Taylor Swift at the Super Bowl: Everything We Know
It’s Super Bowl Sunday, and Taylor Swift is once again making the whole place shimmer.
In this year’s NFL season-ender, men from Kansas City and Philadelphia don their tight pants and hard hats for the last time to deliver one final performance at New Orleans’ Caesars Superdome.

Below, we’re delivering a cheat sheet of sorts for everything we know — and everything you should know — about Swift at her second Super Bowl.

From the fumbles and touchdowns, to those moments men run onto the field to measure distance with two sticks and a string, Swift is poised to see it all. But who is she with? When did she arrive? And will she join Kendrick Lamar on stage during the halftime performance to deliver an updated version of their “Bad Blood” collaboration? The answers to these burning questions — and more! — are outlined in our handy list.
If you’re looking for a detailed play-by-play of the big game, which kicks off at 6:30/5:30c on Fox… why? But if you’re interested in a rundown of Swift’s Super Bowl extravaganza, consider this list our friendship bracelet to you. Once you scroll through everything we know, hit the comments with your reactions to Super Bowl 59 (Taylor’s Version).
When Did Taylor Swift Arrive at the Super Bowl?
Our pop diva arrived nearly a full hour before kickoff, and Fox didn’t make us wait to catch a glimpse of her. Hopefully there are more cutaways to come! (See more footage of her arrival.)
Who’s in Taylor Swift’s Super Bowl Box?
Swift arrived at this year’s big game with Ice Spice, her “Karma” collaborator. In Swift’s box, the pair was joined by friend Ashley Avignone, fellow musicians Alana, Este and Danielle Haim, athlete Ross Travis, and Ed and Donna Kelce.
What Did Taylor Swift Wear to the Super Bowl?
Swift arrived in an all-white outfit, appearing to make a necklace of the “T” charm worn on her thigh at last week’s Grammys. She later shed her white blazer to prepare to cheer on the Chiefs.

Did the Haters Hate, Hate, Hate, Hate, Hate, Hate?
Where there’s Swift, there are strong opinions — and those extended to Caesars Superdome, where some in the crowd appeared to boo Swift when she appeared on the Jumbotron. Swift seemed a little taken aback by the reaction, but, as we all knew she would, she shook it off within seconds.
Did Taylor Swift Perform at the Super Bowl?
Sadly, no. Despite our highest hopes that the singer would join Kendrick Lamar on the Super Bowl stage for a live version of their “Bad Blood” duet, Swift stayed in her suite. (But the halftime performance did have surprise guests.) Her absence made a really deep cut, but luckily there’s still the opportunity for more TV sightings of the Tortured Poet herself in the game’s second half.
Did Taylor Announce Reputation (Taylor’s Version) Already?!
Sadly, though the Superdome was filled with green, black and white confetti at the end of the game — snake colors, no? — we ended the night with nary a word about Swift’s rumored next re-do. But take heart: Somewhere, there’s a Swiftie figuring out how the Super Bowl’s final score of 40-22 is an Easter egg teasing the re-recording’s true release date.
