A woman recently went viral on Instagram and TikTok after revealing that she had officially filed for divorce. Her reason? Her husband booed Taylor Swift during the Super Bowl.
While nearly 50% of marriages in the United States end in divorce, this case is certainly unique. The woman, Louisa Melcher, took to social media to share a video of herself filing the paperwork and explaining why she was ending her marriage.
“I’m divorcing my husband because he booed Taylor Swift,” she stated in the video, holding up her divorce papers as proof.
According to Louisa, she and her husband attended the Super Bowl together with five of his friends. During the event, the stadium’s big screen showed Taylor Swift, who was there to support her boyfriend, Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs. As the cameras panned to her, a large section of the crowd started booing, and to her shock, her husband joined in.
“I was heartbroken,” she said. “I’ve been a Taylor Swift fan since I was 12 years old. My husband has always liked her music too. We would even play her songs together while doing house chores. His favorite song is ‘Girl at Home.’”
Louisa explained that her husband’s behavior felt like a betrayal. She believes he only did it to impress his friends and fit in with the crowd.
“I think he just wanted to look cool in front of his buddies, which is unbelievable,” she said. “He didn’t consider how much it would hurt my feelings. It wasn’t just about Taylor Swift—it was about respect and support in our marriage.”
As she showed her signed divorce papers, she pointed out that the date of separation was the same day as the Super Bowl. “Thankfully, I have a prenup,” she added with a smirk.
Her video quickly sparked a massive debate online. Some people supported her decision, arguing that a partner should respect what their significant other loves, and that the booing was a sign of deeper incompatibility. Others, however, questioned whether she was being serious or simply making a satirical joke. Many of her followers noted that her content often leans towards humor, making it difficult to tell if she was truly ending her marriage.
“This is either the pettiest or the most iconic divorce in history,” one user commented.
“I don’t know if she’s joking or not, but honestly, I respect her commitment to the bit,” another wrote.
Whether real or just for laughs, Louisa’s story has certainly grabbed attention. If true, this might be one of the most unusual reasons for a divorce the internet has ever seen. Regardless, it has sparked a conversation about personal values, respect in relationships, and just how deep someone’s love for Taylor Swift can truly go.
