President Trump wasn’t ready to shake it off Monday.
The commander in chief took a jab at pop superstar Taylor Swift while honoring the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles at the White House.
Trump, 78, became the first sitting president to attend the big game when he, Swift and 65,717 others watched the Eagles blow out the Kansas City Chiefs, 40-22, ending the Chiefs’ dream of becoming the first back-to-back-to-back Super Bowl champions.
“It was incredible. A little surprising,” the president said of the blowout win.
“I was there along with Taylor Swift,” Trump added before asking rhetorically: “How did that one work out?”
The “You Belong With Me” singer, who is in a high-profile relationship with star Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, was loudly booed — to her apparent surprise — when she was shown on the big screen during the game.
Moments earlier, Trump was greeted with applause and cheers when he was shown during the pregame performance of “The Star-Spangled Banner.”
The blowout loss capped off a rough few months for objects of Swift’s affection. The “Bad Blood” crooner endorsed then-Vice President Kamala Harris against Trump in the 2024 election, having backed Joe Biden four years earlier.
The president took a poke at Swift on social media right after the game, writing on Truth Social: “The only one that had a tougher night than the Kansas City Chiefs was Taylor Swift. She got BOOED out of the Stadium.
“MAGA is very unforgiving!”
In an ironic twist, Swift was born and spent her early years in the Philadelphia area before moving to Nashville with her family as a teenager to find music fame and fortune.
