Former NFL player Brandon Marshall has made a bold claim on his podcast, “Paper Route.” He alleges that pop sensation Taylor Swift had rapper Kanye West removed from the Super Bowl 2024.

According to Marshall, Kanye West had purchased a ticket directly in front of Swift’s booth. This move aimed to ensure that Kanye West’s face would be visible every time the camera panned to Taylor Swift. This move, Marshall claims, upset Swift, leading to the alleged action of having Kanye West removed from the stadium.
However, it’s important to note that these are claims made by Brandon Marshall and have not been confirmed by Taylor Swift, Kanye West, or the NFL. No public statements from either Taylor Swift or Kanye West address this incident.
Interestingly, while narrating the incident, Marshall made a significant error. He mistakenly identified Swift, who is 34 years old, as Katy Perry. However, Katy Perry was not present at the game that Sunday night. This mix-up added an unexpected twist to the unfolding story.
Marshall, a veteran of 13 NFL seasons, shared this account before realizing his mistake,
“So Kanye West pulls up to the Super Bowl. Kanye West buys a ticket right in front of Katy Perry’s booth, so anytime they are going to be showing Katy Perry, Kanye’s face was going to be there — he had a mask on with his logo on the mask,”
“So Taylor Swift gets pissed off [and] she makes a call or two — everybody is involved — [and] he gets kicked out the stadium,”
The alleged Super Bowl incident is rooted in Kanye West’s plan to upstage Taylor Swift. Many see this move as the latest chapter in the complex relationship between Taylor Swift and Kanye West. Their relationship dates back to the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. During the awards, Kanye West interrupted Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech for Best Female Video, claiming that Beyoncé had one of the best videos ever.
Post-2009, Kanye West apologized several times for the incident, and Taylor Swift accepted his apology. However, the relationship between the two took another hit in 2016. Kanye West released the track “Famous” with controversial lyrics about Taylor Swift.
These past tensions contributed to the alleged incident at the Super Bowl. However, these are all speculations based on the available information. Neither Taylor Swift nor Kanye West has made any public statements confirming or refuting these claims.
As we wait for more details to emerge, fans and music lovers worldwide are left to speculate on the truth behind these allegations. If true, the incident highlights power dynamics in the music industry. It also shows the lengths artists will go to protect their image and cater to their fan base.
