\n\tDonald Trump<\/a> appears to be changing course when it comes to Taylor Swift<\/a>. A few hours after the music icon announced her engagement<\/a> to NFL star Travis Kelce<\/a>, Trump was asked during a cabinet meeting to weigh in on the upcoming nuptials. The U.S. president has been notoriously anti-Swift <\/a>on social media for months, posting on Truth Social earlier this summer: \u201cHas anyone noticed that, since I said \u2018I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,\u2019 she\u2019s no longer \u2018HOT?\u2019\u201d But Trump surprisingly praised Swift amid news of her engagement.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWell, I wish them a lot of luck,\u201d Trump said. \u201cHe\u2019s a great player, and I think he\u2019s a great guy, and I think that she\u2019s a terrific person, so I wish them a lot of luck.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSwift and Kelce announced their engagement in a joint social media post on Instagram. The duo posted celebratory photos alongside the caption: \u201cYour English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tTrump has routinely targeted Swift on social media ever since she endorsed Kamala Harris over him during the 2024 presidential election. Swift endorsed Harris\u00a0<\/a>for president in September shortly after Harris and Trump\u2019s first presidential debate. At that point, Swift had already called out Trump for previously using\u00a0a fake image of her\u00a0<\/a>to make it appear that she was endorsing him instead. Trump warned that Swift\u2019s music sales would suffer due to her endorsement, although that was not the case.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWell I actually like Mrs. Mahomes much better. If you want to know the truth. She\u2019s a big Trump fan. I was not a Taylor Swift fan,\u201d Trump said on \u201cFox & Friends\u201d when asked the morning after about Swift\u2019s endorsement for Harris. \u201cIt was only a matter of time. You couldn\u2019t possibly endorse Biden. But she\u2019s a very liberal person. She seems to always endorse a Democrat and she\u2019ll probably pay a price for it in the marketplace. But I like Brittany. Brittany is great. She\u2019s the one I like much better than Taylor Swift. Wife of the great quarterback. I think she\u2019s terrific.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBrittany Mahomes is married to Patrick Mahomes, the quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs. Patrick is close friends and teammates with Travis Kelce, who is now Swift\u2019s fianc\u00e9.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn her endorsement of Kamala Harris, Swift wrote that the former vice president \u201cfights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them. I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election,\u201d Swift continued. \u201cI\u2019m voting for Kamala Harris\u00a0because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them. I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos. I was so heartened and impressed by her selection of running mate Tim Walz, who has been standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman\u2019s right to her own body for decades.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tTrump continued to throw shade at Swift in the following months, including using social media to celebrate the moment<\/a> Swift was booed at the Super Bowl in February. Trump wrote: \u201cThe only one that had a tougher night than the Kansas City Chiefs was Taylor Swift. She got BOOED out of the Stadium. MAGA is very unforgiving!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSwift and Kelce first went public with their relationship in October 2023. The announcement of their engagement arrived just over a month before the Oct. 3 release of Swift\u2019s 12th studio album, \u201cThe Life of a Showgirl.\u201d<\/p>\n
