Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s engagement has taken the internet by storm, and even President Donald Trump has weighed in—though his response is notably more cordial than past remarks.
Donald Trump’s Comment on Taylor and Travis’ Engagement
During a Cabinet meeting on August 26, 2025, Trump was asked about the couple’s engagement. He responded:
“Well, I wish them a lot of luck. Yeah, I think he’s a great player. I think he’s a great guy and I think that she’s a terrific person, so I wish them a lot of luck.”
This comment marks a stark contrast to Trump’s previous criticisms of Swift. In 2024, after Swift endorsed Kamala Harris in the presidential election, Trump posted on Truth Social, “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!” and suggested she would “probably pay a price” for her political stance.
He also compared Swift to actress Sydney Sweeney, a registered Republican, praising Sweeney’s campaign work as “the hottest” while criticizing Swift for being “woke” and claiming she was “not cool anymore.”
Despite these past remarks, Trump seems to have softened his tone regarding Swift and Kelce’s engagement. His congratulatory comment has surprised many, given the intensity of his prior criticisms.
Trump’s recent comments indicate a shift toward a more neutral or even positive view of Swift and Kelce’s relationship. His well-wishes have been met with surprise, considering the history between him and Swift.
As the engagement continues to capture public attention, Trump’s response adds an unexpected layer to the unfolding narrative.
