Liberal singer Taylor Swift's fan base of people who call themselves “Swifties” in honor of her Kansas City Chiefs tight end boyfriend Travis Kelce “liked” a pro-Donald post. I'm reportedly losing my mind this week. erase.
Kelce 'Likes' Sage Steele's Instagram Post
Newsweek reports that it all started last month when former ESPN host Sage Steele, long known for her conservative views, posted a series of photos and videos on Instagram of herself enjoying a night out with former President Trump. reported. At UFC 299.

(Check out the last video – “Final moments of the main card fight.. so intense!!!) 🇺🇸#ufc299,” she captioned the post.
Anticipating the liberal backlash he would inevitably receive for boldly posting a photo of himself with Trump, Steele ended his caption: “(Signaling divisive and close thoughts and 3…2…1…😂) #DiversityofThoughts.”
Swifties meltdown
The post is from March 10th, but it resurfaced a few days ago when Swift's liberal fans were shocked and dismayed to discover that Kelce had “liked” it, and it didn't take long for them to have a complete meltdown. method.
“I didn’t expect Travis Kelce to be a Trump supporter but here he is,” one user commented, while another added, “Don’t Travis Kelce like posts with Trump in them???”
Others claimed to have seen this happen, with one person asking: “Does Travis kelce like TRUMP? Never in a million years would I have imagined something like this would happen. This is shocking news!! What are your future plans? Is the grass green? “Is the sun a star???”
Trump and Swift's History

While Kelce appears to have remained relatively quiet about politics over the years, Swift is known to be a radical liberal who has spoken out against Trump several times in the past. In 2020, Swift criticized Trump for “fueling the fires of white supremacy and racism” in response to his comments condemning the violence that spread across the country following the death of George Floyd.
“After stoking the flames of white supremacy and racism throughout your presidency, do you have the courage to feign moral superiority 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 for you in November. @realdonaldtrump.”
In the Netflix documentary “Miss Americana,” Swift talked about how much she regrets not publicly opposing Trump during the 2016 presidential election.
President Trump responded, “I like Taylor’s music about 25% less now.”
Swift told the Guardian in 2020 that Trump was “gaslighting the American public.”
“We are a democracy,” she said at the time. At least that's how it should be. It’s a place where you can disagree, object and debate,” she said. “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 Postal Service clearly proves one thing. “He knows we don’t want him as president,” she said. “He was chosen to blatantly cheat and put the lives of millions of Americans at risk to stay in power.”
Trump thinks Swift won't support Biden
That said, it's been a few years since Swift attacked Trump, and it's notable that she has yet to endorse Biden, who is running for president this year. In February, Trump speculated that it would be impossible for Swift to support Biden after what he has done to our country.
“I signed and took charge of the Music Modernization Act for Taylor Swift and all other musical artists. Joe Biden has not done anything for Taylor and will not do anything for her,” Trump said.
“There is no way she could support 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, I like her boyfriend Travis, even though he’s a liberal and probably can’t stand me!”

Perhaps like millions of other young Americans, Swift and Kelce have become so disillusioned with life under Biden that Trump no longer seems so bad to them. You shouldn't read that much into one Instagram like, but it sure would be fun to see how many liberals would explode if Swift or Kelce considered endorsing Trump!
