The Super Bowl is days away, but Travis Kelce has lost the support of multiple fans thanks to President Donald Trump. The drama began after a recent interview before the highly-anticipated game went viral on X. The video captured the athlete’s positive reaction to the president’s possible appearance at the event, with him saying:
“That’s awesome. It’s a great honor. I think, you know, no matter who the president is, I know, I’m excited because it’s the biggest game of my life.”
Kelce implied that having Trump watch his team face the Philadelphia Eagles would make the game more exciting. However, fans did not share his sentiments, given the president’s past comments about his girlfriend, Taylor Swift. The Karma hitmaker’s Swifties called him out for being a horrible boyfriend and implored the singer to dump him.
“I’ve lost all respect for him. She can do better. Trump tweeted, I hate Taylor Swift and put a target on her, and this a-shole thinks it’s an honor? F-ck Travis. Taylor, move on! He won’t protect you. He’s only using you for fame,” a Swifty vehemently penned. Another echoed similar thoughts, noting the singer would address Kelce’s betrayal in her signature style — through music.
A third slammed Kelce for putting Swift in an unfavorable situation, stressing that she frequently fought against men like Trump. The criticism continued with an X user labeling the Kansas City Chiefs athlete “trash” and “a cad.” Meanwhile, a fellow critic wondered why Trump’s possible Super Bowl appearance would be an honor.
Fans Want Travis Kelce ‘Canceled’ for His Donald Trump Comment
The heated reactions to Kelce’s comment stemmed from fans’ love for his girlfriend. Many could not understand why he would react positively to a man who had criticized Swift. A Swifty shared the same view in their comment, arguing that the NFL star did not respect the singer.
More Swifties berated Kelce with someone pushing for him to get “canceled.” They claimed there was no room for “uncertainty or wishy-washy half a– passive comments.” Another noted Swift needed to leave, claiming the football player would become her “downfall.” Fans weren’t alone in their disappointment as others echoed similar thoughts on Trump’s possible presence at the Super Bowl.
Columnist Mike Freeman lamented Trump’s decision, slamming him as “the most divisive president of our lifetime.” He stressed that the Super Bowl was meant to unite Americans regardless of race or political beliefs. However, having someone as controversial as Trump in attendance would ultimately shift the game’s focus.
“Trump soils everything. Now, he’s doing the same to the biggest game of the year,” Freeman claimed. He noted past presidents never attended the game because they wanted citizens to enjoy the event. However, he suspected Trump wished to participate in the Super Bowl to enjoy the spotlight, per Fox News.
Whether Trump attends the Super Bowl remains to be seen, but Swift’s attendance has been confirmed. We recently shared that Jason Kelce, Travis’s older brother, announced the singer would not miss the upcoming event. “I think, obviously, our whole family. I believe, obviously, Trav and Taylor, and his family and his friends. Trav always travels like, full,” he said.
Will Travis Kelce’s comments about Donald Trump influence his relationship with Taylor Swift?
