The Chiefs tight and Taylor’s boyfriend is facing outrage from Swifties after his comments on President Trump
Travis Kelce is making headlines ahead of Super Bowl LIX. The Kansas City Chiefs’ star tight end is facing backlash from Taylor Swift fans after his comments to Donald Trump’s planned attendance at Sunday’s championship game.
During a media day interview on Wednesday, Kelce was asked about the former president’s presence at the highly anticipated matchup. His response quickly sparked controversy, drawing strong reactions from Swift’s devoted fan base.
“It’s a great honor” Kelce replied. “I think, you know, no matter who the president is, I know I’m excited because it’s the biggest game of my life, you know, and having the president there, it’s the best country in the world. So, that’d be pretty cool.”
Swifties call for Taylor to leave Travis
Taylor Swift’s passionate fan base wasted no time reacting to Travis Kelce’s response regarding Donald Trump’s upcoming Super Bowl appearance. Many expressed their frustration and disappointment, with some even calling for Swift to end her relationship with the Kansas City Chiefs tight end.
One fan voiced their outrage on social media, writing, “@eagles all the way on Sunday. Even more love for them now that orange lunatic will be there. Travis Kelce is an orange lover. No respect left for him. How can Swift stay with him? Every Trump lover is a guy I don’t like in my books.”
Another fan referenced the Philadelphia Eagles’ history with Trump, stating, “Disappointed bc in 2018 The Eagles didn’t make their players go and because so many declined, Trump then uninvited the team. Considering Kelce has spoken about social justice as a white man, this is disappointing.”
A third fan reminded others of Swift’s previous stance on Trump, writing, “Friendly reminder that Taylor Swift said ‘f*** that, I don’t care’ when Trump said he’d come after her. I’m sorry, but Travis Kelce could have said the same thing.”
Taylor Swift vs Donald Trump tensions
The longstanding tension between Taylor Swift and Donald Trump has been building for years. Once known for staying out of politics, Swift made waves in 2018 when she broke her silence by endorsing Democratic candidates in Tennessee—a move that Trump publicly didn’t like at the time.
Their feud reignited last year when speculation arose about Swift’s potential influence in the 2024 election. Trump didn’t hold back, lashing out at the pop star and later posting his now-infamous “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT” rant, cementing his status as a vocal critic and solidifying his position as an adversary of Swift’s devoted fan base.
