Donald Trump got in a dig at Taylor Swift after he was cheered and she was jeered at Super Bowl 59 after hopping off the Kansas City Chiefs bandwagon to leave early.
The president was roundly applauded as he strolled the sidelines and was shown in a booth with the rich and powerful at America’s biggest sporting event.
Conversely, Swift was left stunned after being met with emphatic booing at the Caesars Superdome when she appeared on the jumbotron for the first time on Sunday night.
Trump took advantage, posting side-by-side clips of their respective ovations to Truth Social.
He posted it again, quoting the infamous LibsofTikTok account, who celebrated the development.
She wrote: ‘Trump gets massive cheers at the Super Bowl while Taylor Swift gets booed – The world is healing!’
The president and Swift have feuded for years, with the superstar singer having endorsed both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris over Trump in the past two elections.
Trump apparently had given up on his prediction that the Chiefs would beat the Eagles, leaving shortly after halftime.

His departure after the break was expected, however. Mahomes´ mother, brother and sister posed for a photo with Trump in his suite before he left.
In September, Trump said he hates Taylor Swift after the pop star endorsed Harris.
‘I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!’ the former president lamented on his social media website Truth Social on Sunday.
It comes just five days after Swift said in a lengthy Instagram post that she would be voting for Harris in November. However, she did not attack or call out Trump personally.
She also encouraged her millions of followers to do their research on the election and register to vote with a link she shared of vote.gov on her Instagram story sharing her grid post.
Trump and Swift were nominally on the same side Sunday, however, as he had predicted that the Chiefs will win their third straight Super Bowl on Sunday.
He praised the team’s quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany, claiming that he had their support in his 2024 presidential bid.
‘I hate to do it,’ Trump said of guessing whether the Chiefs or the Philadelphia Eagles would win Super Bowl 59.

‘I guess you have to say that when a quarterback wins as much as he’s won – I have to go with Kansas City,’ the president told Fox News Bret Baier in clips played ahead of the big game. ‘At the same time, Philadelphia is fantastic, it’s going to be just a great game.’
Trump went on to praise Mahomes and his wife, who are widely popular but who are rumored to be Trump fans.
The president sent crowds wild tonight as he took to the field and made history as the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl game.
He strode onto the field with his daughter Ivanka and son Eric to shake hands with players and local cops before kickoff at the New Orleans Superdome.
The president posed for photos with family members of victims in the New Year’s Eve ISIS attack on Bourbon Street and emergency responders and waved to the cheering crowd.
Trump was also spotted shaking hands with Kansas City Chiefs defensive lineman Chris Jones, one of the many three-time Super Bowl winners hoping to make it four against the Philadelphia Eagles.
The president then headed up to his seats and mingled with Benson and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.
Trump, who was inaugurated just three weeks ago after his seismic election victory, was attending as a fan of the Chiefs.
In an interview that aired just hours before the game, Trump praised the team’s quarterback Patrick Mahomes – a MAGA supporter. It comes after the Eagles in 2018 refused to attend Trump’s White House following their Super Bowl win.
