U.S. President Donald Trump will attend the Super Bowl, the National Football League (NFL) championship game, as the first sitting president.
On the 4th (local time), the U.S. Secret Service (SS), which is responsible for presidential security, announced that President Trump is scheduled to attend the 59th Super Bowl between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles on the 9th at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Anthony Guglielmi, spokesperson for the Secret Service, noted, "Extensive plans and coordination have been made to ensure the safety of all attendees, players, and staff," adding, "As this is the first event attended by a sitting U.S. president, security measures have been significantly enhanced."
There is immediate interest in whether President Trump will "encounter" the current U.S. top pop star Taylor Swift at the event. Swift is expected to be at the stadium to support her boyfriend, football player Travis Kelce (Kansas City).
Swift publicly supported former Vice President Kamala Harris, who was Trump's opponent, back in September before last year's election. At that time, Trump remarked, "(Swift) will probably pay a price in the market," showing his displeasure.
