Taylor Swift received cheers and boos at the Allegiant Stadium, as she was spotted with Blake Lively on multiple occasions.

Initially, the popstar received cheers during Post Malone's live performance of "America the Beautiful". This happened just after her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce, was seen looking emotional on the sidelines.

But when she was shown later on downing a drink she received a mixture of both boos and cheers. Despite having flown all the way from Tokyo, Japan, Swift made it to the game on Sunday.

Swift arrived at Allegiant Stadium two hours before kickoff, after a 10-hour flight from Tokyo. She had just finished performing in Japan on Saturday night and headed straight to the airport.

She's due back on the other side of the world this coming week, with the Australian leg of her "Eras Tour" concerts starting from Feb. 16. But having attended 12 of 20 Chiefs games this season, the singer couldn't afford to miss the Super Bowl.

During the Super Bowl, it's common to see celebrities in the crowd. But during a regular season game between the Chiefs and the New York Jets, NBC's broadcast cut to Swift 17 times.

Swift responded to criticism about her frequent screen time during NFL games, saying: "I have no awareness of if I'm being shown too much and p****** off a few dads, Brads, and Chads," Even Kelce said the NFL was "overdoing it" on his brother Jason's podcast, "New Heights".

But Adele had a message for those complaining about Swift's presence at the games. While performing in Las Vegas, she told the audience: "[For] all of you complaining about Taylor being at the game, get a f****** life, that's her f****** boyfriend,"
