"Best tight end": Donald Trump showers praises for Travis Kelce, just months after his public disdain for his girlfriend Taylor Swift

Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift's boyfriend, welcomes President Donald Trump to his Super Bowl weekend despite the tight end's own "Bad Blood" with the pop star. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end expressed how great and honorable it is to have the president coming to attend the Super Bowl in New Orleans as the Chiefs play the Philadelphia Eagles. This will be the first time that a sitting president has been seen at the Super Bowl. He added, on the alternative social media platform Truth Social that he would be taking an interview before the game.

Donald Trump is all praises for Travis Kelce despite despising Taylor Swift

NFL stars and league policies were praised by Donald Trump in a post on his Truth Social platform. Great is the tight end in football history, starting with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and possibly Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert.

"An unbelievable running back, and the absolute best tight end in football (Ever!)," Trump wrote, seemingly referring to Kelce rather than Goedert, given Kelce's impressive career stats. Kelce ranks third in receiving yards and receptions among tight ends in NFL history, making him a likely candidate for Trump's accolade. Trump's recent compliment to Kelce comes after his public disdain for Taylor Swift, Kelce's girlfriend and a vocal supporter of Kamala Harris.


In September, Trump declared, "I hate Taylor Swift!" following her endorsement of Harris. Kelce remains unfazed by Trump's presence at the Super Bowl, describing it as an honor. "It's a great honor, I think no matter who the President is," Kelce told reporters. "I'm excited because it's the biggest game of my life and having the President there, it's the best country in the world so it's pretty cool.”

Trump praised Eagles running back Saquon Barkley and Chiefs head coaches Nick Sirianni and Andy Reid for their incredible coaching, but also criticized the NFL's new kickoff rules for being counterproductive and making football more dangerous. "If they would only get rid of that really weird looking new Kickoff 'deal,' which actually makes football more dangerous, they would be doing everybody, especially the fans, a big favor," he wrote.

Trump utilized the opportunity to promote his pre-game interview on Fox in addition to his football commentary. "I'll be doing the interview, before the game, at 3:00 P.M.," he announced, taking a jab at Joe Biden for skipping Super Bowl interviews in recent years.

Super Bowl Sunday is a tradition for presidents to address the nation, starting with George W. Bush in 2004. Trump has expressed mixed feelings about football, citing concussion concerns when discussing his son Barron's participation in the sport. In 2019, he expressed dissatisfaction with the reports about the sport.
