Trump Congratulates Swift on Engagement Amid Past Feud

President Donald Trump expressed a surprisingly conciliatory message wishing Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce luck upon their engagement announcement, despite his previously harsh criticisms of Swift. During a White House cabinet meeting, Trump called Kelce a great player and Swift a terrific person, extending his best wishes to the couple. This reaction contrasts with his recent social media attacks, where he branded Swift as "woke," claimed she was losing popularity, and reiterated his dislike for her after she endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 elections. Meanwhile, Swift and Kelce have remained silent on Trump's remarks, while friends and fans have widely celebrated their engagement, including teammate Patrick Mahomes and social media users. The couple's relationship reportedly deepened over time, with discussions about marriage and starting a family. Trump's antagonism toward Swift is tied to his broader criticism of "woke" culture, as seen in his comments on other celebrities and brands, yet his public response to the engagement was notably more reserved and positive.
