Actually, the victory for the Kansas City Chiefs and the outstanding performance of the R&B singer Ushers in the halftime show of the 58th Super Bowl should be enough. The secret star of the evening, however, was pop singer Taylor Swift. She didn’t even make an appearance.
Pop star Taylor Swift actually did nothing more than watch the final game of the American professional football league NFL from a box in Allegiant Stadium and cheer on her boyfriend Travis Kelce, player of the Kansas City Chiefs – and yet she was the secret star of the evening. The television cameras repeatedly panned to Swift, who was accompanied by several celebrity friends, including actress Blake Lively and rapper Ice Spice. It wasn’t even clear whether she would even make it to the game in time: on Saturday evening she played the last concert of her “Eras” tour in Asia in Japan. On Sunday afternoon the starting whistle sounded for the grand finale of the American football season. To arrive on time, Swift had to travel almost 9,000 kilometers. You can read about what made her successful here.
Taylor Swift jumped up and down in the stands and a short time later gave Travis Kelce a kiss on the lawn. The pop superstar celebrated her boyfriend’s Super Bowl triumph with the Kansas City Chiefs in the focus of the cameras. After the defending champions beat the San Francisco 49ers 25:22 after overtime, the 34-year-old came onto the field at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas alongside Kelce’s mother Donna. The dream couple Swift and Kelce celebrated the Chiefs’ victory in the National Football League final with several warm hugs.

Taylor Swift won’t be intimidated
Previously, Swift not only received cheers from the audience. At times she was even booed. The pop star left that alone: Swift then emptied the drink cup she was holding in her hand in one go and then slammed it on the table in front of her. Swift had previously been shown on screen.
Among the 60,000 spectators in the arena were Beyoncé, Jay-Z and basketball star LeBron James. The dimensions of the Super Bowl are gigantic and the impact was made even stronger this year by the presence of Taylor Swift. Last year, 115.1 million television viewers watched the match. According to the US Betting Office Association, this time 67.8 million people bet a total of 23.1 billion US dollars (the equivalent of around 21.42 billion euros).
