Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley expresses confusion over the boos Taylor Swift received from fans at Super Bowl LIX, where she was supporting her boyfriend Travis Kelce. Barkley argues that Swift's presence helps expand the game's international reach and doesn't understand the negativity she faced. Meanwhile, Barkley himself made history by setting a record for most rushing yards in a single season.
Taylor Swift was in attendance at Super Bowl LIX, cheering on her boyfriend Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs. However, she was met with boos from some Philadelphia Eagles fans present at the stadium. Philadelphia Eagles star running back Saquon Barkley , who helped his team secure the Super Bowl victory against the Chiefs with a 40-22 score, expressed his bewilderment at the negative reception Swift received.
Barkley appeared on SiriusXM’s 'The Howard Stern Show' and shared his thoughts on the situation. He stated, 'I don't get it. I don't get why she was getting hate there. She's there supporting her significant other and she's made the game bigger. You know, we're all about, in football, we're all about, you know, how can we expand the game and make it more, you know, internationally and we're traveling to Brazil and we're traveling to Mexico, and you know, apparently we're traveling to Australia soon, so we're trying to expand the game and, you know, her being a part of it's only helping that, so I don't get the slack that she's getting.' Barkley acknowledged that Swift's presence at the game contributes to the growing global reach of the sport. Despite not having his usual stellar performance, Barkley still made history by setting a new record for the most rushing yards in a single season, both regular season and postseason combined. He accumulated 57 yards in the victory, bringing his total to 2,504 rushing yards, surpassing the previous record set by Denver Broncos legend Terrell Davis in 1998.
