Hello Hello!
Last night, the Super Bowl LIX happened!
The Philadelphia Eagles soared to victory, defeating the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22. This triumph marks the Eagles' second Super Bowl title in franchise history.
Quarterback Jalen Hurts delivered an MVP-worthy performance, leading the offense with precision and poise. The Eagles' defense was equally formidable, stifling Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs' high-powered offense.
But a lot of things happened after the event as well. Let’s dive into that…

Taylor Swift gets booed by Super Bowl crowd
She didn’t exactly get a warm welcome at the Super Bowl this year.
When the jumbotron zoomed in on her during the game, the crowd erupted in loud boos, leaving her looking visibly confused - some even think she mouthed, “What’s going on?”
Swift was at the game supporting her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, alongside Ice Spice and stylist Ashley Avignone.
But with the stadium packed with Eagles fans (who had already booed the Chiefs earlier), it seems they weren’t too thrilled about her presence either.
Even former President Donald Trump chimed in, boasting about how his own entrance got a better reaction.
Meanwhile, Swift’s friend Serena Williams had her back, posting on X: “I love you @taylorswift13 dont listen to those booo!!”
Is Travis Scott planning to quit?
The 35-year-old tight end, who had his worst season in years, didn’t stick around long after the game to talk about retirement. Instead, he made a quick exit to Taylor Swift’s suite.
Kelce has a contract that runs through 2027, but reports say he’s still undecided about playing next season.
He didn’t do much in the game - just four catches for 39 yards, and the Chiefs’ offense looked completely out of sync.
Mahomes, for his part, isn’t pushing him either way, saying Kelce has earned the right to make his own call.
So, is this the end of an era? We’ll have to wait and see.
