SCOTTISH tennis star Andy Murray sent a tongue-in-cheek message to pop superstar Taylor Swift for “winning” the Super Bowl.
The singer has hit the headlines in recent months for her appearances at NFL games ever since she started dating Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce.
The Chiefs triumphed 25-22 over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday in a tightly-contested match.
However, since the beginning of their relationship, the NFL has been keen to promote the fact that the pop singer has been attending games, with cameras regularly cutting to her reaction of what’s happening and following her as she enters stadiums.
The organisation was even previously forced to defend its focus on the relationship, describing it as a “pop-cultural moment”.
Ever the joker, two-time Wimbledon champion Murray sent a message to Swift on Twitter/X riffing on the controversy.
He said: “Congratulations to @taylorswift13 on winning Super Bowl 58. A stunning performance.”
Many were left in stitches at Murray’s comments, with people commenting with laughing emojis and clapping hands.

“I do love Andy Murray,” said another user while somebody else added: “How can you not love Andy Murray.”
“Totally awesome as usual,” a third person commented.
It’s not the first time this past week that the former world number one has left people in stitches.
He previously took part in a fake tennis reality show which suggested that the entire season was based on a script.
Never change Andy. Never change.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
