"Travis was aware of Taylor getting booed and he felt helpless. Seeing the look on her face got to him," a source told the Mail.

"He always protects her and it broke his heart. He was already having a tough night and the fact that the stadium was predominantly Eagles fans didn’t help."

Celebrity reaction

Serena Williams was quick to defend Taylor on social media.

She took to X, formerly known as Twitter and wrote: “I love you @taylorswift 13 don't listen to those boos!!!”

Meanwhile Donald Trump, who received a warm welcome from the crowd posted: “Trump gets massive cheers at the Super Bowl while Taylor Swift gets booed.

He added: “The world is healing!”

Meanwhile, Kanye West has also deleted his account from X after posting a rant about Taylor Swift during the Super Bowl.

While appearing to be talking about Lamar's song "Not Like Us" he said: “IF ITS ABOUT THE CULTURE … WHY ARE WE LETTING TAYLOR SWIFT BE SEEN ON TV SINGING A SONG ABOUT TAKING A BLACK MAN DOWN AND ACCUSING OF THINGS THAT CAN TAKE A BLACK MAN DOWN FOR LIFE."

Taylor seemed unbothered by the comments and booing and is yet to react on socials.
