Serena Williams Avoided Taylor Swift at the Super Bowl for One Important Reason

Serena Williams on the 2025 Oscars after party red carpet wearing a dolce & Gabbana dress.

The 2025 Super Bowl was a big day for... well, for the players on the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs, but also for Taylor Swift and Serena Williams. Swift was at the game rooting for her boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, and Williams made a surprise appearance during Kendrick Lamar's halftime show, crip walking to his song "Not Like Us". Williams' daughter, Olympia, was also at the event and was after one thing: a Taylor Swift autograph. Unfortunately for the seven-year-old, her mother had a good reason to decide it wasn't the time or the place.

Williams was just named one of the 100 Most Influential People of 2025 by Time, and in a profile of her for the magazine, she talked about her experience at the Super Bowl, including avoiding Swift.
