Liberal singer Taylor Swift’s fan base, a group of people who call themselves “Swifts” in her honor, this week took issue with her Kansas City Chiefs tight end boyfriend Travis Kelce (Travis Kelce) lost his mind this week after reportedly “liking” a pro-Donald post.
Kelce liked Sage Steele’s Instagram post
It all started last month, when former ESPN host Sage Steele, known for his unapologetic conservative views, posted a series of comments on Instagram, according to Newsweek Photos and videos of himself enjoying a night out with former President Trump at UFC 299.
“What. One night. After years of covering @ufc on ESPN, I finally got to see it live. Game changer. Thank you @danawhite…for everything! Great people, great events, great fights!” (Check out the last video – it’s the last minute of the main card fight… so intense!!!) 🇺🇸 #ufc299,” she captioned the post.
Steele, who knew she would inevitably receive backlash from liberals for daring to post a photo of herself with Trump, anticipated the backlash she would receive at the end of her caption: “(Cue 3…2…1 of the divisive, closed-off Thoughts and unfollowing… 😂) #diversityofthought.
Swifties crash
Although the post was posted on March 10, it resurfaced a few days ago when Swift’s liberal fans were surprised to see it had been “liked” by Kelce, and it didn’t take long for them to have a meltdown model.
“I didn’t expect Travis Kelce to be a Trump supporter, but here we are,” one user commented. Another user added, “Travis Kelce doesn’t like having Trump.” ‘s post?
Others claimed to have seen this coming, with one sarcastically writing: “Travis Kelce likes Trump? Never in a million years would I have thought this is shocking news! What’s next? What is it? Is the grass green? Is the sun a star?
Swift and Trump History
Trump has spoken publicly about Kelce and Swift’s relationship after they went public last September.
“I wish them both the best. I hope they enjoy life, maybe together, maybe not together – probably not,” he told The Daily Caller at the time.

While Kelce has seemed relatively quiet about politics over the years, Swift is a well-known radical liberal who has spoken out against Trump on several occasions in the past. Back in 2020, Swift accused Trump of “fanning the fires of white supremacy and racism” in response to Trump’s comments condemning the violence that spread across the country after the death of George Floyd.
“After fanning the flames of white supremacy and racism throughout your entire presidency, do you still have the guts to pretend to be morally superior before threatening violence?” she wrote on social media at the time, according to the Daily Mail . “When the looting starts, the shooting starts”? We will vote you out in November. @realdonaldtrump.
In her Netflix documentary Miss Americana, Swift spoke about her deep regret for not speaking out against Trump during the 2016 presidential election.
“I like Taylor’s music about 25% less now,” Trump responded.
Swift told the Guardian in 2020 that Trump was “fueling the American public.”
“We are a democracy – at least we should be – and you can disagree, dissent, debate,” she said at the time. “I really think he thinks this is a dictatorship.”
Fox News reported that Swift also accused Trump of cheating in the 2020 presidential election.
“Trump’s planned dismantling of the U.S. Postal Service clearly demonstrates one thing: He knows we don’t want him as our president,” she said. “To stay in power, he chose to cheat blatantly and put the lives of millions of Americans at risk.”
Trump thinks Swift won’t support Biden
That being said, Swift has been attacking Trump for years, and she apparently hasn’t endorsed Biden in this year’s presidential election. Back in February, Trump speculated that there was no way Swift would support Biden this time after what he had done to our country.
“I signed and took charge of the Music Modernization Act for Taylor Swift and all other musical artists. Joe Biden did nothing for Taylor and never will,” Trump said.
“There is no way she could support crooked Joe Biden, the worst, most corrupt president in our country’s history, or be disloyal to the man who has made her so much money,” he continued. “Besides that, I like her boyfriend Travis, even though he may be a liberal and probably can’t stand me!”

Maybe Swift and Kelce, like millions of other young Americans, are so disillusioned with life under a Biden regime that Trump doesn’t seem so bad to them anymore. While people probably shouldn’t read that much into a “like” on Instagram, it would certainly be hilarious to see how many liberal heads would explode if Swift or Kelce considered supporting Trump!
