Love can bring you to crazy things. For Taylor Swift it meant that she appeared in the sports podcast “New Heights” of her current fiancee Travis Kelce. For Donald Trump it meant that he forgot that he hate Swift and described her three weeks ago as “Woke singer”, who was “no longer hot”. In response to Swift and Kelce’s engagement message, the President said during a cabinet meeting that he wished the couple “good luck”.
Trump’s old feud with Swift
His praise started with Kelce: “I think he’s a great player, I think he is a great guy.” Then he forgotten the forgotten and all the criticism that he had shown Swift – including his malice, that she was booed at the Super Bowl, the same game in which her friend played for the team, to whom Trump pushed her thumb – suddenly disappeared. “And I think she is a great person,” he said. “So I wish you the best of luck.”
Trump’s one -sided feud with Swift started in 2018 when she supported the democratic Senate candidate Phil Bredesen in Tennessee against Republican Marsha Blackburn. “I’m sure Taylor Swift doesn’t know anything,” he said at the time. “I like Taylor’s music about 25 percent less, okay?”
Kelce has hardly publicly commented on Trump. Before the Super Bowl in February, the Tight End of the Kansas City Chiefs reacted to the news that the president might take part in the game with the words: “This is great. It is a great honor. I think, no matter who the president is, I am excited because it is the greatest game of my life, you know, and the president – that’s the best country in the world – and that’s pretty cool.”
Old preferences and new headlines
In September last year, Trump said that he preferred Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Chiefs Quarterback Patrick Mahomes, Swift. Perhaps he hopes to suddenly start liking Pro-Maga posts on social media. It is the same man who actually believed that with the sentence “I hate Taylor Swift” on truth social to be able to convince others to hate the planet’s greatest pop star too. “Has anyone noticed that since I said ‘I hate Taylor Swift’, she was no longer ‘hot’?” He asked in May. Nobody noticed it – mostly Kelce.
When Swift appeared in the Podcast New Heights, Kelce enthused: she was “so hot when she says big words”. And when the couple announced his engagement, they subordinate the mail with the song so high school from The Tortured Poets Department, in which she sings: “You know how to ball, i know aristotle.” Your joint engagement post was appropriately titled: “Your English teacher and your sports teacher.”
