Digital Phablet – Taylor Swift’s engagement prompts a new response from Donald Trump.
As reactions to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s recent engagement continue to pour in, President Donald Trump, known as one of Swift’s most vocal critics, has shared his thoughts.
A journalist inquired during a cabinet meeting on Tuesday, August 26, about his opinion on the news of Swift and Kelce’s upcoming marriage. His response was straightforward: “There you go. I hope everything goes smoothly for them. I wish them the best of luck because I think he’s an excellent player, a good guy, and a wonderful person.”
Swift and Kelce also posted a joint announcement on Instagram on Tuesday, revealing their plans to marry. The post featured pictures of the couple in a vibrant outdoor setting, showcasing Swift’s new engagement ring. The caption read, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are tying the knot.”
The president’s reaction marks a stark difference from his past remarks about Swift. Previously, he has openly ridiculed her. It’s widely known that Trump once posted “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT” on his Truth Social platform after she publicly endorsed Kamala Harris in her 2024 presidential bid.
Recently, Trump likened Swift to actress Sydney Sweeney, who appeared in a highly controversial American Eagle advertisement that many criticized as racially offensive and comparable to Nazi propaganda. “Sydney Sweeney’s ad is the hottest out there. The American Eagle jeans are sold out. Go grab yours, Sydney!” Trump commented, then added negative remarks about Swift. “Just look at Taylor Swift, who sings ‘Woke.’ I told everyone the truth — I hate her. She was booed at the Super Bowl and is no longer ‘hot’.”

Swift has also been outspoken about her opposition to Trump’s policies. During a 2019 interview with The Guardian, she referred to his first term as an “autocracy.” In 2020, she vowed to vote him out, criticizing his handling of the George Floyd protests and his promotion of racism and white supremacy, questioning his claim to moral superiority.
