Travis Kelce is praising President Donald Trump’s plans to attend Super Bowl 59.
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end told a pool of reporters Wednesday that it is “pretty cool” that Trump is set to attend the two-time reigning champ’s big game against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.
“That’s awesome. It’s a great honor,” he told reporters, according to videos posted by multiple media outlets Wednesday. “I think, you know, no matter who the president is, I know I’m excited because it’s the biggest game of my life, you know, and having the president there, you know, it’s the best country in the world. So, that’d be pretty cool.”
But Kelce is the boyfriend of pop star Taylor Swift, whom Trump slammed late last year, even writing “I hate Taylor Swift” on Truth Social in September.

In September, Trump told Fox News he preferred the “Fortnight” singer’s friend Brittany Mahomes, the Kansas City businesswoman and wife of NFL quarterback Patrick Mahomes, over Swift.
Swift’s close friend Brittany Mahomes previously courted controversy when she liked and later unliked a post on Instagram that appeared to show her support on Instagram for Trump’s “2024 GOP Platform.” The post called for sealing the border, keeping “men out of women’s sports” and not funding schools that teach critical race theory.
Mahomes later seemingly doubled down on her opinion and criticized the haters. She also liked several comments that were pro-Trump on her Instagram.
“I actually like Mrs. Mahomes much better if you want to know the truth,” telling Fox that Brittany Mahomes is “a big Trump fan.” He told the network that he “was not a Taylor Swift fan. It was just a question of time. She couldn’t, you couldn’t, possibly endorse Biden” and added that “she’s a very liberal person.”
He continued, telling Fox News that Swift “seems to always endorse a Democrat” and “she’ll probably pay a price for it” in the marketplace, adding that he likes Brittany Mahomes and thinks she’s “great” and a “big MAGA fan.” Trump told the network he thinks the Kansas City Current co-owner is “terrific, not Taylor Swift.”
Taylor Swift previously endorsed former Vice President Harris over Trump
Trump’s comments came after Swift endorsed former Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz in the 2024 presidential election after the sole debate between Harris and Trump.
“Like many of you, I watched the debate tonight. If you haven’t already, now is a great time to do your research on the issues at hand and the stances these candidates take on the topics that matter to you the most. As a voter, I make sure to watch and read everything I can about their proposed policies and plans for this country,” Swift wrote.
She continued: “Recently I was made aware that AI of ‘me’ falsely endorsing Donald Trump’s presidential run was posted to his site. It really conjured up my fears around AI, and the dangers of spreading misinformation. It brought me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter. The simplest way to combat misinformation is with the truth.”
Swift wrote that “I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election. I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them. I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos. I was so heartened and impressed by her selection of running mate @timwalz, who has been standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman’s right to her own body for decades.”
“I’ve done my research, and I’ve made my choice. Your research is all yours to do, and the choice is yours to make. I also want to say, especially to first time voters: Remember that in order to vote, you have to be registered! I also find it’s much easier to vote early. I’ll link where to register and find early voting dates and info in my story,” she added.
