Taylor Swift faced booing during the Super Bowl and after that her Instagram followers saw a drop by more than 144,200. This has now become a topic of discussion and a new debate started among her fans and critics.

Mixed Reactions to Taylor Swift’s Super Bowl Appearance
Taylor Swift attended the Super Bowl to support her boyfriend and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. However, the fans’ reaction was surprising. Some fans were happy to see Taylor in the event, while there were many who were disappointed to see the Hollywood singer at the Super Bowl. These were probably those who did not agree with her political views. After that, Taylor Swift’s Instagram follower count dropped by more than 144,200. The figure was tracked by Social Blade which is a company known for monitoring social media statistics of various channels and social media.
Reasons behind Taylor Swift Decline in Followers
There has been mixed reactions and speculation about the reasons behind this decline. Some people think that Taylor Swift’s growing political influence might be the reason. Alexis Winters, a member of the New York Young Republican Club, gave reaction to the incident, saying that Taylor Swift followers decline reflects the widespread sentiment of some conservative fans. Winters said, “We are tired of celebrities who call us from their ivory towers and give their opinion on policies that will never affect them.” She further added, “Taylor Swift is the best example of this, and the loss of her hundreds of thousands of Instagram followers represents the millions of Americans who chose their president instead of the Hollywood mob.”
Travis Kelce’s Instagram Increased
On the other hand, Taylor Swift’s boyfriend Travis Kelce’s Instagram account got benefit from what happened at the super bowl. His followers have increased by more than 12,370 after that. This fact is even more shocking to some fans, who believe that the criticism of Taylor Swift is unfair. Sarah Koger, 32, of Buckeye, Arizona, responded to this by saying, “I think it’s equally upsetting and surprising why people seem more eager to celebrate a man dating a successful woman than the actual woman herself.”
Taylor Swift Fans Disappointed by the Treatment at the Super Bowl
The fans who support Taylor Swift have expressed disappointment with the way Taylor Swift was treated during the Super Bowl. “When Travis appeared on the Eras Tour, Swifties were excited to see him and cheering him on. When Taylor was shown on the jumbotron, she was booed,” said Jenna Piwowarski, leader of the “Swifties For Trump” movement. Piwowarski further added, “I understand that the demographic of Super Bowl attendees are not Taylor Swift fans, but the generalized hatred towards them for supporting their boyfriend is unfair and disgusting.”
However this controversy does not seem to be affecting Taylor Swift’s fan following. Her influence still remains strong. Her Eras Tour has become the highest-grossing concert tour of all time. Despite followers’ drop, her singing career shows no signs of slowing down. Taylor Swift presence continues to be a powerful one in the music industry.
Should Celebrities Involve in Politics
The incident has once again raised the question of whether or not celebrities should get involved in politics. Taylor Swift in the past has publicly expressed her political views fearlessly. This attitude of the singer is not liked by some of the people and has made her controversial among them. However, a large section of her fans support her move and believe that she has every right to express her views.
Amid this debate, Taylor Swift has not given any reaction. However, her fans are expecting her to speak on it soon. Meanwhile, discussions continue and it is clear that Taylor Swift has made her mark not just on music but also on social and political issues.
Despite all these controversies, Taylor Swift’s popularity and influence is still on the peak. She has been able to provide entertainment to her fans with her music and her presence. She is an inspiration for millions and will continue to make her mark on music and social issues in the years to come.
