TAYLOR Swift is used to being greeted by deafening cheers from thousands of adoring fans.
So the pop superstar was in for a surprise when she was met with a chorus of boos during a recent appearance.
The 36-year-old appeared on the big screen with a pre-recorded video message paying tribute to country music legend Alan Jackson at his farewell concert in Nashville.
But while many in the crowd cheered, others loudly booed as Taylor thanked the singer for his decades-long career.
In the message, she said: “Hey Alan, it’s Taylor. I just want to say thank you for your decades of unbelievable songwriting and your performances, and the ways that you’ve given so much to us, the fans.”
The mixed reaction was clearly audible as her message played.
Alan, who has sold more than 75 million records worldwide, is best known for hits including Chattahoochee, Livin’ on Love, Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning), It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere and Remember When.
Stars including Luke Bryan, Carrie Underwood, Lainey Wilson and Lee Ann Womack performed during the emotional farewell show.
Video tributes also poured in from Keith Urban, Zac Brown, Kenny Chesney and NASCAR legends Jeff Gordon and Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Alan is retiring after a 15-year battle with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a hereditary neurological condition that damages the nerves connecting the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body.
Taylor’s appearance came as rumours continued to swirl over her wedding to fiancé Travis Kelce, with the superstar believed to be tying the knot in New York on July 3.
Reports have claimed guests were asked to sign non-disclosure agreements when they received their save-the-date invitations, with the ceremony expected to take place at a huge venue such as an arena or museum.
