Travis Kelce is showing support for Taylor Swift, just not the way the internet expected.
After Donald Trump took a swipe at the pop icon by declaring she is “NO LONGER HOT” in a Truth Social post, fans across social media were quick to jump to Swift’s defense and some wondered whether Kelce would weigh in too.
Instead, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end took a quieter approach.
A Quiet Show of Support
According to a source close to the couple, Kelce made it clear behind the scenes that his support for Swift is rock solid, even if he chose not to respond publicly.
“Taylor knows exactly how Travis feels about this situation with Trump and privately they are on the same page,” the insider told the Daily Mail.
“He is supporting her with continued love and respect, but publicly Travis is going to let Trump be a sandbag and let it slip by — for now.”
In other words, Kelce is backing Swift where it matters most: in private, away from the noise and drama.
Staying Grounded Before the NFL Season
With his 13th NFL season just around the corner, Kelce is focused on preparation, not political controversy.

That level-headed mindset aligns with how Kelce has navigated fame over the last year. While he’s appeared at Swift’s concerts, danced with fans, and even shared glimpses of their relationship on Instagram, he’s been careful not to let headlines, or hot takes, distract from football or Swift’s artistic spotlight.
Letting Taylor Lead the Narrative
While many public couples might rush to make a joint statement or fire back online, Kelce’s trust in Swift seems to be part of the reason for his silence.
“He also appreciates how much of a strong woman Taylor is,” the source added. “If anyone is going to say anything about it, he’d like her to sound off on it if need be.”
That’s consistent with their dynamic: mutual respect, shared strength, and an understanding that not everything needs to play out on social media.
A Couple That Handles Controversy Their Own Way
Despite being one of the most talked-about couples in entertainment and sports, Swift and Kelce continue to handle controversy with a mix of calm, unity, and quiet strength.
Whether they’re dodging politics, dodging paparazzi, or dodging defenders on the field, it’s clear they’re doing it side by side and on their own terms.
