Taylor Swift and her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, are putting on a united front against Donald Trump after he declared in a social media post that the singer is "no longer hot."
The president has seeming had it out for the pop star since she declared her support for his opponent, Kamala Harris, during the 2024 election.
Meanwhile, Travis Kelce reportedly has no intention of voicing his support for Taylor Swift, as he risks getting on the nerves of some of his Republican teammates as well as the Kansas City Chiefs' owners.
Travis Kelce Is Reportedly 'Expressing His Frustration' In Private
Swift has the full support of her boyfriend, Kelce, after she was at the receiving end of yet another attack from Trump.
The billionaire politician went on a lengthy rant on his Truth social media platform Monday morning, declaring the "Bad Blood" hitmaker as "no longer hot."
Swift and Trump have never seen eye to eye. She once accused him of "stoking" white supremacist rhetoric and backed his opponents during the 2020 and 2024 elections.
However, despite Trump's digs at Swift, Kelce has reportedly chosen to "take the high road."
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end has notably kept his political views private and would seemingly not want to leave a sour taste in the mouths of his Republican teammates and owners.
"Taylor knows exactly how Travis feels about this situation with Trump, and privately they are on the same page," an insider told the Daily Mail. "He is supporting her with continued love and respect, but publicly, Travis is going to let Trump be a sandbag and let it slip by - for now."
"Sure, it's frustrating, but he is looking to take the high road and only express his frustrations to Taylor and their family on how ridiculous the President is being," the source continued.
Donald Trump Pitted The Singer Against Actress Sydney Sweeney In A Social Media Post
Trump not only took a dig at Swift but also compared her to actress Sydney Sweeney. The "Euphoria" star has been under fire for days after appearing in an advert for denim brand American Eagle, where she made a pun on the words "jeans" and "genes."
Many critics argued that her comment supported eugenics and white supremacist rhetoric, but after Trump learned that she'd been a registered Republican since her move to Florida in 2024, he heaped praise on her.
"Sydney Sweeney, a registered Republican, has the 'HOTTEST' ad out there. It's for American Eagle, and the jeans are 'flying off the shelves.' Go get 'em, Sydney!" the president wrote.
Elsewhere in his lengthy post, Trump took his latest jab at Swift.
"Or just look at Woke singer Taylor Swift. Ever since I alerted the world as to what she was by saying on TRUTH that I can't stand her (HATE!). She was booed out of the Super Bowl and became, NO LONGER HOT," he said.
The president added, "The tide has seriously turned - Being WOKE is for losers, being Republican is what you want to be," Trump said, before ending with his trademark: "Thank you for your attention to this matter!"
Travis Kelce Risks Upsetting Republican Teammates If He Addresses Trump's Attacks On His Girlfriend
The situation is reportedly a sensitive one for Kelce as he risks upsetting some of his teammates who are known to be staunch Trump supporters.
His teammate, Patrick Mahomes' wife, Brittany, publicly supported the president, alongside Kansas City Chiefs' kicker Harrison Butker.
Also, the billionaire family of the Chiefs' chairman, as well as CEO Clark Hunt, are Trump fans, and the former have reportedly donated up to $900,000 to almost exclusively conservative candidates and committees.
"Travis doesn't want to extend the conversation and give it any substance," the insider told the news outlet. "He also appreciates how much of a strong woman Taylor is, and if anyone is going to say anything about it, he'd like her to sound off on it if need be."
The source added, "The owners of the Chiefs and some of his teammates – along with Patrick and his wife – are Trump supporters, so he just doesn't want to make it more of a thing than it needs to be, especially with the season right around the corner."
Taylor Swift And Travis Kelce Are Looking Ahead Into The Future
Away from Trump's attacks, rumors of an engagement between Kelce and Swift continue to circulate.
According to People Magazine, a source shared that the Grammy winner and Super Bowl champion are in a new phase in their relationship and "have talked about the future a lot."
"They're in a really solid place and more in sync than ever," the insider said of the couple. "They're both all in."
Just at the tail end of last month, Kelce posted Swift on his Instagram for the first time, even though they'd been dating since September 2023, and the source said it wasn't a coincidence.
The Football Player's Decision To Post Taylor Swift On His Instagram Page Was 'Intentional'
According to the source, Kelce's decision to post photos of Swift on his social media for the first time showed that things had gotten very serious between the couple.
"Travis posting Taylor on his Instagram for the first time wasn't random; it was intentional," the insider explained. "They've been private in their own way, but this was his way of showing how serious things have become."
"There's no pressure between them, but they're very aligned on where things are going," the source added. "He makes her feel safe and supported, and she brings so much joy into his life. They're really happy."
