NEW DELHI:
Taylor Swift
became the center of attention at
Super Bowl LVIII
when she was captured on the video board at
Allegiant Stadium
enthusiastically chugging her drink and placing her cup down emphatically. This moment, broadcast during the game, led to a viral reaction across social media platforms, particularly on X.
Swift, who had traveled from California to Las Vegas just before the game started to support her boyfriend,
Travis Kelce
, had recently returned from Japan where she was on her Eras Tour.
Having started dating Travis Kelce early in the NFL season, Swift journeyed over nine time zones and the international date line from Japan, after concluding a four-night stint at the Tokyo Dome, reaching Las Vegas roughly two hours before the game began. This logistical feat was made possible due to the time difference, enabling her to land in Los Angeles before making the short trip to Las Vegas.
Swift made her way from her final concert at the Tokyo Dome directly to Allegiant Stadium, arriving alongside
Blake Lively
, Ice Spice, and her mother, Andrea Swift, navigating through security checks. Adding to the star-studded scene, Lana Del Rey joined the group in the suite, just in time for Usher's energetic halftime performance.
As per a Fox News report, social media users and celebrities alike commented on the event, highlighting its unexpected nature and Swift's spirited participation. PrizePicks on X remarked, “didn’t see this on the bingo card for today,” capturing the surprise of many fans. Discussions and jokes about Swift's chugging skills compared to other celebrities like
Aaron Rodgers
and
Jason Kelce
also surfaced, with comments ranging from admiration to playful critiques of her technique.
For the occasion, Swift chose a chic ensemble featuring a black outfit with a striking red jacket casually draped over one shoulder, echoing the fashion choices of Kelce and other notable Chiefs members. This fashion choice subtly nods to Swift's hit song "Anti-Hero," the prominent single from her acclaimed album "Midnights," underscoring the thematic connection between her music and the day's events.
