There’s a lot of buzz surrounding the potential marriage of the highly recognized duo from the United States, music sensation Taylor Swift and NFL star and podcaster Travis Kelce, who is also a three-time Super Bowl winner. This topic has even caught the attention of the President himself.
Recently, Donald Trump expressed his dislike for Taylor Swift, who publicly endorsed his Democratic opponent Kamala Harris in the 2020 presidential election, after Trump had mistakenly claimed that she had supported him. Since then, he has referred to her as a “politically aware singer” and suggested that she is no longer popular.
Despite the announcement of Swift and Kelce’s engagement on Tuesday, it didn’t prevent him from expressing his warm congratulations.
Trump expressed his well-wishes to the individuals involved, stating, “I hope they have great success,” during a White House Cabinet meeting not long after learning about the news. He considers them all to be exceptional, with him believing the man to be an outstanding player, the woman an amazing person, and hence, he expressed his wishes for their continued prosperity.
Over the course of his lengthy career in the public eye, Trump has frequently shared his opinions about high-profile personalities, including celebrities and their love lives. Here’s a summary of instances where Trump expressed his thoughts regarding Taylor Swift.
September 2009
On a thrilling September night, as I stood in the audience at the MTV Video Music Awards, Taylor Swift was about to accept the Best Female Video award for “You Belong With Me.” However, just as she began her speech, rapper Kanye West unexpectedly interrupted, declaring passionately, “Beyoncé had one of the most magnificent videos ever made!” It certainly added a bit of unpredictability to the event.
Numerous celebrities stood up for Swift. In an interview with TMZ, Trump expressed his disapproval of the “unacceptable” outburst, proposing a boycott of the rapper to prevent such incidents from recurring. Trump suggested that West didn’t genuinely care about Beyoncé and was only seeking attention through this act.
August 2012
In 2012, Donald Trump publicly praised Taylor Swift on Twitter, calling her “fabulous,” and expressed gratitude for a lovely image she had shared. However, it’s not certain what the specific circumstances of this post were, or if there was actually a photograph taken of them together at the time. Interestingly, both celebrities were featured in a high-profile Macy’s advertisement just one month later.
October 2012
Regarding Taylor and Conor – fantastic news for Taylor! This was shared by Trump on Twitter a few months later, following the rumored split between Taylor Swift and Conor Kennedy, who is the son of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., later appointed as Trump’s Health Secretary.
A few days later, Trump tweeted his delight at Taylor Swift being chosen as a co-host for the Grammy nominations special on December 5th. He thinks Taylor is fantastic! (Paraphrased)
November 2015
During an interview with Yahoo! Politics, Trump expressed that Taylor Swift is “terrific.” Although Trump hadn’t spoken publicly about Swift for quite some time, it seemed he remained a fan. This was evident in December of the previous year, when Melania Trump posted on Facebook a video clip showing Trump driving his car with Taylor Swift’s music playing on the radio.
October 2018
Swift made news when she entered politics for the first time by publicly supporting Democratic candidates: Phil Bredesen for the U.S. Senate and Jim Cooper for the House of Representatives, who were challenging incumbent Republican Marsha Blackburn.
During his first term as President, Trump spoke to reporters outside the White House: “Marsha Blackburn is doing exceptionally well in Tennessee and she’s currently ahead by a significant margin. She’s an impressive woman whom I have great respect for. I suspect Taylor Swift may not be familiar with her achievements. As for Taylor Swift’s music, my appreciation for it has decreased by about 25%.
September 2023
Expressing my thoughts in the context of a conversation: In response to speculation about Taylor Swift and Zach Ertz’s relationship, I genuinely wish them both well. May they cherish their journey, whether it unfolds as a shared adventure or separate paths – probably the latter, but who knows?
November 2023
During a gathering in Houston, Trump referenced Taylor Swift while speaking about the “Justice For All” rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner by inmates who were imprisoned due to their suspected participation in the January 6, 2021 Capitol uprising.
Trump stated that upon its release, the song quickly rose to the top of the charts, outperforming other popular artists like Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus. In fact, it even displaced them from their leading positions for a considerable duration.” (“Justice For All” debuted at No.1 on Billboard’s Digital Song Sales Chart in March 2023 and also reached the top spot on iTunes.)
February 2024
To kick off the election season, I found myself at the center of a storm when Donald Trump labeled me “disloyal” if I were to back Joe Biden. Despite the accusation, it’s important to clarify that, at the time, my endorsement hadn’t been made public. However, you might recall that in 2020, I did lend my support to Biden and have not shied away from expressing constructive criticism towards Donald Trump over the years.
In his Truth Social post, Trump claimed credit for supporting the Music Modernization Act, which benefited Taylor Swift and other musicians. He implied that Joe Biden hasn’t done anything for her musically, and suggested it would be unfathomable for Swift to endorse Biden given his financial impact on her career. Furthermore, Trump mentioned he likes Swift’s boyfriend, Travis, but hinted that the latter might not appreciate him personally.
June 2024
As reported in a recent extract from a book penned by Ramin Setoodeh, editor-in-chief at Variety, it’s stated that Trump referred to Taylor Swift as exceptionally attractive.
In the 2023 interviews for his book, it’s reported that Trump expressed his admiration by saying, “I consider her exceptionally attractive – stunningly beautiful! I believe she holds liberal views and might not be a fan of me. However, I hear she’s highly skilled… I must say, I find her strikingly beautiful, in fact, unusually so!
Trump likewise wondered about Swift’s political beliefs: “Is she truly a liberal, or merely playing the role?… I find it intriguing how a country artist can thrive while expressing liberal views.
August 2024
As the election approached, Trump published several AI-generated pictures implying Taylor Swift supported his candidacy and urged her followers to do the same. He responded with “I accept!” when sharing these images.
September 2024
Following Swift’s public endorsement of the Democratic ticket, Trump expressed his preference for Brittany Mahomes during an interview with Fox & Friends, stating, “To be honest, I prefer Mrs. Mahomes more,” referring to the wife of Patrick Mahomes, a teammate of Travis Kelce from the Kansas City Chiefs. “She’s a supporter of mine.
Trump expressed that he isn’t fond of Taylor Swift, pointing out that her support for Harris wasn’t unexpected, just a bit disheartening. “She appears to be quite liberal,” he added, “and she usually backs Democrats. I suspect she might face consequences for it in the public sphere.
Days later, on Truth Social, Trump posted: “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!”
February 2025
This year, I found myself cheering on Kelce at the Super Bowl, as he was aiming for his third straight and fourth overall NFL championship title. Interestingly, Trump was there too, backing the Chiefs, although they didn’t end up winning. What struck me, though, was when some Philadelphia Eagles fans booed me during the game broadcast from New Orleans, and it seemed like Trump took pleasure in that moment.
Trump posted a video of the boos on his platform Truth Social, and in another post, he wrote: “The Kansas City Chiefs weren’t the only ones who had a difficult night; Taylor Swift also faced boos at the stadium. The MAGA movement is known for being unforgiving!
April 2025
While hosting the victorious Eagles at the White House in April, Trump mentioned Swift again.
The game was truly remarkable. A bit unexpected, but right from the opening of the first quarter of this significant matchup, he shared, deviating briefly from his prepared remarks. He mentioned that he witnessed it live, in person, even in the company of Taylor Swift. Can you believe it? How did that happen? Things got a little interesting there for a moment, but let’s get back to the game. The Eagles scored a touchdown using their signature play…
May 2025
Trump, without being directly prompted, made a statement on Truth Social in May, saying, “Seems like Taylor Swift isn’t as popular now that I called her unattractive.” Regarding this comment, an official from the White House stated to CBS News: “Given Trump’s extensive background in business and entertainment, he is well-equipped to express his opinions on the ups and downs of famous personalities.
August 2025
Following a debate stirred up by an advertisement of American Eagle starring actress Sydney Sweeney, where her “great jeans” comment was interpreted as a controversial play on the term ‘great genes’, leading to accusations of racism on social media, Trump responded via a post on his Truth Social platform.
The President commended Sweeney, who is a registered Republican, and declared that American Eagle’s advertisement was the “MOST FIERY” one available. Later, he criticized other corporations for being overly politically active, arguing it harmed their business, while pointing to Swift as a contrasting example.
He pointed out Taylor Swift, often referred to as a ‘Woke’ singer. Ever since I expressed my dislike for her (admittedly, I dislike her intensely), she received boos at the Super Bowl and seems to have lost popularity. The situation has dramatically shifted – it appears that being ‘Woke’ is not favorable, while being Republican is a more desirable stance. Thank you for your attention to this topic.
In contrast to what Trump claimed, Swift, who has built her fortune herself, seems just as successful and talked-about as before. Her upcoming album titled “The Life of a Showgirl” is expected to shatter records, and it appears that everyone worldwide is discussing her forthcoming wedding.
