Even before the Super Bowl championship started, Lindsey Vonn expressed her support for the 49ers by unveiling her limited edition goggles that featured a shade of the team’s colors. The release of these goggles was aimed at promoting women’s empowerment and was one of her many philanthropic efforts. She chose red for the goggles, adding that “red is the color of the @49ers!! LFG!” However, the game was not the only thing that got her excited! Taylor Swift caught the attention of the Alpine skier.

Vonn thrilled about Taylor Swift

Lindsey Vonn took a moment to cherish Taylor Swift’s presence at the Super Bowl. While Vonn was supporting the 49ers, Taylor Swift was vouching for the Chiefs to support her boyfriend Travis Kelce. The singer was repeatedly shown on the big screens of Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium and the cameras caught her winning from what appeared to be a beer-chugging contest.

During the first half of the game, she and her friend, designer Ashley Avignone, wasted no time chugging their drinks. As soon as Swift was finished, the singer slammed her empty cup in victory. Vonn posted a screenshot of the pop singer featured on the high-definition 58-feet LED display screen during the game, calling Swift “my kinda woman.”
