The newly minted 14-time Grammy winner, 34, allegedly got the embattled “Heartless” rapper, 46, booted from Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas after learning he’d bought seats in front of her suite for the showdown between her boyfriend Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers.
“Typical Kanye. Taylor Swift gets pissed off – she boom-boom makes a call or two. Everybody’s involved. He gets kicked out the stadium,” Brandon Marshall, formerly of the Denver Broncos, Miami Dolphins and New York Jets, said on his Paper Route podcast.

“He was trying to leverage her celebrity … So now you gotta go back to the beef. You know, him cutting her off,’” said the 39-year-old athlete, referencing Swift accepting the award for best video by a female artist at the 2009 VMAs, during which West infamously interrupted her speech and told the world the award should have gone to pal Beyoncé.
It’s unclear how Marshall heard about West’s alleged intentions, or whether Swift was really responsible for booting him from the stadium before her boyfriend’s team won the Super Bowl in overtime.
West and his wife, Bianca Censori, were reportedly photographed at the game, with West wearing a face covering featuring a white crucifix.
Speaking to TMZ on Monday, West spoke in “a pretty lukewarm manner” when mentioning Swift during a rant about musicians’ relationships with streaming platforms, but did not say anything about being told to leave his Super Bowl seats or Allegiant Stadium entirely.
