Kim Kardashian lost the VIP box game to Taylor Swift during the Super Bowl in Las Vegas on Sunday where the Kansas City Chiefs beat the San Francisco 49ers.
It appears that the siren’s $1M Super Bowl LVIII box was a bore – and not even full – while her longtime foe Taylor was having a rollicking good time in her packed room.
It was like night and day.
While Kim looked at her cell phone with her head down, Taylor pumped her arms in the air as she cheered on her Kansas City Chiefs boyfriend Travis Kelce.
Both boxes were sprinkled with VIP names (and Kim had even bigger names around her than Taylor did), but the temperature was a big contrast.
There even appeared to be a guy asleep in his seat in Kim’s camp.
Kim and Taylor have a negative history that includes Kim’s ex-husband Kanye West.
In Kim’s box were her two sisters Khloe Kardashian and Kendall Jenner. That is a lot of star power right there.
And the Keeping Up With the Kardashian’s vet also had buddy Justin Bieber and his supermodel wife Hailey Bieber.
Also seen were Denver Bronco’s quarterback Russell Wilson and his singer wife Ciara who sat one row back from Kim.
Reality TV star La La Anthony – who used to be married to basketball star Carmelo Anthony – was also spied as she sat next to Kim then said hello to Ciara.
Model Winnie Harlow was also spied as she looked at her cell phone and didn’t seem to chat much to anyone.
In Taylor’s box was movie and TV star Blake Lively, who is married to Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds.
Also present were singers Ice Spice, Lana Del Rey and RIOTUSA, and Top Gun: Maverick actor Miles Teller with model wife Keleigh Teller.
A bonus buddy: Emma Stone’s stylist pal Ashley Avignone.
There are a lot of factors to weigh in: Kim is much older at 43, is a busy reality TV star and SKIMS mogul and mom of four, and has already been to several football games in the past (she used to date Reggie Bush, after all).
Taylor is 34 and fresh at all of this, plus she is romancing one of the key players on the field so she was very invested in the game.
Maybe if Kim had brought her new reported boyfriend, Odell Beckham Jr, things would have turned in her favor.
Kim was seen in the company of Odell in Las Vegas during Super Bowl weekend, as seen in photos obtained by DailyMail.com.
But the SKKN beauty and makeup mogul seems to be hesitant to bring the romance out in the open after splitting from Kanye West three years ago.
The Kansas City Chiefs ultimately beat out the slight favorite San Francisco 49ers, 25-22, as Patrick Mahomes threw a three-yard game-winning touchdown pass to Mecole Hardman in overtime.
Kim and Taylor have a past.
Swift slammed Kim for ‘taking her down psychologically’ during her 2023 TIME Magazine’s Person of the Year interview. Taylor revealed details about the dispute that originated when Kim’s then-husband, Kanye West, incorporated explicit lyrics about the emerging star in a 2016 song.
Kanye asserted that Taylor had given her consent for the reference. However, after Taylor denied it, Kim intervened by releasing what the popstar referred to as ‘an illegally recorded phone call’ between them, aiming to prove otherwise.
Taylor expressed that the resulting public fallout felt like ‘a career death,’ emphasizing, ‘Make no mistake—my career was taken away from me.’
Reflecting on the aftermath and the severe toll it took on her well-being, Taylor shared with the outlet, ‘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.
‘That took me down psychologically to a place I’ve never been before. I moved to a foreign country. I didn’t leave a rental house for a year. I was afraid to get on phone calls.’
‘I pushed away most people in my life because I didn’t trust anyone anymore. I went down really, really hard.’
The conflict between Taylor, Kim, and Kanye began surfacing as early as 2009, unexpectedly emerging when the then 19-year-old Taylor received the Best Female Video award for You Belong with Me at the MTV Video Music Awards. Out of nowhere, during her acceptance speech, Kanye abruptly stormed onto the stage, wrestled the microphone from her hands, and declared, ‘Yo, Taylor, I’m really happy for you, and Imma let you finish, but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time. One of the absolute best!’
In an attempt to ease the awkwardness, Beyoncé later invited Taylor on stage when she won Video of the Year for Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It), graciously providing the country music star with a moment in the spotlight.
However, the tension persisted when the father-of-four once again embarrassed the star at the 2015 VMAs. It seemed like the two were getting along, as Kanye quipped, ‘You know how many times they announced Taylor was going to give me the award ’cause it got them more ratings?’
However, Taylor later revealed his statement bothered her, as he publicly suggested it was for ratings, while privately asking her to join him on stage because it would ‘mean so much.’ Taylor later told Rolling Stone: ‘I’m standing in the audience with my arm around his wife, and this chill ran through my body. I realized he is so two-faced. That he wants to be nice to me behind the scenes, but then he wants to look cool, get up in front of everyone and talk s**t. And I was so upset.’
In recent months Taylor has been getting more headlines than the games themselves as she has flown across the country supporting her man at his matches.
With every game she attends, fans’ eyes have been firmly glued on her reactions from her suite and of those who have been celebrating around her.
For the biggest night in American football, a host of celebrities descended upon the Vegas arena, including the likes of Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande.
Yet not everyone made it into Taylor’s suite, with Beyonce – who is part of Taylor’s squad – opting to watch the game in a separate box alongside husband Jay-Z and their daughter Blue Ivy.
Also with them was the former Twitter boss Jack Dorsey.
