It's tough being at the top.
Taylor Swift knew this, but still appeared confused when this past weekend's Super Bowl crowd began booing as the Jumbotron focused on her.
The game, which was between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs, was primed for some sort of reaction to the singer's presence. Swift, who grew up in Pennsylvania but is now famously dating Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, was bound to be a polarizing figure for that particular pairing.
Serena Williams, who was there performing in Kendrick Lamar's halftime show, tweeted out support for Swift.
People who were not Swifties came forward to defend the singer, as well.
A lot of commenters said it was about who Swift was supporting than who she is as a person.
And, like many aspects of the public's relationship with Swift, it was about who she was dating.
Many people appreciated Williams' support of Swift in that moment.
The Philly Eagles went on to win the Super Bowl later that evening.
