Woman divorces husband for booing Taylor Swift at Super Bowl

Louisa Melcher, a 28-year-old woman, recently filed for divorce after her husband booed Taylor Swift during the Super Bowl on February 9, 2025. The incident occurred when cameras focused on Swift, who was supporting her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, during the game at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans. As Swift was booed by the crowd, Melcher’s husband joined in, leading her to make the drastic decision to end their marriage.

In a viral video filmed after allegedly filing her divorce paperwork, Melcher explained that her decision was not solely based on the booing itself, but on the deeper issues it revealed about their relationship. “I’m not just doing this because of the action of booing; I am doing this because of everything that it represents in our relationship,” she said.

Melcher elaborated that she had been a long-time Swift fan, and her husband, who had grown to enjoy her music, had always supported Swift. The act of booing, according to Melcher, exposed a profound lack of respect for her feelings. She expressed disappointment that her husband, instead of standing by her, chose to fit in with his friends by booing Swift. “He just wanted to fit in with his boys. He didn’t care that it would hurt my feelings,” she said.

For Melcher, the incident exposed her husband’s immaturity. “That’s not a man, that’s a boy,” she remarked, adding that it was a character flaw she could no longer ignore.

Reactions to Melcher’s decision have been mixed. Some expressed support, while others criticized the decision as an overreaction, suggesting that her husband’s behavior was a result of peer pressure rather than genuine disdain for Swift. Regardless, Melcher confirmed she would retain her assets, thanks to a prenup she had in place.
