A group of rampaging Eagles fans took to the streets in Philadelphia to celebrate their team's Super Bowl victory by setting fire to a Kansas City Chiefs jersey and chanting "f*** Taylor Swift."
The popstar is dating Chiefs' tight end Travis Kelce and had previously been booed by Eagles fans during the game itself, which saw the Chiefs suffer a crushing 22-40 defeat. A group of rowdy fans was seen ripping a Chiefs jersey to shreds before burning it on the ground, as they jumped in a circle around the flames chanting abuse directed toward Swift.
Several in the crowd had their cell phones out filming and various clips and angles of the incident were later shared online, where the footage went viral.
One clip, originally posted by freedomnews.tv, was shared repeatedly on X (formerly Twitter) by various users with one video being viewed more than 255,000 times.
Hundreds of people gathered in South Broad Street and elsewhere across the city before the championship game had even finished, with police and state troopers on horseback trying to drive back crowds as some celebrations tipped out of control. There were several injuries and events during the chaos, according to Fox News, which reported that an 18-year-old had died after falling off a lamp post.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
