SHOCKING TWIST as Donald Trump weighs in on Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s engagement — despite his explosive past attacks on the pop superstar.
The world was still processing the jaw-dropping news that Taylor Swift and NFL heartthrob Travis Kelce are officially engaged when President Donald Trump stormed back into the spotlight with a bizarre and unexpected twist no one saw coming.

Just hours after the A-list couple unveiled their romantic proposal, Trump stunned reporters by offering warm wishes to the duo during a livestreamed Cabinet meeting.
“Well, I wish them a lot of luck,” Trump, said. “I think he’s a great player and a great guy, and I think she’s a terrific person, so I wish them a lot of luck.”
In recent years, Trump has unleashed a torrent of online fury aimed squarely at Swift — slamming her for her political activism and Democratic endorsements. “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!” he declared on Truth Social after she endorsed Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential race.
Not stopping there, Trump launched another personal jab:
“Has anyone noticed that, since I said ‘I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,’ she’s no longer ‘HOT’?”

The chilling statements, made just months before this engagement announcement, now cast a curious shadow over Trump’s apparent warm wishes.
The Proposal That Broke the Internet
The engagement itself, however, was pure fairytale fantasy. In a joint post on Tuesday, August 26, Swift and Kelce shared intimate snaps from the moment he popped the question.

“Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married 🧨,” Swift captioned the post.
Within minutes, the internet exploded. The post quickly racked up more than 27 million likes. The comments, however, were turned off—perhaps to avoid media chaos.

Even royalty couldn’t resist chiming in. Prince William, Princess Catherine, and even Meghan Markle acknowledged the engagement.

The final image showed the couple seated together under an elaborate floral arch. Yet, the first photo was perhaps the best one.

Kelce can be seen kneeling in a lush, romantic garden, holding Taylor Swift’s waist while she touches his face in what looks like the moment after he popped the question.
After two years of dating, the beloved pop superstar and Super Bowl champ have proven they’re more than just a headline — they’re the real deal.
Fortunately, they can also shine individually. As previously reported, Kelce’s GQ September cover spread, revealed on August 12, 2025, sparked a frenzy online. Shot in South Florida, the Kansas City Chiefs star appeared in a string of adventurous setups, with one image making the biggest splash and dominating fan chatter.

On Tuesday, GQ’s social media feeds flooded with pictures and clips from Travis’s photo session, showing him riding a boat, soaring on a flyboard, holding an alligator while wearing a coonskin cap, swimming in the ocean, and much more.
One of the images shot in the water shows the NFL star in a bright neon safety vest, running his hands through his wet hair with his toned, hairy chest on full display. Naturally, the entire shoot ignited discussions, with fans focusing on his rugged appearance.
One netizen wrote, “Mans got that carpet [sic],” while another remarked, “He’s trying way too hard to look like Razor Ramon🌚.” Someone else added, “Big Yeti.”
Other netizens celebrated his looks. One Instagrammer urged, “Bring back chest hair,” another confessed, “I’ve never been so turned on by chest hair,” and someone else observed, “I didn’t realize @killatrav was that hairy chested [sic].”
More chimed in, with one declaring, “I am here for the chest hair,” and another praising, “Travis is looking absolutely scorching in this photos, radiating that perfect mix of rugged grit and effortless charm [sic].”
The caption of that post read, “Travis Kelce loves being ‘the happiest guy in the world all the [expletive] time,'” and it went on to say that the tight end has no shortage of reasons to feel joyful due to his many professional wins in sports and other areas, as well as his highly publicized romance with one of the most famous artists in the world.
In the full interview, Travis was asked many questions about Taylor, including if she shared any qualities with his mother, Donna Kelce. He replied that they both had similarly honest personalities.
He also spoke about their ability to love people through anything, as well as their shared work ethic, recalling how his mother rose in her career from a bank teller to the KeyBank Building.
“I’ve seen Taylor do the exact same thing of setting goals for herself and exceeding the expectations and really captivating the world in that regard,” he said.
The NFL star was also asked how two of the busiest people in the world keep their relationship from fizzling. “Whenever I’m with her, it feels like we’re just regular people,” Travis revealed. “When there is not a camera on us, we’re just two people that are in love [sic].”
Although they are followed and often discussed online and in the media, their relationship happened “organically.”
“Nothing I’ve ever done has been a controlled, organized process. When I say it was so organic, we fell in love just based off the people we were sitting in a room together with,” he continued. “We are two fun-loving people who have the morals to appreciate everyone for who they are. We share all those values. It kind of just took the [expletive] off.”
That dynamic now shows on social media. While paparazzi and fans have often caught their outings and interactions, the couple themselves seldom post photos of their private moments.
However, on July 24, Travis made a carousel post on Instagram, captioning it, “Had some adventures this offseason, kept it 💯 [sic].” His girlfriend appeared in several of the shots, dining with him alone or alongside friends, enjoying the snow, and ice skating.
Additionally, Taylor will appear as a guest on the August 13 episode of Travis’s podcast, “New Heights,” which he co-hosts with his brother, Jason Kelce. Teaser clips of the show have been posted on Instagram, and in one, she revealed that her 12th studio album will be titled “The Life of a Showgirl.”
Other excerpts offered glimpses of her and Travis’s relationship, including a moment when Taylor Swift complimented the blue color of his hoodie, and he replied that it matched her eyes before calling her “sweetie.”
