As this weekend approaches, excitement builds for American football fans with the Kansas City Chiefs gearing up to face the Philadelphia Eagles in a thrilling Super Bowl showdown. In the days leading up to the big game, Travis Kelce, a standout player for the Chiefs, made a remark that caught everyone’s attention and elicited a notable response from his girlfriend, the renowned singer, Taylor Swift.
During an interview, Kelce mentioned that it would be a “great honor” to play in the presence of the president. This comment quickly sparked reactions among dedicated Swift fans, known as “Swifties,” prompting them to humorously suggest that Swift should distance herself from him.
One fan quipped, “If my boyfriend said it’s a great honor to be near someone who constantly speaks negatively about me, I’d reconsider the relationship.” Another expressed, “No Travis, it’s neither awesome nor an honor for that man to be present. Your entire response was, well, quite puzzling.”
Previously, former President Donald Trump had made controversial remarks about Taylor Swift, including an assertion that he “detests her.” These statements were in response to Swift’s vocal support for Trump’s political opponent, Kamala Harris, during the 2024 presidential campaign. Swift had commented, “We can achieve so much more in this country when guided by calm instead of chaos.”
However, Swift has since shown her support for Kelce, making it clear that his comment was not a direct endorsement of President Trump, but rather a general acknowledgment of the role of the president, regardless of who occupies the position.
“That’s awesome; it’s a great honor no matter who the president is.”
This was part of Travis Kelce’s response when asked about the prospect of President Trump attending the Super Bowl.
Kelce expressed his excitement about the upcoming game, stating, “It’s awesome. It’s a great honor, irrespective of who the President is.”
He continued by saying, “I’m thrilled since it’s the most significant game of my life, and with the President in attendance, it highlights that this is the greatest nation on Earth, making it quite special.”
Insiders disclose that Travis Kelce was not intending to make any political statement.
“That’s awesome, it’s a great honor no matter who the president is.”

Instead, he aimed to convey a sentiment of respect on behalf of his team for the office of the president.
Sources have informed the Daily Mail that Swift is not upset with Kelce. “Some assumed Travis’s comment meant he supports Trump, but that’s not what he expressed at all,” one source clarified.
