“A maggot”: Travis Kelce gets brutally thrashed by Swiftes, urges Taylor Swift to leave him ahead of Super Bowl | NFL News
Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce has drawn ire from some of Taylor Swift‘s fans for stating that an appearance by Donald Trump at the Super Bowl would be an honor to him, as Trump has in the past criticized Taylor Swift. At a news conference on February 5, Kelce was generally upbeat over the White House’s announcement that Trump will become the first sitting president to attend the Super Bowl.
Travis Kelce has sparked controversy among Taylor Swift fans after his reaction to Donald Trump’s election
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has taken heat from fans of Taylor Swift after speaking to his reaction when Donald Trump decided to attend the Super Bowl with no connection to football. At a media day interview on Wednesday, Kelce was asked whether he was offended by Donald Trump’s decision to attend Sunday’s championship game.
“It’s a great honor” Kelce replied. “I think, you know, no matter who the president is, I know I’m excited because it’s the biggest game of my life, you know, and having the president there, you know, it’s the best country in the world. So, that’d be pretty cool.” Kelce’s neutral comments were met with resentment from Swifties due to Trump’s escalating feud with the singer, which escalated last year. The president wrote, “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT” on Truth Social.
Swift’s fan base expressed disappointment and anger over Kelce’s comments, with some calling for Swift to end her relationship with him. “@eagles all the way on Sunday. Even more love for them now that orange lunatic will be there. Travis Kelce is an orange lover. No respect left for him. How can Swift stay with him? Every Trump lover is a maggot in my books,” fan wrote.
Another added, “Disappointed bc in 2018 The Eagles didn’t make their players go and because so many declined, Trump then uninvited the team. Considering Kelce has spoken about social justice as a white man, this is disappointing.” “Friendly reminder that Taylor Swift said ‘f**k that, I don’t care’ when Trump said he’d come after her. I’m sorry, but Travis Kelce could have said the same thing,” a third noted.
Trump and Swift have been bickering back and forth over the years: Swift publicly endorses Democratic candidates in 2018, followed by Trump lambasting her at the time; last year saw Trump attack her amid rumors over her potential clout in 2024.

Swift, who followed Trump to the home games of his team, the Chiefs, during the 2024-25 NFL season, will likely attend the final Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans as the Chiefs seek to make history by winning a record third game in a row against the Philadelphia Eagles. She comes just four days before the date of the final match.
