US pop star Taylor Swift, US President Donald Trump, Argentinian footballer Lionel Messi, actor Paul Rudd and Oscar-winning actress Anne Hathaway were among the A-list stars watching the 2025 Super Bowl in New Orleans.
Singer Swift was spotted in her suite at the Superdome, wearing a simple white tank top and denim shorts, about an hour before play began.
Trump made history on Sunday as the first sitting president to attend the Super Bowl, with the US leader spending a few minutes on the field before the game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles began, before heading to a suite of his own.
He was greeted with a mix of cheers and boos from fans.

The president entered the field via a tunnel at the Chiefs’ end, greeting first responders and victims of the New Year’s Day attack in New Orleans’ French Quarter.
Ant-Man actor Rudd, a long-time Kansas City Chiefs supporter, was seen covering his face during what was a tough watch for fans of the team.
Actress Hathaway was spotted wearing the green of the Philadelphia Eagles, who emerged as the winners with a 40-22 victory.
Jay-Z was at the game with his daughters Blue Ivy and Rumi.
The Beatles’ Sir Paul McCartney, actors Kevin Hart and Rob Lowe, and comedian Shane Gillis were also in attendance.
