Crip-walking ex-boyfriend terrorizer and tennis great Serena Williams defended Taylor Swift after the pop star was hit with an unwavering smattering of ‘boos’ at Super Bowl LIX.
Swift was met with a not-so-subtle level of jeering from the crowd at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans at Sunday night’s Super Bowl. Philadelphia Eagles fans had clearly stepped up in the Big Easy.
Swift, shown on the Jumbotron during pre-game festivities, was clearly taken aback by the crowd’s reaction. She gave a side-eye look, did a double take, and then leaned forward to say something to the person in front of her.
“What’s going on?” it looks like she asked.
It was so bad that President Trump made fun of the “Shake It Off” singer after the Chiefs got ram-rodded by the Eagles.
“The only one that had a tougher night than the Kansas City Chiefs was Taylor Swift,” the president wrote on social media. “She got BOOED out of the Stadium.”
Indeed, that was the case.
The official end of woke celebrity culture.

Serena Williams Comes To Taylor Swift’s Defense
Serena Williams, the 23-time Grand Slam winner in tennis and quite possibly the greatest women’s tennis player of all time, leapt to Taylor Swift’s defense after the heckling.
“I love you @taylorswift13 dont listen to those booo!!” Williams wrote.
Unfortunately for her, Swift not only had to listen to ‘those booo’ but she had to endure watching her boyfriend possibly ending his career with the Chiefs by crashing and burning for just four catches and 39 yards.
To be fair, this wasn’t on Trav. The entire team laid an egg and got blown out of the Superdome before fans had time to find their seats.

Appeared In The Halftime Show
Serena Williams often defends and empowers female superstars like Taylor Swift. She stepped up for Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark during the WNBA season.
“If people are negative, it’s because they can’t do what you do,” she said in defense of Clark from all the haters.
That’s probably a life lesson Williams herself learned throughout her storied career.
Aside from backing up Taylor Swift, Serena Williams caused some controversy during the Super Bowl halftime show with Kendrick Lamar.
Aside from Lamar’s performance being white hot trash, Williams became a part of it by performing the “crip walk,” a v “dance” related to the violent Crips street gang in California.
