Taylor Swift-themed restaurant draws fans for Super Bowl

Philadelphia football fans were excited for the Super Bowl on Sunday night, and of course, so were some Swifties!

"People love love, so it’s been bringing Taylor Swift fans in and football fans," explained Juliana Giammarinaro, the assistant general manager at Taqueria Amor in Manayunk.

As the countdown to kick-off began on Sunday, people made their way to Taqueria Amor for a pre-game before the big game.

The Mexican restaurant is in their Taylor Swift love era. Its interior is decked out from top to bottom, wall to wall with all things Taylor Swift.

"It’s basically our Valentine’s Day pop-up, Taylor’s version – celebrating Taylor, her new relationship, the Super Bowl, and the football aspect as well," said Giammarinaro.

It was a perfect spot to gear up for the game, fans said.

"I support Taylor Swift in anything she loves, so that means I love Travis Kelce," said Leighann Framptom from West Reading.

The Taylor Swift love-inspired theme will likely be up through the end of February, but they may extend it because of how well it’s been doing.

As the game began, many fans packed Chickie’s & Pete’s in South Philadelphia to watch Super Bowl LVIII.

Some were rooting for the 49ers, and others were rooting for the Chiefs.

"I’m feeling hyped. Our boys came to play. Mahomes secret weapon and I’m here for it," said Ashley Turner from Kansas City.

"I’m a big 49ers fan, we’re gonna take it all the way, we’ve been here before," said Gerald White from Camden, New Jersey.

People said they loved the energy at Chickie’s & Pete’s, saying it was the perfect place to watch the big game.

And even though they weren’t in the Super Bowl, Eagles fans still showed some love for the Birds.

"I bleed green all day, Eagles all the way," said Paulisha Lee from South Philadelphia.

At the end of the game, the Chiefs came out on top, winning their second straight Super Bowl. They defeated the 49ers 25-22 in overtime.

Chiefs fans in Chickie’s & Pete’s celebrated the epic win, already talking about a possible third victory next year.
