The Philadelphia Eagles' decisive 40-22 Super Bowl LIX victory over the Kansas City Chiefs resulted in not one but two trolls.
Philadelphia's win ended Kansas City's quest for a three-peat and also led to a subtle postgame troll referencing popstar Taylor Swift, who is dating Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and was in attendance.
The Eagles captioned their post-win graphic with "In our winning era," a nod to Swift's international "The Eras Tour," which concluded in December.
Swift, born and raised in southeastern Pennsylvania, has previously discussed her own roots as an Eagles fan.

A face familiar to Philadelphia fans made sure to troll, too: former Eagles quarterback Nick Foles, who started the franchise's previous Super Bowl victory in 2018.
Foles threw for 373 yards and three touchdowns in a 41-33 win over Tom Brady and the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LII. Foles was on the receiving end of the "Philly Special" trick play, catching a touchdown pass from tight end Trey Burton near the end of the first half. On the other hand, Brady had dropped a pass that was intended for him from wide receiver Danny Amendola earlier in the second quarter.
Brady was part of Fox's broadcasting crew for Super Bowl LIX on Sunday, prompting Foles to poke fun at the fact that the former Patriots quarterback witnessed both of the Eagles' two championship titles in person.
It's really cool that Tom Brady got to be there for the Eagles' two Super Bowl wins! He might be a good luck charm.

Have a great night!
Philadelphia defeated the Chiefs behind a stellar defense, holding Kansas City scoreless in the first half while building a 24-0 advantage. The Chiefs trailed for 51:15, the most amount of time they've trailed in any playoff game started by quarterback Patrick Mahomes, according to ESPN Research.
