"The only one that had a tougher night than the Kansas City Chiefs was Taylor Swift. She got BOOED out of the Stadium. MAGA is very unforgiving," Trump wrote in a video clip posted on Truth Social.

A few days later, Trump reshared a post that said, "Trump gets massive cheers at the Super Bowl while Taylor Swift gets booed."

Meanwhile, Kimmel, 57, addressed the claims during his monologue on the February 10 episode of 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' stating, "Well, she didn’t get booed out of the stadium."
