Trump praises Taylor Swift’s boyfriend Travis Kelce before attending Super Bowl

• Super Bowl star Travis Kelce said it would be a "great honor" to have Donald Trump at the game.
• In response, Trump called Kelce the "absolute best tight end in football."
• Trump earlier said he hates Taylor Swift, Kelce's popstar girlfriend.

President Donald Trump has a history of "Bad Blood" with Taylor Swift, but that isn't stopping Travis Kelce, Swift's boyfriend, from laying down the welcome mat for the president ahead of Super Bowl weekend.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end said it would be "awesome" and a "great honor" for the president to attend the Super Bowl in New Orleans this Sunday, when the Chiefs will face off against the Philadelphia Eagles.

"No matter who the president is, I know I'm excited because it's the biggest game of my life," Kelce said on Wednesday. "Having the president there — you know, it's the best country in the world, so it will be pretty cool."

It will be the first time a sitting president has attended the Super Bowl. Trump said on Truth Social that he planned to give an interview before the game.

Trump called Kelce the "absolute best tight end in football (Ever!)" in a post on Truth Social on Friday morning, adding that it will be a "great game."

The warm exchange between Trump and Kelce, however, comes months after the president announced his dislike of Swift, who endorsed Kamala Harris before the presidential election.

"I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!" he wrote in a Truth Social post in September.

Swift has been a regular presence at Kelce's games and is widely expected to attend the Super Bowl on Sunday, putting the president and the popstar on a possible collision course.

A spokesperson for Swift did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
