Taylor Swift Defended By Eagles Player Saquon Barkley After Super Bowl Booing — While Travis Kelce Remains Weirdly Silent

After Taylor Swift was booed by Eagles fans at the Super Bowl, many Swifties expected her boyfriend – Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce – to come to her defense. But instead, it was Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley, whose team bested the Chiefs at the Super Bowl LIX Sunday, to speak out in her defense first.

“You know, I remember that they showed her on the jumbotron and she got booed. I don’t get it. I don’t get why she was getting hate there,” Barkley said during a recent appearance on SiriusXM’s The Howard Stern Show.

The running back pointed to the notable impact Swift has made on the professional sport just by attending Kelce’s games.

“She’s there supporting her significant other and she’s made the game bigger,” he said. “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.”

Barkley then added, “So we’re trying to expand the game and, you know, her being a part of it’s only helping that. I don’t get the slack that she’s getting.”
