The biggest question dominating the internet is whether or not the world's most famous pop star, Taylor Swift has made it to the Super Bowl.

And the answer is, yes, she did. The concern was born from the news that Swift would be performing in Tokyo for The Eras Tour and might have to miss seeing her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, play in the Super Bowl against the San Francisco 49ers.

The internet, of course, loved (and hated this news) and reacted appropriately.

🚨 Taylor Swift is at the Super Bowl 🚨

Swift arrived in lowkey fashion accompanied by Blake Lively and Ice Spice. Which for some (the fan pages), are more exciting guest appearances than anyone Usher could bring out (bar Alicia Keyes and Justin Bieber).

Are NFL fans upset Taylor Swift is at the Super Bowl? Of course, and they weren't afraid to let their (undeserved) displeasure be known on X (formerly Twitter).

The others in the anti-Swift Super Bowl appearance are conservatives who think the 14-time Grammy winner is a "Pentagon asset" and that this whole game is a psyop to get President Joe Biden re-elected later this year. No, we did not make that up.
