Swift & Kelce vs. Trump: A Love Story Amid Political Tensions
Taylor Swift's Boyfriend Travis Kelce Takes a Diplomatic Approach to Trump's Latest Slap
The drama between President Donald Trump and pop sensation Taylor Swift just got a whole lot juicier! The 45th President of the United States has once again taken a swipe at the 14-time Grammy winner, calling her "no longer hot" in a bizarre rant on his Truth Social platform. But while Swift herself isn't one to shy away from clapping back at Trump, her boyfriend Travis Kelce is taking a diplomatic approach – or so claims an insider close to the couple.
As the Kansas City Chiefs tight end has historically kept his political views private, it's no surprise that he'd want to steer clear of getting tangled up in the drama between him and his teammate Patrick Mahomes, who are both known to be fans of the President. However, sources reveal that Kelce is secretly supporting Swift every step of the way.
"Taylor knows exactly how Travis feels about this situation with Trump, and privately they're on the same page," a source spilled to The Scholarly Note. "He's supporting her with continued love and respect, but publicly, he's going to let Trump be a sandbag and let it slide by – for now."
It seems Kelce is choosing to take the high road, not wanting to extend the conversation or give it any more substance than necessary. And why would he want to? After all, with the NFL pre-season just around the corner, Kelce has more pressing matters on his mind – like leading the Chiefs to victory.
But while Kelce may be keeping a low profile when it comes to Trump's latest jab at Swift, other members of his tight-knit family aren't so reserved. His sister-in-law Kylie Kelce, who's married to his older brother Jason, has been open about her left-leaning views and even had former First Lady Michelle Obama as a guest on her popular podcast, Not Gonna Lie.
The contrast between Kelce's diplomatic approach and the outspoken views of his family members couldn't be more stark. But then again, it's no secret that the NFL is a conservative stronghold – with many players and owners sporting "Make America Great Again" hats and bumper stickers. Even Chiefs chairman and CEO Clark Hunt has been accused of having close ties to Trump, having donated nearly $1 million to mostly conservative candidates over the years.
Meanwhile, Swift herself has been taking a strong stance against Trump for years. In 2019, she revealed in an interview with The Guardian that she had supported Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election and even accused Trump of treating the presidency like "an autocracy." More recently, she publicly endorsed Kamala Harris in the 2024 election.
It's no surprise then that Trump would take a shot at Swift – but it's still surprising to see him fixate on her appearance. In a bizarre post last May, he claimed that since he'd said "I hate Taylor Swift," she was no longer "hot." And let's be real, folks – that's just plain creepy.
As the drama between Trump and Swift continues to unfold, one thing is clear: Kelce may be keeping his head down for now, but it's only a matter of time before he weighs in on the conversation. After all, as the saying goes – you can't keep a good man (or woman) down!
