Swift's face appeared in the jumbotron and was met with boos, prompting a surprised face from Swift herself. As the crowd continued to boo, Swift laughed and was seen mouthing "What is going on?" 

She was sitting next to her close friend Ice Spice, who also seemed surprised by the crowd's reaction. They were joined by Swift and Kelce's family.

Swift and Ice Spice attended the Super Bowl together last year and were joined by Blake Lively, another of Swift's closest friends. 

Williams was quick to share her support for Swift on X. "I love you," she wrote. "Don't listen to those booo!!" 

Swift and Williams have known each other for years, with there being photos of the two together since 2016.
