The drama between Donald Trump and Taylor Swift has just taken a new turn — and NFL star Travis Kelce is caught right in the middle.
A source close to the Kansas City Chiefs tight end revealed to the Daily Mail that Kelce is absolutely seething after the former president launched a fresh verbal attack on his pop star girlfriend.
Trump’s Unexpected Dig at Taylor Swift
While flying back to the US from Saudi Arabia last Friday, Trump posted a strange message on his Truth Social platform, targeting Taylor Swift in a way that surprised even Kelce.
Trump claimed that ever since he said “I hate Taylor Swift,” she has “no longer [been] hot.”
This latest jab is just the newest in a series of barbs Trump has thrown Taylor’s way, especially since she publicly backed Joe Biden in the 2020 election.
Kelce’s Anger and How He Plans to Handle It
The source explained that Travis Kelce is furious about the attack but doesn’t want to escalate things by responding publicly.
Instead, he plans to channel that anger into motivation as he heads into NFL training camp this summer.
“Travis can’t say anything publicly because it would just open another can of worms,” the insider shared.
“But he wants to protect Taylor and stick up for her, so he’s finding ways to get it out of his system quietly.”
The Potential Impact on Close Friendships Within the Chiefs Circle
Adding another layer to the story, Trump’s comments could complicate the close-knit friendships among Kelce, Taylor, and the Chiefs’ power couple Patrick and Brittany Mahomes.
Since Taylor and Travis started dating in 2023, Taylor and Brittany have grown quite close, spending time together at games, vacations, and nights out.
Interestingly, Brittany has expressed public support for Trump — though she hasn’t formally endorsed him — while Kelce remains close friends with Patrick Mahomes.
Thankfully, the insider reassured that, for now, the political differences aren’t causing drama within the team.
“They don’t talk about politics around each other,” the source said.
But Travis “hates that Taylor has to be dragged into these conversations, especially by someone who’s supposed to be protecting all Americans. It’s really frustrating for him.”
Taylor Swift’s Ongoing Legal Drama Adds Pressure
This attack comes at a tricky time for Taylor, who’s already embroiled in a tense legal battle involving her former close friend Blake Lively and actor Justin Baldoni.
Recently, shocking legal documents were revealed that suggest Lively allegedly tried to pressure Taylor into publicly supporting her by threatening to leak private texts between them.
This revelation reportedly ended a decade-long friendship.
Taylor’s team responded strongly after she was subpoenaed last week, making it clear she had no involvement with the movie at the center of the dispute.
Her publicist said, “Taylor Swift never set foot on the set, didn’t help with casting or creative decisions, didn’t see the film until after it was released.”
What’s Next for Kelce and Swift?
With so much drama unfolding — from political jabs to personal legal battles — Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are navigating a challenging spotlight.
While Kelce chooses to stay silent publicly and focus on football, it’s clear that the tension is very real behind the scenes.
Fans will be watching closely to see how this all plays out in the months ahead.
