Former NFL wide receiver Brandon Marshall has made claims on his podcast that pop icon Taylor Swift was instrumental in having rapper Kanye West removed from Super Bowl 58.
According to Marshall, West’s deliberate purchase of seats directly in front of Swift was a calculated attempt to ensure he appeared in every camera shot aimed at the pop star during the event.
Marshall detailed that Swift, allegedly agitated by West’s presence and the potential overshadowing, made a series of calls that led to West’s ejection from the stadium. “Taylor Swift gets pissed off. She boom boom makes a call or two. Everybody’s involved.”
“He gets kicked out of the stadium,” Marshall explained, suggesting that West was attempting to “leverage her celebrity” for his own visibility.
WATCH:
Despite Marshall’s assertion, Kanye West was indeed spotted at the stadium, but not in the contentious location in front of Swift, casting doubt on the story’s accuracy.
Marshall’s recounting of the event connects back to the long-standing feud between West and Swift, which famously began at the MTV Video Music Awards years prior. According to Marshall, West’s actions at the Super Bowl were a continuation of this saga, an attempt to capitalize on their infamous history.
Swift was there to see her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, who had 9 catches for 93 yards in the Chiefs’ 25-22 Super Bowl win.
With no evidence to corroborate the former NFL star’s claims, the story remains a speculative piece of celebrity gossip. Yet, it undeniably adds another chapter to the storied and tumultuous relationship between two of music’s biggest stars.
REACTIONS:
Taylor Swift is completely full of herself so naturally she’d think she has the right to decide who sits where at the Super Bowl.
She’s a lush and a horrible person.
Kanye has his own set of issues but he’s more right in the head than Tay Tay.
