A few fans on social media were not too pleased about the Boston Bruins players sporting Taylor Swift shirts for the Super Bowl 58 showdown between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, Feb. 11.
The Chiefs defeated the 49ers in the ultimate football showdown to win their third championship in four years. This was also the Chiefs' second consecutive Super Bowl title, bringing their total to four in franchise history.
Meanwhile, Patrick Mahomes received the MVP award, his second in a row. The 28-year-old star quarterback has now won three rings in his relatively young (seven-year) career.
Taylor Swift, a global icon and the girlfriend of Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, was one of the most vocal supporters throughout the campaign.
