During the recent Super Bowl festivities, there was a behind-the-scenes shuffle involving high-profile celebrities Taylor Swift and Kanye West. At the Allegiant Stadium, the scene of the Super Bowl’s dramatic finish, an incident relating to seat assignments unfolded according to comments made by ex-NFL athlete Brandon Marshall.
“Taylor Swift gets p****d off. She boom boom makes a call or two. Everybody’s involved. He gets kicked out the stadium,” Marshall said on the I AM ATHLETE podcast. “He was trying to leverage her celebrity.”
Swift, a renowned pop singer and the partner of Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce, was present to support her beau as his team achieved a nail-biting victory over the San Francisco 49ers with a final score of 25-22 in overtime. The 34-year-old singer’s presence is a common sight at NFL games, often capturing the camera’s focus while in her VIP seating area.
However, details arose about West’s purported attempts to be conspicuously seated in proximity to Swift, which would have been a notable arrangement given their well-documented history of public friction. Marshall suggests that West had procured seats intentionally in front of Swift’s luxury box.
Outcomes of the reported seating debacle have not been publicly detailed, and representatives for both West and Swift have not provided official statements on the matter. Attendees at the event enjoyed a thrilling game alongside a spectrum of entertainment, but it would appear there was just as much drama among some notable figures off the field.
