President Donald Trump responded to the news of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s engagement during Tuesday’s cabinet meeting.
Swift, 35, and Kelce, 35, announced their engagement in a social media post on Tuesday evening after two years of dating.
Trump and Swift have not had a warm relationship in the past, with the pop star endorsing Kamala Harris and often peddling woke beliefs.
Despite their history, Trump had nothing but kind words to offer as he wished the couple well.
“Well, I wish them a lot of luck,” Trump said. “I think he’s a great player, a great guy. I think she’s a terrific person. So, I wish them a lot of luck.”

Back in 2018, Swift shattered her apolitical image by endorsing Democrats in the Tennessee midterm elections, slamming Trump ally Marsha Blackburn as a threat to women’s rights and LGBTQ issues. Trump fired back, quipping that he liked her music “about 25 percent less now.”
Last September, following the singer’s endorsement of Harris, Trump posted “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!” on Truth Social.
In May, the president made headlines by posting, “Has anyone noticed that, since I said ‘I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,’ she’s no longer ‘HOT?’”
Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end and three-time Super Bowl champ, has appeared to support Trump in the past, even attending a White House celebration after one of his team’s wins.
