Serena Williams<\/b><\/a> revealed that she wanted to see <\/span>Taylor Swift<\/b><\/a> during <\/span>Super Bowl LIX<\/span><\/a>, though ultimately avoided her for a specific reason.<\/p>\n While talking to Time<\/span><\/i><\/a> in an interview published on Wednesday, April 16, Serena, 43, explained that she and her husband, <\/span>Alexis Ohanian<\/b>, hoped to take their eldest daughter, Olympia, to meet Taylor, 35, in her suite at Caesar\u2019s Superdome in Las Vegas. The \u201cEnchanted\u201d singer was at the game to support boyfriend <\/span>Travis Kelce<\/b>, who plays for the Kansas City Chiefs.<\/p>\n However, Serena said that she decided to not bother Taylor once the Philadelphia Eagles began to dominate the Chiefs during the game. The Eagles eventually won the game, which ruined the Chiefs\u2019 chances of becoming the first team to win three consecutive Super Bowls.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m such a mom,\u201d Serena told the outlet. \u201cI was ready to go in here myself and be like, \u2018Taylor, come get this girl.’\u201d<\/p>\n However, Serena noted that \u201cit\u2019s hard when your team is losing\u201d and seeing Taylor stressed out made her not want to ask for an autograph. \u201cI totally get it,\u201d she added of Taylor\u2019s nerves.<\/p>\n In addition to revealing why she avoided Taylor at the game, Serena also reflected on fans booing the \u201cI Knew You Were Trouble\u201d singer<\/a> when she was featured on the jumbotron. \u201cWhy would you boo her? That\u2019s so mean,\u201d Serena asked. \u201cThat\u2019s just awful.\u201d<\/p>\n After Taylor was booed during the February 9 game, Serena took to X to show her support for the \u201cIt\u2019s Nice to Have a Friend\u201d singer. \u201cI love you @taylorswift 13 don\u2019t listen to those booo!!\u201d she wrote at the time.<\/p>\n While Travis, 35, and his teammates didn\u2019t secure the victory, it seems that he and Taylor are enjoying their time together during the offseason. The pair is used to publicly supporting each other at their work events, though they have opted to keep things more low-key in recent months and have remained mostly out of the spotlight except for the occasional dinner date night.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s been a dream period<\/a> that\u2019s only solidified that they\u2019re on the same page about their future,\u201d a source exclusively told Life & Style<\/em> about their private time, adding that Taylor and Travis are currently planning their \u201cnext steps\u201d together and are \u201camping up wedding discussions.\u201d<\/p>\n The insider shared, \u201cTaylor and Travis\u2019 time out of the limelight has given them a taste of what life will be like when they\u2019re married, not promoting anything, and not on anyone\u2019s radar.\u201d<\/p>\n In fact, staying out of the spotlight has even strengthened their relationship. \u201cThey already knew how compatible they were, but this break away from everything has allowed them to grow closer and be even more certain,\u201d the source said.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s just proven they\u2019re a solid team<\/a> and can weather anything together,\u201d the insider continued, noting that they have remained by each other\u2019s sides amid highs and lows in their careers and personal lives.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the source said they can now focus on \u201cthe fun part\u201d<\/span><\/a> of \u201ca wedding, a honeymoon and the start of the rest of <\/span>their lives as a married couple<\/span><\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
