Even Donald Trump couldn’t escape a Taylor Swift question this week.At a press conference on Tuesday, before diving into a serious query about visas for Chinese students, a reporter asked the US president for his reaction to Swift’s engagement to NFL star Travis Kelce.Trump’s response was unexpectedly cordial: “I wish them a lot of luck. I think he’s a great player, and he’s a great guy, and I think she’s a terrific person.”From “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!” to warm wishesThe soft tone was a sharp contrast to Trump’s past tirades against the pop icon. Back in 2024, after Swift endorsed Kamala Harris, Trump posted in all caps: “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!” and warned she would “probably pay a price” for backing his Democratic rival.Swift has long leaned blue. She endorsed Harris last election, urged fans to register to vote in 2020, and helped drive a surge in sign-ups at Vote.org with one Instagram post.
