President Donald Trump is scheduled to make an appearance at the Super Bowl in New Orleans on Sunday for a highly anticipated matchup that will see the Kansas City Chiefs battle the Philadelphia Eagles at the Caesars Superdome.

Trump's presence and scheduled pre-game interview with Fox News are drawing considerable media attention, as he will be the first sitting president to attend the big face-off, as The Hill reports.

The Chiefs are setting their sights on achieving a historic third consecutive Super Bowl victory. Trump was quick to congratulate the Chiefs following their success in the AFC championship. However, he opted to make no comment on the Eagles' triumph in the NFC championship game.

Trump to Engage in Pre-Game Media

Adding to the day's events, Trump is also set to engage in a pre-game interview with Fox News anchor Bret Baier. This interview will air on Sunday and continues the recent tradition of the sitting president discussing with the network broadcasting the game.

Notably, former President Joe Biden bypassed this tradition over the past couple of years, and Trump himself declined an interview with NBC News in the past.

Moreover, Trump's participation in sporting events has been notable. Back in September, he attended a football game between the University of Alabama and the University of Georgia. As the Super Bowl gears up, Fox Sports projects it will amass tens of millions of viewers globally, creating a significant platform for both the game and Trump's interview.

One of the entertainment highlights of the event will be the halftime performance by Kendrick Lamar. Fresh off his recent Grammy accolades, Lamar is expected to deliver an electrifying show.

The buzz around the performance complements an already exciting Super Bowl lineup.

Controversies and Unconfirmed Attendees Stir Drama

A touch of controversy looms over the event as Trump's previous decision to cancel a White House visit from the Eagles resurfaces in light of their current participation.

This decision came during his first term when certain players chose to boycott the visit.

Meanwhile, Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has previously played golf with former President Barack Obama, describing him as an “all-time leader.”

In contrast, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has abstained from endorsing Trump or Vice President Harris in the 2024 political race. However, Mahomes' wife, Brittany, has been vocal in her online support for Trump.

Her actions included endorsing posts that promote "Trump-Vance 2024," earning her public gratitude from Trump himself. The dynamic surrounding political endorsements in the football world seems to be mirrored in the pop music scene.

Taylor Swift Joins Super Bowl Scene

Famed singer Taylor Swift has confirmed her attendance at the Super Bowl, intending to support her partner, Chiefs' tight end Travis Kelce. In the political arena, Swift has endorsed Harris as recently as September.

In the past, Swift and Trump have had tension, with Trump responding negatively to her endorsement. This has been fueled further by Swift's past criticism of derogatory comments made by Vance about Democrats, adding another layer of intrigue to the unfolding story.

Swift's endorsement was notably signed with the moniker "Childless Cat Lady," marking a unique footnote to her political and personal stances. Her presence at the Super Bowl adds a layer of celebrity interest to the event, blending the world of sports, music, and politics.

As Sunday approaches, all eyes are on the Caesars Superdome, where the clash between the Chiefs and Eagles will captivate audiences. Trump's involvement, whether through attendance or his Fox News interview, promises to place his political and personal stakes in the spotlight.

Whether the Chiefs can maintain their winning streak or if the Eagles will rise to victory remains to be seen. The added elements of high-profile interviews, celebrity appearances, and performances amplify the event's significance. As the game draws near, anticipation and curiosity about Trump's role and the broader implications continue to build.
