While most of America gears up for football season or the latest Taylor Swift album drop, Donald Trump is once again stirring the pot—this time targeting the pop icon with another bizarre online rant.
And though Taylor Swift’s boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce, is firmly in her corner, he’s not looking to fan the flames.
Trump Takes a Swipe at Swift on Truth Social
On Monday morning, Trump took to his Truth Social platform to post a head-scratching message.
In it, he praised actress Sydney Sweeney for her American Eagle ad campaign, then pivoted to take a jab at Taylor Swift, saying she’s “no longer hot” and blaming her political views for a supposed fall from grace.
Trump’s post wasn’t just about Swift’s looks—it was part of a longer tirade in which he called her “woke,” claimed she was booed at the Super Bowl, and once again reminded everyone of his long-standing disdain for her.
He even ended with his signature sign-off: “Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
Taylor Has Always Been Clear on Her Politics
Swift’s history of political commentary is no secret.
Over the years, she’s spoken out against Trump and his administration.
From supporting Hillary Clinton in 2016 to backing Biden and Harris in the 2020 and 2024 elections, she’s made her stance loud and clear.
She famously called Trump out during the height of the Black Lives Matter protests, accusing him of fueling racism and white supremacy.
And in interviews, she hasn’t shied away from describing him as authoritarian.
Kelce Is Supporting Swift, But Quietly
So where does Travis Kelce fit into all this? While he hasn’t said anything publicly about Trump’s latest rant, sources say he’s firmly on Swift’s side—but choosing to take the high road for now.
“Travis and Taylor are totally aligned privately,” an insider told the Daily Mail.
“He’s supporting her with love and respect, but he’s not going to engage with Trump publicly. He’d rather let it blow over than give it attention.”
Kelce reportedly finds Trump’s comments frustrating but prefers to keep those conversations between himself, Swift, and close family members.
The NFL Star Is Walking a Careful Line
Kelce’s decision to stay silent might also be strategic.
His teammate and close friend Patrick Mahomes has shown support for Trump in the past, and Mahomes’ wife Brittany has liked several pro-Trump posts on social media.
Some of the Chiefs’ leadership—including the Hunt family—have a track record of donating to conservative causes.
With pre-season about to kick off, Kelce is trying to avoid stirring up tension in the locker room or within team ownership.
The goal? Keep the focus on football, not politics.
Not Everyone Around Kelce Is Team Trump
Interestingly, not everyone in Kelce’s orbit leans conservative.
His sister-in-law Kylie Kelce, who’s married to his brother Jason, has made no secret of her liberal values.
She even landed Michelle Obama for her podcast Not Gonna Lie, which recently topped podcast charts and beat out Trump-aligned host Joe Rogan.
Kylie’s political leanings offer a sharp contrast to others in the Chiefs’ world—like kicker Harrison Butker, a vocal Trump supporter who recently appeared with the former president at a White House event.
Trump’s Strange Obsession with Swift Isn’t New
Trump’s fixation on Swift’s popularity—and appearance—has been going on for months.
Back in May, he bizarrely asked whether anyone else had noticed that she was “no longer hot” since he said he hated her.
He also blamed her Super Bowl reception on his public disapproval, claiming she was “booed out” of the stadium.
Why Kelce Isn’t Clapping Back
Despite all the noise, Kelce’s not planning a big public rebuttal.
According to the source, he believes Taylor is more than capable of speaking for herself if needed.
“He knows how strong she is,” the insider said. “If anyone’s going to say something publicly, he’d prefer it be her.
He’s not interested in turning this into a political showdown.”
What Happens Next?
For now, Swift and Kelce are keeping their heads down.
With football season approaching and Swift’s career as busy as ever, they’re choosing peace over drama.
But as Trump continues to post, it remains to be seen whether Swift will respond—or let her silence do the talking.
