Donald Trump appeared to aim a dig at Taylor Swift as he welcomed the Philadelphia Eagles to the White House.
Back in February, Super Bowl LIX between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs took place at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Thanks to touchdowns from the likes of Jalen Hurts, Cooper DeJean, AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith, the Eagles came away 40-22 winners.

On Monday, the Eagles squad arrived at the White House to celebrate their victory over the Chiefs.
During his speech, Trump took the opportunity to aim a brutal dig at Swift, who is currently dating Chiefs star Travis Kelce.
As reported by Page Six, the President said: "I was there along with Taylor Swift."
"How did that work out?” he asked rhetorically, as the crowd laughed. He repeated, “How did that one work out?”
Back in June 2024, Trump labelled Swift as 'beautiful' but went on to question her political views.
He said to author Ramin Setoodeh for his book 'Apprentice in Wonderland: How Donald Trump and Mark Burnett Took America Through the Looking Glass': "I think she’s beautiful — very beautiful! I find her very beautiful.
"I think she’s liberal. She probably doesn’t like Trump. I hear she’s very talented. I think she’s very beautiful, actually — unusually beautiful!"
Trump continued: "But she is liberal, or is that just an act?
"She’s legitimately liberal? It’s not an act? It surprises me that a country star can be successful being liberal."
During the last US election, Swift sided with Trump's opponent, Kamala Harris, she said: "I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos."
In the end, Trump earned a second term as President after beating Harris by winning 312 electoral votes compared to his opponent's 226.
