Topics: Super Bowl, Taylor Swift, Donald Trump, Celebrity
Super Bowl viewers were left stunned after picking up on the huge contrast between the crowd's reaction to two key celebs.
The sporting event is known to attract ALL the A-listers, and this year was no exception.
Along with the likes of Bradley Cooper and Pete Davidson, we also saw Taylor Swift cheering on her beau Travis Kelce.

After she took to her seat, cameras cut to show Swift on the big screen as she watched the game, at which point a chorus of boos could be heard from the crowd.
When President Donald Trump was spotted, however, there seemed to be rapturous cheering.
The President later responded by sharing a social media post that said: "Trump gets massive cheers at the Super Bowl while Taylor Swift gets booed.
"The world is healing!"
Posting on Truth Social, he also shared two clips of the contrasting crowd reactions - something that many others had also picked up on.
“Trump gets applause and Taylor Swift gets boos??” one wrote on X in shock.
“Americans are something else…”
Someone else echoed: “The crowd booing Taylor and cheering Trump yet we’re supposed to believe the masses hate her because of woke reasons and not plain misogyny.”
On the flipside, someone who was a little happier with the outcome commented: "I'm hearing they boo'd Taylor Swift at the #SuperBowl and cheered LOUDLY for Trump. God, I love life."
NFL fans have previously expressed their frustration at Swift attending Chiefs games, claiming the attention she inevitably gets often takes away from the sport itself.
But many people reckon that, on this occasion, the adverse reaction may have been down to something else entirely.
Sharing their theory, one tweeted: "Everyone right now 'the crowd boos Taylor Swift!!?' Guys.. the crowd is 80% eagles fans. Of course they booed Taylor.
"Don’t worry, our girl is loved deeply, and she knows it."
Someone else joked: "Congrats, @Eagles fans. Taylor Swift about to write a song about getting booed by you."
Another also put it down to the 'Eagles-heavy crowd', while a fourth added: "Holy s**t - Taylor Swift was just on the big screen and was aggressively booed. That’s how loud these eagles fans are rn."

One person also came to her defence, pointing out the irony of the booing if it really did come predominantly from Eagles fans.
"If it’s eagles fans booing, she’s from Philly area and was a life long eagles fan…" they said - a nod to the fact that Swift's dad Scott is famously a huge Eagles supporter.
Thankfully, Swift didn't seem too bothered by the booing, initially looking slightly confused before flashing a quick smirk and giving a side-eye.
After spotting the incredible moment unfold, one fan tweeted: "Taylor Swift shown on the jumbotron for the first time and HEAVILY booed. She gave a little side eye in response."
Someone else said: "Taylor's face says it all!"
