Taylor Swift is back in the headlines after a harsh social media jab from Donald Trump. The former president posted a comment on Truth Social questioning Swift’s appearance and taking credit for a supposed decline in her popularity. His post caused instant backlash across the internet.
Swift’s fans quickly rallied against the statement. Many in the music industry also condemned Trump’s attack. Among them was Tino Gagliardi, the president of the American Federation of Musicians. He defended Swift and Bruce Springsteen, another artist Trump criticized. Gagliardi called both artists influential figures and defended their right to speak freely.
Travis Kelce Reportedly Furious Over Trump’s Attack on Taylor Swift
The fallout didn’t stop with the public. NFL star Travis Kelce, Swift’s boyfriend, was reportedly furious over Trump’s remarks. According to a Daily Mail source, Kelce was livid. He allegedly felt the need to protect Swift but is choosing to stay quiet for now. The source said Kelce is keeping his anger private to avoid drawing more attention to the situation.
Instead of responding publicly, he’s channeling his frustration into his training. With the NFL season approaching, Kelce is using the controversy as motivation. While he remains silent in public, the source claims he would love to stand up for Swift directly.

Trump’s history with Swift isn’t new. Their political divide has widened over recent years. Swift has openly supported candidates from the Democratic Party, including current President Kamala Harris. Trump, on the other hand, has shown support for Brittany Mahomes, wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Brittany has backed Trump in previous elections, creating an awkward dynamic within the NFL’s spotlight couples.
The contrast between how Trump praises Brittany and attacks Swift highlights the political edge to his latest remarks. Swift’s outspoken stances and celebrity influence have often made her a political target.
For now, Kelce stays quiet while the situation unfolds. But as the NFL season nears, this mix of sports, music, and politics is likely to keep making waves. The drama off the field may be heating up, but Kelce appears focused on letting his game do the talking. Meanwhile Swift remains in the public eye, whether she wants to or not.
