Kanye West Denies Super Bowl Incident with Taylor Swift: A Closer Look
Las Vegas, NV — The ongoing saga between Kanye West and Taylor Swift took an unexpected turn during this year’s Super Bowl. Reports surfaced that West was allegedly kicked out of the event after purchasing a ticket in front of Swift’s suite. However, West’s representatives have swiftly denied these claims, labeling them “completely fabricated rumors.”
Kanye West has shut down the suggestion he was removed from the Super Bowl over the weekend after Taylor Swift made “calls”.
On Sunday night, Taylor was among the celebrities in attendance at the biggest night in American football, where her boyfriend Travis Kelce’s team, the Kansas City Chiefs, came out on top.
Former NFL player Brandon Marshall fueled the rumor mill when he suggested that West intentionally chose a seat in front of Swift’s suite at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium. Marshall claimed West donned a mask with his logo, drawing attention to himself.
Swift, who was cheering on her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, and the Kansas City Chiefs during their game against the San Francisco 49ers, reportedly made a call or two. The result? West allegedly found himself escorted out of the stadium.
West’s Response
In a statement to Forbes, West’s representative categorically denied the incident. “This is a completely fabricated rumor. It is not true,” the rep asserted.

Former NFL player Brandon Marshall made a bold claim on his podcast Paper Route, claiming that Ye bought seats “right in front” in front of Taylor’s suite at the game.

A Long-Running Feud Kanye West Denies Super Bowl Incident
The tension between West and Swift dates back to the infamous 2009 MTV VMAs incident when West interrupted Swift during her acceptance speech. Over the years, there have been other controversies, including a Snapchat video posted by West’s ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, in 2016.
The video showed Swift and West discussing his song “Famous” on a phone call. Swift has consistently maintained that West never informed her about the controversial lyric, “I made that bitch famous.”
Swift’s Perspective
In a candid interview with Time magazine, Swift reflected on the toll these incidents have taken on her.
“You have a fully manufactured frame job, in an illegally recorded phone call, which Kim Kardashian edited and then put out to say to everyone that I was a liar,” Swift revealed. “That took me down psychologically to a place I’ve never been before.”
Despite the challenges, Swift has persevered. Her successful Eras Tour, her history-making fourth Album of the Year Grammy for “Midnights,” and her upcoming album “The Tortured Poets Department” demonstrate her resilience.
However, the Jesus Walks rapper has insisted this is not the case.
Ye’s rep told Forbes: “This is a completely fabricated rumour. It is not true.”
HuffPost UK has also contacted Taylor Swift’s team for additional comment.
The two musicians’ 15-year feud is well-documented, beginning with Ye famously interrupting Taylor’s acceptance speech at the 2009 VMAs to suggest Beyoncé should have won her award instead.
While they had eventually reached something of a truce by the mid-2010s, things took another turn when Ye referenced Taylor on his 2016 single Famous, which opened with the lyric: “For all my Southside n***as that know me best,I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex. Why? I made that bitch famous.”
More recently, Ye has come under fire for a series of controversies, most notably antisemitic comments “including repeated praise for Hitler and the Nazis”, wearing a “White Lives Matter” t-shirt to a fashion show in 2022 and inviting Marilyn Manson to join him at his Donda album launch.
In December 2023, he shared a public apology, written in Hebrew, in a now-deleted Instagram post, which read:
“I sincerely apologise to the Jewish community for any unintended outburst caused by my words or actions.”
“It was not my intention to offend or demean, and I deeply regret any pain I may have caused.
“I am committed to starting with myself and learning from this experience to ensure greater sensitivity and understanding in the future. Your forgiveness is important to me, and I am committed to making amends and promoting unity.”
As the Super Bowl dust settles, one thing remains clear: the Kanye West-Taylor Swift saga continues to captivate audiences on and off the field.
