Was Kanye West kicked out of the Super Bowl by Taylor Swift?

A rumor that Taylor Swift had Kanye West removed from the Super Bowl after he bought a ticket in front of her suite has been denied by West’s representative.

The rumor originated from a podcast episode of I Am Athlete’s Paper Route, where former NFL player Brandon Marshall claimed that West deliberately sat in front of Swift’s booth to get attention from the cameras. Swift was reportedly cheering for her boyfriend Travis Kelce, who plays for the Kansas City Chiefs.

Marshall said that Swift was “pissed off” by West’s presence and made “a call or two” to have him kicked out of the stadium. He also suggested that West was trying to “leverage her celebrity” by wearing a mask with his logo on it.

However, West’s rep told Forbes that the rumor was “completely fabricated” and “not true”. The rep did not provide any further details on West’s attendance or whereabouts at the Super Bowl.

Swift’s rep has not commented on the rumor or confirmed her relationship with Kelce.

West and Swift have a long and complicated history of feuding, dating back to 2009 when West interrupted Swift’s acceptance speech at the MTV VMAs. The feud reignited in 2016 when West released a song called “Famous”, which included a controversial lyric about Swift. Kim Kardashian, West’s ex-wife, later leaked a phone call between West and Swift that appeared to show Swift approving the lyric, but Swift denied this and accused West of “misogyny”.

The full phone call was eventually leaked in 2020, revealing that West did not tell Swift about the specific line “I made that bitch famous”.

Swift has since moved on from the drama and achieved success with her albums Midnights and The Tortured Poets Department, while West has faced personal and professional challenges, including his divorce from Kardashian and his failed presidential bid.
