Count President Donald Trump among those who have weighed in on the engagement of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.
Trump was made aware of the engagement between the pop star and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end during a cabinet meeting on Tuesday. His response to the news?
‘Well, I wish them a lot of luck,’ Trump said. ‘I think he’s a great player, a great guy. I think she’s a terrific person. So, I wish them a lot of luck.’
Trump’s praise of Swift is a marked contrast to his mentions of her over the last year. After Swift endorsed Kamala Harris’ 2024 presidential campaign, Trump posted ‘I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!’ on his Truth Social platform.
In May, Trump doubled down on those comments posting, ‘Has anyone noticed that, since I said ‘I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,’ she’s no longer ‘HOT?”
Neither Kelce nor Swift have yet responded to Trump’s most recent comments wishing them well.
Kelce and Swift have been romantically linked since 2023. They began dating shortly after Kelce made romantic overtures to Swift in an episode of his ‘New Heights’ podcast, and Swift has been a staple at Chiefs games ever since.
The two announced their engagement Tuesday in a collaborative Instagram post.
‘Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,’ Swift’s caption for the post read.
