This weekend promises to deliver yet another thrilling showdown for American football fans as the Kansas City Chiefs prepare to face off against the Philadelphia Eagles. Ahead of the Super Bowl, Chiefs star Travis Kelce made a comment that sparked quite the reaction from his girlfriend, Taylor Swift.
Kelce expressed that it would be a “great honor” to play in front of the president, prompting a wave of responses from Swifties—Taylor Swift’s devoted fanbase—who urged her to “run away” from him.
One fan remarked, “If my boyfriend said it was a great honor to have the man who constantly slanders me in attendance, I would break up with him immediately.” Another added, “No, Travis, it’s not awesome or an honor for that man to be there. His whole answer was just… yikes.”
The backlash stems from President Donald Trump’s past remarks about Swift, including his declaration that he “hates her.” These comments were made in response to her public endorsement of his opponent, Kamala Harris, during the 2024 presidential campaign. Swift had stated, “We can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos.”
Despite the controversy, Swift has shown her support for Kelce, clarifying that his statement wasn’t an endorsement of Trump but rather a respect for the office of the presidency, regardless of who occupies it.
Kelce shared his excitement about the prospect of playing in front of the president, saying, “It’s awesome. It’s a great honor, I think no matter who the President is. I’m excited because it’s the biggest game of my life, and having the President there is pretty cool.”
Those close to the couple emphasize that Kelce didn’t intend to make a political statement; he was simply expressing respect for the position he holds. Sources told the Daily Mail that Swift isn’t upset with Kelce, noting, “Although Travis’s quote was taken as if he supports Trump, that’s not what he meant at all.”
