfortable and shocked by the not-so warm welcome, Swift said: "Wait...what is going on?", according to a lip reader.
And, according to a source close to Kelce, he wasn't too happy either as they told the Mail: "Travis was aware of Taylor getting booed and he felt helpless. Seeing the look on her face got to him.
"He always protects her and it broke his heart. He was already having a tough night and the fact that the stadium was predominantly Eagles fans didn't help. Travis knows that this hurt her and anyone can see this."
Well, fear not Kelce as it looks like Williams' also has Swift's back, as she tweeted: ""I love you @taylorswift13 dont listen to those booo!!"
Swift has yet to comment on the situation but an expert has revealed her micro aggressions show how she really feels.
Annie Särnblad took to Instagram earlier today (10 February) to share her verdict on Taylor's response.
"I feel like there's even just a little lift of the squeezing of the skin next to the nose and a deepening of the nasal labial furrow, which we see in disgust, or in this case, discomfort."
"We then see Taylor Swift smile. This happy expression is clearly on purpose. It is conscious, and she is smiling despite the booing, because, hey, her team and her man are at the Super Bowl, and so is she."
