The fanbase of the liberal singer Taylor Swift, a group of people who call themselves “Swifties” in her honor, are losing their minds this week after her Kansas City Chiefs tight end boyfriend Travis Kelce reportedly “liked” a post that was pro-Donald Trump.
Kelce ‘Likes’ Sage Steele’s Instagram Post
Newsweek reported that it all started last month, when the former ESPN host Sage Steele, who has long been known for her unapologetically conservative views, took to Instagram to post a series of photos and videos of herself with the former President Trump enjoying a night out at UFC 299.
“What. A. Night. After years of covering @ufc at ESPN, I FINALLY got to see it live & in person. Game changer. THANK YOU @danawhite … for EVERYTHING! Great people, great event, great fights! (Check out the last video – it’s the final minute of the main card fight .. so intense!!!) ????????#ufc299,” she captioned the post.
In anticipation of the liberal backlash that she knew she’d inevitably receive for daring to post images of herself with Trump, Steele ended the caption by writing, “(cue the divisive, close-minded thoughts and unfollows in 3…2…1… ????) #diversityofthought.”
Swifties Meltdown
Though the post is from March 10, it resurfaced a few days ago when liberal fans of Swift were shocked and appalled to find out that it had been “liked” by Kelce, and it didn’t take long for them to go into full meltdown mode.
“I wasn’t expecting Travis Kelce to be a trump supporter but here we are,” one user commented, with another adding, “Not Travis Kelce liking a post with trump in it???”
Others claimed to have seen this coming, with one person sarcastically writing, “Travis kelce likes TRUMP? I would’ve never guessed this in a million years this is shocking news!! whats next? grass is green? the sun is a star???”
Swift’s History With Trump
Trump previously spoke out about Kelce and Swift’s romance after they went public with it back in September of last year.
“I wish the best for both of them. I hope they enjoy their life, maybe together, maybe not — most likely not,” he told the Daily Caller at the time.

While Kelce appears to have stayed relatively quiet about politics over the years, Swift is a known radical liberal who has spoken out against Trump many times in the past. Back in 2020, Swift accused Trump of “stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism” in response to comments he made condemning the violence that spread throughout the country in the wake of the death of George Floyd.
“After stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism your entire presidency, you have the nerve to feign moral superiority before threatening violence?” she wrote on social media at the time, according to Daily Mail. “When the looting starts the shooting starts’??? We will vote you out in November. @realdonaldtrump.”
In her Netflix documentary “Miss Americana,” Swift talked about how much she regrets not openly opposing Trump during the 2016 presidential election.
“I like Taylor’s music about 25% less now,” Trump said in response.
Swift told The Guardian in 2020 that Trump is “gaslighting the American public.”
“We’re a democracy – at least, we’re supposed to be – where you’re allowed to disagree, dissent, debate,” she said at the time. “I really think that he thinks this is an autocracy.”
Fox News reported that Swift also accused Trump of cheating in the 2020 presidential election.
“Trump’s calculated dismantling of USPS proves one thing clearly: He is WELL AWARE that we do not want him as our president,” she said. “He’s chosen to blatantly cheat and put millions of Americans’ lives at risk in an effort to hold on to power.”
Trump Thinks Swift Won’t Endorse Biden
That being said, it’s been years since Swift has attacked Trump, and she noticeably has yet to endorse Biden going into this year’s presidential election. Back in February, Trump speculated that it will be impossible for Swift to endorse Biden this time around after what he’s done to our country.
“I signed and was responsible for the Music Modernization Act for Taylor Swift and all other Musical Artists. Joe Biden didn’t do anything for Taylor, and never will,” Trump stated.
“There’s no way she could endorse Crooked Joe Biden, the worst and most corrupt President in the History of our Country, and be disloyal to the man who 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!”

Perhaps like millions of other young Americans, Swift and Kelce have become so disillusioned about life under the Biden regime that Trump doesn’t seem that bad to them anymore. While one arguably shouldn’t read that much into one Instagram “like,” it would certainly be hilarious to see how many liberal heads would explode if either Swift or Kelce even considered endorsing Trump!
