Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel recently responded to former President Donald Trump’s comments about Taylor Swift being booed at Super Bowl LIX. During the game, Swift, attending to support her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, was shown on the stadium’s video board and received boos from the predominantly Philadelphia Eagles fanbase. Trump later remarked 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 his monologue, Kimmel refuted Trump’s claim, stating, “She didn’t get booed out of the stadium. Unlike you, she stayed for the whole game. And it was Eagles fans who were booing her. But you’re right, it’s all about you.” He further suggested that Trump might be “jealous” of Swift’s popularity and success.
This exchange highlights the ongoing tensions between Trump and Swift, which have been evident since Swift publicly endorsed Democratic candidates in 2018. Their differing political views have led to several public disagreements over the years.

“Well, she didn’t get booed out of the stadium. Unlike you… Trump’s just jealous of Taylor Swift because she has more followers and more money and no kids than he does”
