Patrick Mahomes and Taylor Swift take heat from Eagles fans before Super Bowl start….see more

By now, the Kansas City Chiefs expect to get booed when they take the field. But at Super Bowl LIX, Eagles fans made sure their voices were heard-loudly.

As the Chiefs jogged out for warmups at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, the sound of boos drowned out any cheers from Kansas City fans.

The target? Patrick Mahomes, of course.

But he wasn’t alone.

When Taylor Swift appeared on the jumbotron, the heckling didn’t let up.

Eagles fans don’t hold back, and they didn’t just stop at the reigning Super Bowl MVP.

Swift, in town to support Travis Kelce, got the full Philadelphia treatment-despite, you know, not playing in the game.

If there’s any doubt about how deep this fan base’s passion runs, consider that they were still booing a team that isn’t playing against them today.

For Mahomes and the Chiefs, though, this is nothing new. Over the past few years, they’ve taken the “NFL villain” title and run with it.

They were booed at previous Super Bowls, at last year’s opening ceremony, and even at a 2024 NBA game where Kelce got jeered on the big screen. None of it has fazed them.

Chiefs embrace the villain role
Mahomes has even addressed it head-on.

“I don’t want to say you enjoy it,” he said before Super Bowl LVIII.

“I know the Patriots had that for a while.

I’m hoping we do it in a different way with a little bit more fun and personality with it. But as long as you keep winning, teams start to not like you, and I want to keep winning.”

Defensive tackle Chris Jones doesn’t mind either.

After last year’s AFC Championship win over Baltimore, he fully embraced it: “I like being the villain. It feels good being the villain.”

That’s the thing-teams don’t boo you if you don’t matter.

The Chiefs are closing in on a potential three-peat, and with that kind of success comes a target.

As for Swift? She’s been an unexpected subplot all season, with cameras constantly cutting to her at Chiefs games. Some fans love it.

Others-not so much.

But getting booed at the Super Bowl for simply existing? That’s a new one.

The Chiefs won’t be concerned with the noise.

They’ve been here before, and Mahomes has made it clear-if being the bad guy means more wins, he’s happy to play the part.
