Golf influencer Paige Spiranac emerged as an unexpected advocate for Taylor Swift after the pop icon was met with boos from Eagles fans during Super Bowl LIX.

Despite Swift’s worldwide popularity, her presence at the Super Bowl triggered a negative reaction from a section of Eagles fans. The singer was seen alongside Ice Spice in a suite during the Chiefs’ 40-22 loss, and when the camera focused on her, the hostile reception was evident.

Spiranac, a well-known figure in the sports world, took to social media to voice her disapproval of the crowd’s behavior. She highlighted Swift’s significant impact on the NFL, particularly in terms of financial growth. “It was reported that the NFL’s brand value has increased almost $1 billion since Taylor Swift started dating Kelce. The NFL is using her popularity to boost their brand. So booing Taylor Swift is lame,” Spiranac posted while sharing footage of the incident.

She further defended Swift by pointing out that the singer has no control over how often she is shown during games. “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.”

While Swift maintained her composure, sources later revealed that Kelce was deeply affected by the incident. “Travis was aware of Taylor getting booed and he felt helpless. Seeing the look on her face got to him. He always protects her and it broke his heart,” a source told the Daily Mail.
