Donald Trump is known for his blunt remarks, especially when it comes to Taylor Swift. So, his response to her recent engagement to Travis Kelce caught many by surprise. After two years of dating, Swift and Kelce shared the happy news on Instagram on August 26, exciting fans everywhere.
Given Trump and Swift’s long-standing public feud, many wondered what he might say about their engagement. Over the years, Trump has frequently criticized Swift, including a blunt statement in 2024 on his Truth Social platform where he said, “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!” He also recently praised actress Sydney Sweeney, contrasting that with comments about Swift’s career.

Swift has never held back either, openly criticizing Trump’s presidency and policies. In 2019, she called his leadership “an autocracy,” and in 2020 declared she would vote him out following nationwide protests.
