In football, one of the most talked-about stories right now is Donald Trump inviting NFL lovebirds Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift to the White House. While it sounds like good news and should be exciting, the situation feels a bit awkward for Swifties.
This weekend, President Trump said he plans to invite the Kansas City Chiefs to the White House to celebrate their Super Bowl win over the 49ers five years ago. For those who don’t know, they missed the visit back in 2020 because of COVID-19.

To make up for it, the president said he would host the Chiefs after meeting the Philadelphia Eagles, the recent Super Bowl winners, on April 28. The exact date for the Chiefs’ visit is still unknown, but the invite might already be causing tension for Kelce and Swift.
There are concerns that Swift and Kelce’s relationship could face a challenge, as Swift has publicly disagreed with Trump in the past. Many Swifties are worried about how this invitation might affect their relationship.
How Taylor Swift and Donald Trump clashed politically
Taylor Swift and Donald Trump have had a rocky relationship, mainly due to their opposite political views. It all started in 2018 when Swift broke her silence on politics and endorsed Democratic candidates in Tennessee.
She criticized Republican candidate Marsha Blackburn, calling her voting record “appalling and terrifying.” Trump responded, saying he liked Swift’s music “25% less” after her endorsement.
🚨NEW: In a morning tirade on Truth Social, Trump tweeted “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!” days after her endorsement of Kamala Harris.

In 2019, Swift took another shot at Trump, saying he viewed the U.S. as an “autocracy” instead of a democracy. She even regretted not speaking up during the 2016 election. Then, in 2020, Swift strongly condemned Trump’s tweets about using the National Guard during protests, accusing him of fueling “white supremacy and racism.”
As time went on, Swift became more vocal about her progressive views. This ongoing tension has raised concerns among Swifties, especially regarding her potential visit to the White House under Trump.
