SUMMARY
- Taylor Swift's boyfriend Travis Kelce's team, The Kansas City Chiefs won the prestigious title of Super Bowl LVIII.
- But after the victory the pop sensation has been accused of using her power for personal vendetta.
The Kansas City Chiefs recently won their second-consecutive NFL title by winning Super Bowl LVIII. This victory took their fans on the seventh cloud, but Taylor Swift also made headlines after this win. The reason being her relationship with Chiefs star Travis Kelce. But just days after it, she’s been accused of removing Kanye West from the Super Bowl suit.
This allegation was made by former NFL receiver, Brandon Marshall. The 39-year-old said this during the recent episode of the “I Am Athlete” podcast. In the conversation, he claimed that Kanye purchased seats right in front of Taylor, so that every time the cameras showed her he would also be in the shot. But the pop star removed her from the suit.

The athlete also added that the rapper was kicked out of the stadium, but this isn’t true. The reason being that West was spotted at the stadium. Moreover, the allegations were denied himself by the 46-year-old rap star. A representative of Kanye said, “This is a completely fabricated rumor.” This makes it pretty clear that Brandon’s claims aren’t true.
Kanye West’s infamous 2009 stage crash to interrupt Taylor Swift
Kanye’s rep clarified that the claims aren’t true; but the reason people believed what Marshall said was the beef between Taylor Swift and Kim Kardashian’s ex-husband. These two public figures have been at odds several times in their careers. But it all started due to the rapper’s infamous stage crash to interrupt the female star back in 2009.
This incident took place when Taylor won the award for Best Female Video at MTV VMAs 2009. The female star took the award and was speaking about the accomplishment of winning the title. But a sunglasses-clad Kanye interrupted her, and even snatched the microphone.
After taking the mic from the pop star, who was just 19-years-old at that time, the rapper spoke. He stated, “I’ma let you finish, but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time.” This was absolutely disrespectful for a young artist like Swift. As she won the award after coming out on top against well-known stars, it was also heartbreaking for her.

After the rap artist spoiled the moment Taylor was having, the entire industry took him into the corner. Due to the kind of thing he did on the event, many celebrities thrashed him. Fans also took a note of the incident, and the rapper faced backlash from all across the world.
Just two days after the award show, Taylor appeared for a conversation on ABC Radio. That’s when she revealed that West apologized to her about what he did at the event and that she accepted it. A year after the infamous beef, Swift appeared for 2010’s VMA and sang “Innocent.” Fans believed was a reference to the 2009 incident. The reason being that it talked about the rapper’s innocence, and fans believed that this controversy had ended.
After about 6 years, life came full circle for both of these artists, as the pop sensation presented Kanye West with the precious lifetime achievement award at VMAs 2015. In fact, she also joked about the way West interrupted her in the past and stated that she’d let him finish. Moreover, she praised him for having one of the greatest careers of all time in the entertainment industry.
At that time, it seemed like everything was now good between these two superstars, until the rapper made a classless comment on the Grammy award-winning artist in 2016. West did it in through his album “The Life of Pablo,” as its song “Famous,” had a lyric referencing Taylor. It was, “I feel like me and Taylor might still have s*x, why? / I made that b— famous.”
This song started a new controversy, but Kim Kardashian stated that Taylor herself knew about the lyrics. But a rep from the pop star revealed that these claims aren’t true, and Kim might have said it because of the pressure of her relationship with the rapper, and this whole thing just continued making things worse between these two entertainment industry stars.
Later, a phone recording between West and Taylor was leaked, which claimed that the female singer knew about the lyrics. But following this, Swift released “Reputation” in November 2017, and had a track called “This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things” which seemingly addressed Kanye West and the leaked call issue.
It took over two years for this phone call leak matter to come to a conclusion, as it was in early 2020 when the unedited version of the call recording came out. In that 25-minute clip, the truth behind the whole controversy came out. Through that audio recording, it got clear that the rapper never told the female singer about a “b-” reference in the infamous song.
Kanye West made $19.3 million from Yeezy after the Super Bowl LVIII commercial
Whether Taylor Swift removed Kanye from the Super Bowl suit amid their controversial past or not isn’t known. But the high-profile game was still a great one for Kim Kardashian’s ex-husband. The reason being that Kanye made $19.3 million from Yeezy after a commercial for the website was aired during Super Bowl LVIII.
According to reports, the rapper’s team sent him a report that his $0 production budget Super Bowl ad was a huge success. The 30-second ad slot in the game cost them $7,000,000 but ended up generating 284,357 orders. It resulted in them making $19.3 million in sales in less than 24 hours, which is just insane.

The success of their commercial was revealed himself by the 46-year-old artist, as he talked about it on his Instagram. As the celebrity made such huge profits, Super Bowl LVIII is probably something that he’ll remember forever. But it remains to be seen if he speaks about this controversy in the near future or not.
