The pop culture world was abuzz on Tuesday, August 26, 2025, with the announcement of pop superstar Taylor Swift's engagement to Super Bowl-winning NFL player Travis Kelce. The couple shared the news in a joint Instagram post, sending fans into a frenzy. Swift, known for her record-breaking music career, captioned the post, "Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married," accompanied by several photos from their engagement, including one showing Kelce on bended knee.

Their relationship has captivated headlines worldwide over the past two years, with fans eagerly following their public appearances. The pair began dating after Kelce caught Swift's attention during one of her Eras Tour performances in Kansas City, Missouri, in 2023, marking the beginning of their high-profile romance.

In a surprising turn of events, even former US President Donald Trump weighed in on the engagement. During a crucial Cabinet meeting, a reporter informed Trump of the major pop culture news. Trump, upon hearing the news, offered his well-wishes, stating, "I wish him a lot of luck. I think he's a great player. I think he's a great guy. And I think that she's a terrific person. So I wish them a lot of luck," a comment that garnered attention given his past public statements regarding the singer.

This positive reaction from Trump contrasted sharply with his previous remarks about Swift. On September 15, 2024, Trump had notably written on Truth Social, "I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!" These comments had followed Swift's endorsement of former Vice President Kamala Harris in September 2024, a move that echoed her previous support for former President Joe Biden during the 2020 presidential campaign. Furthermore, earlier in May 2025, Trump had also questioned Swift's popularity, posting, "Has anyone noticed that, since I said 'I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,' she's no longer 'HOT?'", making his recent well-wishes a notable shift in his public stance towards the global icon.
