The US President has not always been entirely complimentary about Taylor Swift – and he was asked about her wedding announcement during a cabinet meeting.
Donald Trump has given his view on Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce announcing their engagement.
The US President – who has had bad blood with Swift for years – was asked about her wedding announcement during a cabinet meeting.
But he seems to have calmed down in his opinion of the world’s most successful pop star.
“I wish them a lot of luck,” he said after being told of the engagement, which was announced as Trump was holding a cabinet meeting that stretched on for almost three hours.
“I think he’s a great player, he’s a great guy, and I think she’s a terrific person.”
Trump has frequently expressed his distaste for Swift on his Truth Social account in recent years.
After Swift endorsed Kamala Harris in August last year, he simply posted “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!”
And this May he posted a follow-up to his attack.
“Has anyone noticed that, since I said ‘I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,’ she’s no longer ‘HOT?’”, he wrote.
In a 2023 interview with Variety magazine, Trump said Swift was “unusually beautiful” and added “I hear she’s very talented.”
But he added: “She’s legitimately liberal? It’s not an act? It surprises me that a country star can be successful being liberal.”
The Love Story singer, 35, made the announcement in a joint Instagram post with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Kelce, which showed pictures of him proposing to her and the pair embracing in a garden.
The post read: “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”
Swift, who has 280 million Instagram followers, also posted a heart on her Instagram story with her song So High School from the anthology version of album The Tortured Poets Department, which is said to have been written about her fiance, playing in the background.
