Travis Kelce is playing in the Super Bowl LIX on Sunday, February 9, in New Orleans, where Donald Trump is expected to attend.
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end recently told reporters he is “honored” that the President of the United States would attend the big NFL game at the Caesars Superdome.
“It’s a great honor, I think, no matter who the president is,” Kelce told reporters, according to Reuters. “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 it’d be pretty cool.”
Kelce has been in a relationship with Taylor Swift, who has been attacked publicly by Trump. Swift famously endorsed Kamala Harris during the 2024 presidential election. Days after the endorsement, Trump took to social media and claimed, “I hate Taylor Swift.”
Before expressing his “hate” for the “Bejeweled” singer, Trump had “accepted” an AI-generated endorsement featuring Swift.
In a follow-up interview on Fox & Friends, Trump said of Swift, “I was not a Taylor Swift fan. It was just a question of time. You couldn’t possibly endorse Biden… But she’s a very liberal person. She seems to always endorse a Democrat, and she’ll probably pay a price for it in the marketplace.”
Swift is expected to attend the Super Bowl in New Orleans to show her support to Kelce and the Chiefs.
Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs will face off against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. Although Trump might not be a fan of Swift, Trump has many other supporters within the Chiefs organization.
Patrick Mahomes’ wife, Brittany Mahomes, is a vocal Trump supporter, which Trump acknowledged in the same interview with Fox News, saying, “That’s the one I like much better than Taylor Swift.”
The Chiefs’ quarterback also weighed in on Trump attending the big game, saying, “It’s always cool to be able to play in front of a sitting president. Someone that is at the top position in our country.”
Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker is also a Trump supporter and publicly endorsed him during the 2024 presidential campaign.
It’s well known that PDJT is a germophobe.
I doubt DJT hates Tae Tae
What does that have to do with this?
I like the chiefs but get sick of seeing the tv show her every time something happens.
Funny libish gf is big Chiefs fan (Kelce and Mahomes) hates Butker and always has some snide comment when we watch, but chastises me for saying who gives a crap about Taylor Swift (plus I can’t stand her music and the fact they try and call her a country singer now and then). Can’t wait to show her the Mahomes and Kelce comments and see what she says.
I have often wondered who could afford the price of seats there. Not many poor folks in attendance, I’ll bet.
just kidding. I don't know a single Swift song.
Taylor Swift has way too much trouble on her hands desperately trying to stay out of the Justin Baldoni / Blake Lively lawsuit to be picking a fight with Donald Trump.
“I like the chiefs but get sick of seeing the tv show her every time something happens.”
Same here.
Nothing makes football better than a heavy dose of politics. :-/
I don’t like taylor swift or her music- but lets be honest- has she ever said she hated President Trump?? I know she tweeted she was voting for the whore, but unlike other celebs i never heard her go off on rants against DJT.
How much does she half to worry about that. It’s an annoyance, but she has enough money it’s nothing more than that.
Pro football is as fake as pro wrestling these days.
<>Trump took to social media and claimed, “I hate Taylor Swift.”<>
This doesn’t sound like PDJT. We should see his post to social media before believing.
It’s tough. My Eagles are in the SB but the owner is an A-hole Anti-Trump because of “racism” and pro-kneeling. He says his team won’t go to WH if they win. Individual players did last time. On the flip side the Chiefs have a good ownership, pro Trump players and aren’t woke. What is one to do?
Maybe she’ll soon break up with him - plenty of material for her trademark breakup songs.
If a person can be judged by the company they keep...
Mr. Pfizer and Amber Heard 2.0...
Well, Ms. Swift, you flunked that test.
> This doesn’t sound like PDJT. We should see his post to social media before believing.
I'm pretty sure he said it, but in context and tone of voice he clearly did NOT mean it literally. I think it was his (inadvisable) way of expressing his distaste for her choice in politics and candidates to endorse.
Swift wisely stayed out of politics for many years, but once she got to the "FU Money" level, she went hard Left. It was a shame, really.
If Travis was injured how long do you think Taylor would stick around. I doubt very long at all.
MSM still trying to create controversy.......
