The Philadelphia Eagles star, Saquon Barkley, has come to the defense of singer Taylor Swift after she was booed by the audience during the Super Bowl. Barkley expressed his confusion over the negative reaction towards Swift, highlighting her support for her significant other, Travis Kelce.
During an appearance on SiriusXM's The Howard Stern Show, Barkley recalled the moment when Swift appeared on the jumbotron at the Super Bowl LIX, receiving a negative reaction from the crowd. He emphasized that Swift's presence at various Kansas City Chiefs games has helped broaden the NFL's audience, despite the backlash she received at the Super Bowl.
Barkley also shared his admiration for actor Bradley Cooper, whom he crowned as the biggest celebrity Eagles fan, narrowly surpassing Kevin Hart. He mentioned being star-struck by meeting Zac Efron, citing his daughter's love for Efron's movies.
When Stern suggested Barkley could venture into acting, the running back humorously referenced High School Musical, hinting at a possible future in the entertainment industry. Barkley's insights on Swift and his encounters with celebrities offer a glimpse into the intersection of sports and entertainment.
