Here's What Donald Trump has to Say About Taylor Swift's Engagement

When Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce announced their engagement on August 26, 2025, it created a media whirlwind—one that even prompted commentary from President Donald Trump. Despite his history of harsh remarks, Trump offered a noticeably diplomatic response that stood in stark contrast to past rhetoric.

During a Cabinet meeting, reporters broke the news and asked the President for his reaction. Trump replied, “I wish them a lot of luck. I think he’s a great player, I think he’s a great guy, and I think that she’s a terrific person.” His tone, unexpectedly warm, offered a rare moment of positivity directed toward the pop superstar.

That response was all the more striking given Trump's previous public disdain. In September 2024, following Swift’s endorsement of his then-opponent Kamala Harris, Trump famously declared in all capital letters: “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT.” And just this past May, he added another jibe on Truth Social, quipping that since he said he hated her, “she’s no longer ‘HOT?’”

Trump’s softened tone this time—calling Swift “a terrific person”—signals a rare moment of cordiality in a relationship otherwise full of political crosswinds. Whether this marks a shift in his public posture or simply a class requested, it nonetheless makes for a headline-worthy pivot.
