President Trump Weighs In On Taylor Swift’s Engagement To NFL Star Travis Kelce

It appears President Trump has had a change of heart when it comes to Taylor Swift.

While answering questions from the press during his Cabinet meeting, the 47th President was asked his reaction to Taylor Swift’s engagement to NFL player Travis Kelce.

Trump responded by saying Swift was a “nice person” and he wishes her and Kelce good luck.

Trump previously posted on Truth Social that he hated Swift after she endorsed Kamala Harris in the 2024 election.

The Hill covered Trump’s remarks on Swift’s engagement:

President Trump weighed in on Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s engagement Tuesday, changing his tune on the superstar singer he has publicly bashed in the past.
The news of their engagement broke while Trump held an hours-long, marathon Cabinet meeting, after which a reporter asked the president for his reaction.

“Well, I wish them a lot of luck,” Trump said. “I think it’s — I think he’s a great player, I think he’s a great guy and I think that she’s a terrific person. So I wish them a lot of luck.”
Swift announced the engagement to her 280 million Instagram followers earlier Tuesday, sharing snapshots of her and Kelce embracing in a garden filled with flowers and showing off what appeared to be an engagement ring.
Trump has had harsher words for Swift in the past.

The president has repeatedly attacked Swift on Truth Social, saying he “hates” her and that she is “no longer HOT” in May. He also said in February that Swift was “booed out of the stadium” at the Super Bowl, when Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs lost to the Philadelphia Eagles.
Trump attended the Super Bowl and picked the Chiefs to win beforehand, praising quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany, saying at the time that “she’s a Trump fan.”

Look closely at Vice President JD Vance’s face as he heard the question:

You’ve got to love him.

ESPN reported more on the engagement that is breaking the internet:

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are “End Game.”

The pop superstar and the three-time Super Bowl champion took to social media to reveal they are engaged to be married.

“Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” the duo captioned a series of photos in a joint Instagram post, which garnered 1.2 million likes in its first 10 minutes.

The couple’s engagement comes on the heels of a romance that captivated football and pop culture fans alike since Week 3 of the 2023 NFL season.

In Dec. 2023, Swift reflected on the origin of her oft-dissected relationship with Kelce in an article for Time Magazine Person of the Year.

“This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell,” Swift told Time.

“We started hanging out right after that. So we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I’m grateful for, because we got to get to know each other. By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple. I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game? We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date.”

Proposing to your 14-time Grammy Award-winning girlfriend two weeks after she announces her new album on your podcast and the week before football season officially commences? So high school, indeed.
