This weekend will bring yet another spectacle for the lovers of American football with the Kansas City Chiefs setting to take on the Philadelphia Eagles. Prior to the Super Bowl, the Chief’s star Travis Kelce made a comment that triggered his girlfriend’s reaction.
Namely, Kelce said it would be a “great honor” to play in front of the president, which urged many Swifties – Taylor Swift fans – to tell her to “run away” from him.
“If my boyfriend says its a great honor to have the man that slanders me constantly I would break up with him immediately,” one person commented. “No Travis it’s not awesome or an honor for that man to be there. His whole answer was just… yikes,” another added.
In the past, President Donald Trump made remarks about the singer, even stating that he “hates her,” which triggered their reaction to Kelce’s comment.
Trump’s comments on Swift came as a response to her publicly supporting his opponent, Kamala Harris during the 2024 presidential campaign. At the time, Swift said, “We can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos.”
Swift, however, has shown her support for boyfriend Travis Kelce, clarifying that his statement wasn’t an explicit endorsement of Trump, but rather of the position held by the country’s leader, regardless who holds it.
Kelce shared his thoughts on playing in front of the president ahead of the Super Bowl, saying, “It’s awesome. It’s a great honour, I think no matter who the President is.”
He added: “I’m excited because it’s the biggest game of my life and having the President there, it’s the best country in the world so it’s pretty cool.”
People close to the couple say Travis Kelce wasn’t trying to make any political statements.
He was just making a comment on the behalf of his team and showed respect for the position of a president of the country.
Sources told Daily Mail that Swift isn’t angry at Kelce. “Although Travis’s quote was taken as he supports Trump, this is not what Travis said at all,” the source said.
