“I’d rather drink sewer water than see Taylor Swift perform at the Super Bowl”. The singer’s response made Jay-Z….

Taylor Swift performed at the 2025 Super Bowl halftime show, captivating audiences with her dynamic set. However, her appearance was met with mixed reactions.

Some fans booed when she was shown on the jumbotron sitting with rapper Ice Spice and friend Ashley Avignone, as she was there to support her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end Travis Kelce.

Swift laughed off the incident, and Serena Williams later showed support for her on social media, telling her not to listen to the boos.

In contrast, Jay-Z, who co-produced the halftime show through his company Roc Nation, has previously declined offers to perform at the Super Bowl.

He turned down an invitation because the NFL requested that he bring along Rihanna and Kanye West to perform their collaboration “Run This Town.”

Jay-Z felt that his opportunity to headline should not be contingent on who he could bring on stage, emphasizing that it was a matter of principle.

In the aftermath of the 2025 Super Bowl, media personalities like Charlemagne tha God expressed their satisfaction with the current trend of featuring Black artists in the halftime show, implying that Taylor Swift’s absence was a positive development.

While Taylor Swift’s performance was a significant moment in the Super Bowl’s entertainment history, it also highlighted ongoing discussions about artist selection and representation in major events.
