Taylor Swift allegedly had Kanye West removed from the Super Bowl after the rapper tried to upstage her on Sunday night, former NFL star Brandon Marshall has sensationally claimed.
Swift is said to have ‘made a call’ to have Kanye booted out after he intentionally bought seats at Las Vegas’s Allegiant Stadium that were in front hers.
The ‘Anti-Hero’ singer, 34 – who cheered her boyfriend Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs to victory against the San Francisco 49ers – was in a VIP box with celebrity pals Blake Lively, Ice Spice and Lana Del Rey, as well as Kelce’s family.
Marshall – a retired NFL wide receiver – suggested Kanye, 46, was strategically placing himself in front of Taylor to photobomb any footage of her during the game’s broadcast.
‘[Kanye] was trying to leverage her celebrity,’ Marshall said on the I AM ATHLETE podcast. ‘[So] Taylor Swift gets p****d off. She boom boom makes a call or two. Everybody’s involved. He gets kicked out the stadium.’

It is unclear where Marshall got his information from and there is nothing to suggest any truth in his allegations.
The former NFLer did also initially confuse Swift with fellow popstar Katy Perry when making the wild claims.
However, if true, the incident represents a resounding victory for Swift in her years-long feud with the controversial rapper — starting back in 2009 when Kanye stormed the stage at the VMAs and embarrassed Taylor as she was accepting an award for Best Female Video.
‘Yo Taylor, I’m really happy for you, I’ll let you finish,’ Kanye infamously said as he grabbed the mic from the singer, then just 19-years-old. ‘But Beyoncé has one of the best videos of all time!’
DailyMail.com has contacted representatives for both Swift and Kanye.
Kanye was pictured at the Super Bowl with his wife Bianca Censori on Sunday — but it is unclear when he left the stadium.
The rapper was captured wearing a full-face covering with a white crucifix on the front and an all-black leather outfit, while Censori was uncharacteristically covered up in a black, oversized rain jacket and hooded accessory.
Kanye was firmly stepping into enemy territory with his ex-wife Kim Kardashian also in attendance at the big game.
Kanye’s marriage to Kim officially ended in 2021, and she has since begun dating Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.

Taylor’s feud with Kanye stems as far back as 2009, when he interrupted her acceptance speech the Best Female Video award for You Belong with Me
Kanye’s epic feud with Taylor reached new heights after he released his 2016 track ‘Famous’ which included a vulgar reference to Swift in the lyrics.
Kanye rapped: ‘For all my South Side n****s that know me best, I feel like me and Taylor might still have 𝑠e𝑥. Why? I made that b***h famous.’
The accompanying music video also depicted a naked Taylor (posed by an actress) lying in his bed next to him — along with a host of other celebrities including a nude Kim Kardashian.
Taylor, understandably, took offense. However, Kanye defended the line, claiming he had a phone conversation with Taylor and that she had consented to the lyric ahead of time, which she denied.
Swift continued to accuse Kanye of lying which prompted Kim to release a partial recording of the call in question.
‘I’m really glad you had the respect to call me that and tell me that as a friend, about the song. It’s just a really cool thing to do, and a really good show of friendship,’ Taylor is heard saying.
Swift hit back, claiming that while Kanye spoke through some of the lyrics, he never said that he would call her a ‘b***h.’
Kanye claimed Taylor had consented to it but, after denying it, Kim also weighed in a released ‘an illegally recorded phone call’ between the pair which she claimed proved otherwise
The singer, 33, who has been named TIME Magazine’s Person of the Year, dished on the dispute which started when Kim’s then-husband Kanye West included vulgar lyrics about her in 2016
Taylor Swift has slammed Kim Kardashian for ‘taking her down psychologically’ and forcing her into hiding during their long-running feud
Taylor opened up on the ordeal during her interview with TIME last year, after she was named the magazine’s Person of the Year in December.
She said that the public fallout felt like ‘a career death,’ adding: ‘Make no mistake — my career was taken away from me.’
Referring to release of the recorded conversation she added: ‘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.’
As a result of the fallout, Taylor disappeared from the public eye, widely believed to have rented a home in London with British actor Joe Alwyn who she dated from October 2016 until they split early last year.
‘I pushed away most people in my life because I didn’t trust anyone anymore. I went down really, really hard,’ she told TIME.
Most of the pop icon’s album Reputation, released in 2017, took aim at her experience during the ordeal.
Whether or not Taylor attempted to have Kanye kicked out of Allegiant Stadium on Sunday, she still had much to celebrate regardless.
