Travis Kelce Says It’ll Be a ‘Great Honor’ to Have President Donald Trump at the Super Bowl

In a few days, Donald Trump will become the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl — something Travis Kelce thinks is a “great honor,” despite the politician’s history with Taylor Swift.
During a press conference Wednesday (Feb. 5), the Kansas City Chiefs tight end — who will face off against the Philadelphia Eagles at Caesars Superdome with his teammates this weekend — was asked for his thoughts on the White House’s recent announcement that the POTUS will be in attendance. “That’s awesome,” Kelce said. “It’s a great honor.”
“No matter who the president is, I know I’m excited because it’s the biggest game of my life,” he continued. “Having the president there — it’s the best country in the world — and that’s pretty cool.”
Someone who will also be present at the Feb. 9 game will be the New Heights podcaster’s superstar girlfriend, who has famously opposed Trump’s administration for years. A couple months prior to the 2024 presidential election, for example, the “Fortnight” singer endorsed the twice-impeached billionaire’s Democratic opponent, Kamala Harris, and slammed the Trump campaign’s use of artificially generated images that falsely painted Swift as a MAGA supporter.
In response, Trump said the following in a Sept. 11 post on Truth Social: “I was not a Taylor Swift fan. It was just a question of time … She’s a very liberal person, she seems to always endorse a Democrat and she’ll probably pay a price for it in the marketplace.”
Four days later, he wrote, “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!”
Months before that, Trump brought up both the 14-time Grammy winner and Kelce in a Truth Social blast. “There’s no way [Swift] could endorse Crooked Joe Biden, the worst and most corrupt President in the History of our Country, and be disloyal to the man who made her so much money,” he wrote in February last year.
“Besides that, I like her boyfriend, Travis,” he added at the time. “Even though he may be a Liberal, and probably can’t stand me!”
