In the aftermath of the Kansas City Chiefs' loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX on Feb. 9, 2025, a rumor that U.S. President Donald Trump blamed diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and pop music superstar Taylor Swift for the Chiefs' 18-point loss circulated on social media.
