President Donald Trump has once again taken aim at global music icon Taylor Swift, making another disparaging comment just as her boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce, prepares to visit him at the White House with the Kansas City Chiefs.
In recently reported private remarks, Trump allegedly said that Swift is “no longer hot,” adding to a growing list of personal jabs he’s directed at the singer in recent years. He also insisted that he was responsible for her past financial success, referring to the Music Modernization Act he signed during his first term. The comment comes across as both dismissive and condescending, further escalating the long-running tension between the two public figures.
Swift, known for her vocal opposition to Trump and his political agenda, has not issued a response, but her fans have been quick to condemn the remarks as misogynistic and petty. Critics say the president’s fixation on Swift highlights a troubling pattern of targeting outspoken women.
Kelce and the Chiefs to visit Trump at White House
The timing of the president’s comments is particularly awkward. In the coming weeks, Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs are scheduled to visit the White House to celebrate their Super Bowl LIV (2020) victory-a ceremony that was delayed for years due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The team has since added two more titles, including their most recent championship in 2024.
Kelce, who has publicly supported Swift and frequently appears alongside her at events, now finds himself in an uncomfortable position. The planned visit to the White House, meant to honor athletic excellence, could be overshadowed by the president’s personal feud with the pop superstar.
Trump’s latest remarks risk politicizing a celebratory sports moment and have once again blurred the lines between politics, celebrity, and personal grudges.
