President Trump Congratulates Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce on Engagement

President Donald Trump publicly congratulated Taylor Swift and NFL star Travis Kelce on their engagement during a recent Cabinet meeting, marking a significant shift from his prior harsh criticisms of the singer. Previously, Trump had expressed strong disdain for Swift, notably posting "I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!" on Truth Social after she endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris in 2024 and mocking her public reception at the Super Bowl. Despite his past remarks, Trump praised Kelce as "a great player" and described Swift as "a terrific person," wishing the couple "a lot of luck." This change in tone contrasts sharply with his earlier attacks, which included calling Swift "woke" and suggesting her endorsement of Democrats would harm her career. Swift and Kelce announced their engagement on Instagram with playful photos and captions, drawing widespread public attention. However, speculation remains about whether Trump’s newfound cordiality signals a lasting change or is a temporary response to the engagement news.
