Travis Kelce recently stated that “it’s a great honor” to have President Donald Trump attend Super Bowl LIX via PEOPLE.
During a media day on Wednesday, February 5th, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end was questioned to share his reaction to the news that Trump will be attending Sunday’s championship game in New Orleans which marks the first time a sitting president has attended.
“That’s awesome. It’s a great honor,” Kelce, 35, told reporters, including PEOPLE.
“I think you know, no matter who the president is, I know I’m excited because it’s the biggest game of my life, you know, and having the president there — it’s the best country in the world — and that’s pretty cool.”
The football star’s comments come months after Trump lashed out at his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, following her endorsement of former Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election.
On September 11th, a day after the singer made her support of the Democratic candidate publicly known, Trump said in an interview with Fox & Friends that he “was not a fan of Taylor Swift.”
He added, “It was just a question of time… But she’s a very liberal person. She seems to always endorse a Democrat. And she’ll probably pay a price for it in the marketplace.”
Days later, Trump then posted on social media platform Truth Social, “I hate Taylor Swift.”
