Super Bowl 2025: Taylor Swift booed, Eagles beating the Chiefs, Kendrick Lamar’s halftime, more of the biggest moments

Super Bowl LIX took place at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans

Super Bowl LIX has finally come to an end, and after a nail biting game, we have ourselves a champion!

However, it’s truly about the journey to the destination, as the 2025 game has given us several moments that’ll live on in, at least, internet virality.

From Kendrick Lamar’s halftime show with a pair of surprise guests, to Taylor Swift’s reaction to the Chiefs’ loss, here are the biggest moments from this year’s Super Bowl…

The Philadelphia Eagles cause an upset

The Kansas City Chiefs came into Super Bowl LIX poised to make history, completing a “threepeat” with their third consecutive win and fifth overall.

However, the defending champions were delivered a handy upset by the Philadelphia Eagles, the underdog coming into the game that made the best use of their explosive strategies.

Led by Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley and an impressive defensive lineup, the Eagles maintained an early lead with a pair of touchdowns, and despite the Chiefs coming back in the last quarter, it was too much for them to overcome, ending with a score of 22-40 and taking home their second Super Bowl.

Kendrick Lamar’s star-studded show

Kendrick Lamar brought out several highlights from his discography for his halftime show, including “Humble” and his newly minted Grammy winner “Not Like Us.”

The diss track, largely believed to be aimed at Drake, had its own moment during the show, including a dance break from none other than Serena Williams, who reportedly dated the Canadian rapper briefly in 2011.

Other highlights included an appearance from SZA performing their ethereal collaboration “All the Stars” and Samuel L. Jackson playing “Uncle Sam,” introducing the show and acting as a ringmaster.

Taylor Swift gets booed

Likely the most famous fan in the crowd was Taylor, attending her second Super Bowl in a row to cheer on her boyfriend Travis Kelce and the Chiefs.

However, it wasn’t just the Chiefs’ loss that ended up hitting hard, but also an unexpected reaction from the crowd upon seeing her face on the jumbotron. Watch it below…

The crowd began booing when Taylor’s face popped up, and the confused singer looked to her friend beside her and mouthed: “What’s going on?” clearly embarrassed by the reaction.

The sea of stars

The stars descended upon Caesars Superdome for the big game, as they always do, including introductory segments for each time from two of their most famous fans: the Eagles’ Bradley Cooper and the Chiefs’ Jon Hamm.

Apart from Taylor and the halftime performers, other key attendees this year were Anne Hathaway, Paul Rudd, Paul McCartney, Kevin Costner, Jay-Z and his two daughters and many more.

Of course, Super Bowl time would be remiss without bringing up the many commercials that lit up the screens in the weeks leading up to the game, and on the night.

What’s Next for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce After ‘Upsetting’ Super Bowl: ‘Their Lives Have Been a Whirlwind’ 

The pop star is fresh off the end of the Eras Tour, while Kelce is now done with the NFL season

With the Super Bowl finished and the Eras Tour now in the rearview, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are finally ready for some downtime.

A source tells PEOPLE that the high-profile couple will “have a break together” following the Kansas City Chiefs’ 40-22 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Feb. 9 in New Orleans, which “was upsetting for everyone.”

“Their lives have been a whirlwind since they first started dating,” the insider says. “Things seem great between them, and they’re incredibly happy together.”

Swift, 35, was a fixture at Chiefs games this past season, often bringing her friends and family members along to cheer from a suite at Arrowhead Stadium. The Super Bowl was no exception, as she brought brother Austin, dad Scott, and friends Ice Spice, Ashley Avignone and Este, Danielle and Alana Haim along to Caesars Superdome to root Kelce, 35, on as the Chiefs sought to become the first team in NFL history to ever win three consecutive Super Bowls.

“She truly loves watching Travis play,” the source adds.

Kelce, too, was a fan of watching Swift in her element, as he attended more than a dozen Eras Tour shows — and even joined his girlfriend onstage for a memorable cameo in London.

The “Fortnight” singer wrapped the record-shattering Eras Tour in December after almost two years on the road and nearly 150 shows.

After the Chiefs’ disappointing loss, Kelce’s brother Jason, who retired from the NFL last year after spending his entire career on the Eagles, addressed the loss and its impact on his sibling on X.

“There isn’t a person I love or care about more [than Travis],” he wrote. “It has been tough to process these feelings, of course I feel for him and am always rooting for him, but I know he does not need, nor want my pity. He has amassed greatness few on this planet could ever dream of, as has his team, and they should feel pride in their accomplishments this season and in the past.”

In an interview just one day before the big game, Kelce said he was on cloud nine when asked what he wants in life.

“I think I found it all. I just gotta, you know, keep it all. I absolutely love where I’m at in life,” he told Westwood One Sports. “I’m the happiest I’ve ever been. I’m enjoying coming in to work and what I do for a profession in my career. And I have an unbelievable support of family and friends who are chasing me down here for yet another Super Bowl. I’m just a very fortunate individual and [I’m] trying too take advantage of all the good days I got.”

Meanwhile, his dad Ed Kelce said the star tight end was “very happy” with Swift, and shared that the two were looking forward to spending time together out of the spotlight.

“I think we get past the Super Bowl, I think it’s going to be a very good period for the two of them without the NFL season, with the Eras Tour,” he told Australia’s Today show. “Just them alone, really connecting more. And I think that can only be a good thing.”

Hair Loss Specialist Reveals The Truth About Travis Kelce’s Hair Transplant Rumors After Everyone Noticed Something Fishy During Super Bowl

A hair loss specialist has provided clarity on fan inquiries about Travis Kelce’s hair.

Kansas City @ Philadelphia – NFL Betting Preview Game Betting-preview for February 09, 2025

If you do a simple “Travis Kelce hair” X/Twitter search, you’ll come across fans wondering if he got a hair transplant. The future Hall of Famer and three-time Super Bowl champion donned more hair than usual for Super Bowl 59 against the Philadelphia Eagles.


But hair loss specialist and aesthetician Dr Gizem Seymenoglu, who works at Longevita’s clinic in London, United Kingdom, opines that the 35-year-old Travis Kelce did not actually get a hair transplant.

Dr. Seymenoglu noted that Kelce usually sports a buzzcut, which is why his hair looks awfully different now. She warned, however, that Travis could experience hair loss in the future, citing “noticeable hair loss” for that his father Ed and brother Jason Kelce.

 

“It seems highly unlikely that Travis had any kind of a hair transplant. That’s because he really doesn’t seem to need one — at least not at the moment. Over the years, his hairline has only imperceptibly receded, which can be explained by the maturation of the hairline caused by ageing. There are absolutely no visible signs of hair loss. Since Travis is often seen with a buzzcut, now that he has grown his hair out longer than before, it makes his hair look fuller and, therefore, different.”

Regardless, Kelce is more focused on the Chiefs’ heartbreaking Super Bowl loss than fan speculation about his hair. Kelce had just four catches for 39 yards in the loss to Philly, who denied Kansas City’s bid for a three-peat.

Travis Kelce May Have Played His Final NFL Game

Before Super Bowl 59, it was reported that Kelce had yet to make a decision on his playing future. Kelce showed signs of decline (97 catches for 823 yards and three touchdowns) in the regular season, so he could accept he’s past his best-before date and walk away now.

But a fiery competitor like Kelce may not want his career to end with a humiliating Super Bowl loss, either. So don’t be surprised if he decides to come back for another shot at a fourth ring.

This Day In Lakers History: Kobe Bryant, Newcomer Pau Gasol Combine For 57 Points Against Bobcats

Presse Sports-USA TODAY Sports

Entering the 2007-08 season, the Los Angeles Lakers were considered one of the budding contenders in the Western Conference. Although they had a Kobe Bryant in his prime, the supporting cast around him was missing a key piece for a championship run. However, expectations changed tremendously when the team acquired Pau Gasol.

Gasol provided an All-Star presence to a lineup that was desperately missing another playmaker. Not only could Gasol dominant in the paint, but he also was one of the elite passing big men in the NBA. On Feb. 11, 2008, fans were provided a brief glimpse into the future of the organization.

The Lakers were knee-deep in a lengthy road trip in February, with a 5-2 record up to that point. Gasol was entering just his fifth game with the organization, as they faced off against the Charlotte Bobcats.

These two teams had quite the clashes throughout the 2000s, especially coming off their last meeting in Charlotte that ended in a triple-overtime loss for Los Angeles.

The Lakers received a jolt of optimism in Gasol, while the reeling Bobcats got the news that star Gerald Wallace was out with a lingering injury. Bryant and Gasol combined to knock down their first 11 shots of the game.

However, Charlotte was able to capitalize in the open court, with the Lakers committing 10 first-half turnovers. They still managed to hold a 55-44 lead at halftime.

The Bobcats, in the midst of a six-game losing streak, had to rely on the presence of guard Raymond Felton (29 points) and center Nazr Mohammed (22 points) for their offense. Jason Richardson was thrust into attack mode for his team, but finished the contest shooting a dismal 4-for-14 from the field.

Coming out of halftime, the Bobcats showed signs of life and outscored the Lakers by three points in the third quarter. In fact, they put together a run in the fourth that saw the Lakers lead dwindle down to just three before Bryant took matters into his own hands.

His two jump shots, along with a no-look pass for a Lamar Odom dunk, pushed the lead up to 11 with just a minute remaining. From there, the Lakers would close the door on a 106-97 victory, improving their road trip record to 6-2.

Bryant and Gasol showed a certain intellectual connection in just their fifth game together. Gasol, who was dealing with a cold before the game, stepped up and contributed 26 points on 9-for-11 shooting, along with six assists, six rebounds and two blocks.

It was his second-highest scoring total since joining his new team, a sign of the good things to come as Gasol got more acclimated with Phil Jackson’s triangle offense. Bryant finished with 31 points, four assists, four steals, and two blocks, while going 9-for-17 from the field.

Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol went on to win two championships together

Although they lost in the NBA Finals in their first season together, Bryant and Gasol would go on to win back-to-back championships in 2009 and 2010.

Golf influencer Paige Spiranac calls Taylor Swift boos at Super Bowl LIX ‘lame’

Swift faced boos from Eagles fans in Super Bowl LIX

The Philadelphia Eagles beat the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 in Super Bowl LIX. Nick Wright discusses when he felt doubt about the Chiefs’ chances to three-peat.

Golf influencer Paige Spiranac came to the defense of Taylor Swift on Monday as the pop star was booed when she was shown on the video board during Super Bowl LIX.

Swift was at the game supporting her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, and the Kansas City Chiefs – as she has done for the last two seasons. However, Philadelphia Eagles fans swarmed the city of New Orleans and made their presence felt throughout the game.

Eagles fans booed Chiefs players when they took the field and made their feelings about Swift known in the stadium, though Swift is from West Reading, Pennsylvania, and even sang about being a fan of the guys in green and white.

Spiranac gave her thoughts on the boos towards Swift in a post on X.

“It was reported that the NFL’s brand value has increased almost 1 billion dollars since Taylor Swift started dating Kelce,” she wrote. “The NFL is using her popularity to boost their brand. So booing Taylor Swift is lame. She was just showing up to support her significant other. The amount of times she’s shown at a game or posted on social media is out of her control.”

The Swift effect was real and talked about a lot during the 2023 season, but all of that tailed off a bit in 2024. She was shown fewer times on television than she was when she and Kelce first started dating and was only shown a handful of times during the Super Bowl LIX broadcast.

Tennis great Serena Williams also defended Swift on X.

“I love you @taylorswift13 dont listen to those booo!!” Williams wrote.

Boos or not, Swift will now embark on an entire offseason with Kelce. Last year, she was still in the midst of her “Eras Tour.” This time, she will get a firsthand look at what the tight end will decide to do about his playing career.

Retirement rumors have swirled around Kelce all season. He said Swift gave him the green light to continue playing if he wanted.

“She’s fully encouraging me to enjoy playing this game,” the 10-time Pro Bowler said last month on “The Stephen A. Smith Show,” adding that Swift loves coming to Arrowhead Stadium for games.

“I got all the support in the world to keep chasing these dreams.”

“I’m 89 and flew 5,000 miles to see Taylor Swift in Paris’: Elderly Swiftie Shares Their Emotional Journey to See Taylor Swift in Paris

My granddaughter, Jennifer, and I were visiting my brother in New York when tickets for the second leg of Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour were released in Europe last fall.

It was the middle of the night because of the time difference. But we hit the internet the second they became available. “We’ve got to make this happen,” Jennifer said as we joined the virtual ticket line.

I stayed up for as long as possible before giving up and going to bed. Then, around 3 a.m., Jennifer burst into my room, threw on the lights, and yelled, “Grammy, Grammy — I got the tickets!”

Of course, I jumped out of bed screaming like crazy. It was stupid fun. We jumped up and down. We were going to Paris to see Taylor on May 9, 2024.

I’ve been a Swiftie since September 2009, when I watched the MTV Music Video Awards show at my home in Dallas.

Unfortunately, it was the infamous night that Kanye West jumped onstage, grabbed the microphone, and interrupted her acceptance speech.

At first, I was confused, thinking it was some kind of stunt. Then I realized it wasn’t. “How could he do that to that young, vulnerable, sweet girl? ” I thought.

I felt a connection to Taylor Swift

My last name is Strong, and I live up to it. I don’t like to see people bullied, and I admired how Taylor handled the situation.

The incident triggered my interest. I discovered she’d been born and raised in Reading, Pennsylvania. My husband, Asa, 93, and I lived in Reading during the 1960s — when our five sons were born — so I was very attached to the town.

It was a connection. The more I read about Taylor, the more I liked her. I was impressed that her parents were involved in her career, and she was all about family.

I’ve been blessed with 12 grandchildren, six of them girls. They told me how much they felt inspired by Taylor and related to her as a successful young woman.

We listened to her music together. We loved how she wrote about her own life in her music. She was relatable because she sang about loneliness, break-ups, and pure happiness. People understood her because her life experiences reflected theirs.

When Jennifer asked if I wanted to see Taylor with her in Paris, it was a no-brainer. I’ve run a travel agency for nearly 50 years and have flown worldwide. The only places I haven’t been are The Arctic, Antarctica, and a few countries in South America. I’ll be 90 in August but I can’t slow down.

I’m in love with Europe. After we purchased the Taylor tickets for €190 ($205) each, we booked a week-long vacation in Amsterdam and Paris. We paid for our business class flights with points, but splurged $2K per night on a five star hotel in each city. Five of us went to the concert, including Jennifer, 32, another granddaughter, Brianne Pattison, 36, and my daughter-in-law, Kay Strong, 66.

I was dancing so much, I thought I might tumble over

It was one of the most exciting nights of my life. Taylor has a great work ethic. She came on at 8 p.m. and left at 11 p.m., entertaining us the whole time. How she changed those costumes and showed up in those high boots is beyond me.

My favorite song is “The Man,” followed by “Shake It Off.” I went crazy when they came up. I was up on my feet so much, I was worried I was going to tumble over the seats. The atmosphere was amazing. I loved watching the audience scream their heads off.

As for my outfit, I wore a sparkly top over some pants that I bought from Anthropologie. The top covered up a multiple of sins for an 89-year-old lady. I felt great.

A few days after the show, someone posted an Instagram video of me dancing. You can’t see my face, but the clip went viral. I’m happy that the younger generation knows there are older people like me who love to have fun in their life.

Taylor Swift addresses her fans bluntly, stating the fact that, “You people might not realize the extent of my bond and feelings with Travis Kelce.” There is no other man on earth that can ever replace my true love than the Kansas City Chiefs Travis Kelce. He shows me everything I needed to know about how sweet love is and how much he loves me every minute, and our relationship is unbreakable and forever… The head of the department of communication studies at California State University in Los Angeles sent an email saying, “The eternal enthusiastic in me is saying that the public visualize marriage and want the best for the celebrities.” “The pessimistic in me asserts that fans feel obligated to see all the pictures, “get the measure,” and know everything about celebrities’ lives. The next thing they want to see is Swift and Kelce get tied the knot.”

The speculations peaked just as Kelce was getting ready for the Kansas City Chiefs to win the Super Bowl. Swift is not the first famous person to have encountered enthusiastic admirers eager to tie the knot as quickly as possible.

Both Swift and Kelce are 34 years old, and neither has tied the knot or gotten engaged. However, Swift’s admirers have been there for both her dating and breakups since they first became aware of her romances when she was a teenager.

Taylor Swift has given truck drivers incredible six-figure bonus as tour kicks off in UK

 

Truck drivers are essential for Swift to swiftly take the Eras tour on the road

Liverpool has been transformed into ‘Taylor Town’ as a horde of ravenous Swifties descend on the city to witness their idol’s concerts and soak up the atmosphere.

Taylor Swift last night performed her first gig in Liverpool at Anfield, and she’s got two more shows on the way in the next couple of days.

Not every seat in the stadium is great, but that hasn’t stopped the Swifties from having a great time and Swift acknowledging everyone who showed up.

With that in mind it’s useful to remember the small army of people involved with getting the Eras tour on road and making sure everything is where it ought to be.

Drone footage outside Anfield showed rows of trucks that carry all the equipment Swift needs to set up her stage and the amount is staggering.

Of course, it seems like it’s pretty good work if you can get it, and truck drivers tasked with carting the Eras tour around Europe might be hoping they’re in line for rewards similar to those received by other truckers who’ve worked for Swift.

Last year, it turned out that Swift had given all of the truckers who ferried her show from place to place in the US a stonkingly huge bonus.

If you were a truck driver for the Eras tour then you were in line for a $100,000 (£79,000) bonus as a ‘thank you’ for guaranteeing that the show would go on.

There were a total of 50 drivers involved in the US leg of the tour, and it sounds like other bonuses were paid out to the rest of the crew.

And Swift can afford to be generous as in the US alone her shows have brought in about $1 billion (£783 million) in revenues alone.

It takes a pretty hefty logistical effort to cart all of Swift’s gear around. (Steve Gonzales/Houston Chronicle via Getty Images)

Swift certainly had reason to thank her security as they’ve been pretty responsive to her mid-song requests to get help for various members of the audience that need it.

Last night (13 June) Swift explained to her fans a system she’s got with security for communicating how a situation with a stricken fan is going.

“We got help. So when you see that there’s like, one of our guys has them, you see that green there? That means they have got to them, which is good,” she told her Anfield audience.

If you’re ever at a Taylor Swift concert and see a member of security holding up a green glowstick it means they’ve reached the person who’s been spotted as needing a helping hand.

Jon Bon Jovi hails Taylor Swift, calls her ‘absolutely incredible’

Jon Bon Jovi credits Taylor Swift for creating a music industry

Jon Bon Jovi dubs Taylor Swift as ‘absolutely incredible’

 

Jon Bon Jovi showered Taylor Swift with accolades, hailing her as “absolutely incredible.”

The legendary rocker, 62, in a recent interview with Variety, praised Swift’s impressive career, stating that she has single-handedly “created an industry.”

Bon Jovi’s glowing endorsement of the 14-time Grammy winner highlights the Bad Blood singer’s immense impact on the music industry.

“She utilised what she does best,” Bon Jovi explained, emphasising how Swift, 34, has always stayed true to her roots.

“She sings like Taylor Swift. She plays guitar like Taylor Swift,” the musician— sounding almost like he was quoting her Tortured Poets Department song Clara Bow — added.

“She’s not trying to be something that she’s not, and it is connected with an audience that is unique.”

 

For many years, Swift and Bon Jovi were considered colleagues in the field.

Swift joined the Runaway rocker on stage during his 2013 rendition of Livin’ on a Prayer at Kensington Palace, and Prince William accompanied her right up.

In an earlier interview with The Independent, Bon Jovi credited Swift with initiating the impromptu on-stage collaboration, revealing that she took charge and led the way.

He recalled how Swift “grabbed [him] by the arm” and rushed onto the stage, with both of them seamlessly singing along to the lyrics.

Bon Jovi has frequently praised Swift in recent interviews, including while promoting his Hulu docuseries, Thank You, Goodnight.
