Travis Kelce is seething about Donald Trump’s attack on Taylor Swift, a source close to the NFL star has told the Daily Mail.
The president hit out at Kelce’s pop star girlfriend in a bizarre Truth Social post while he was traveling back to the US from Saudi Arabia on Friday, claiming he is the reason she is ‘no longer hot.’
‘Has anyone noticed that, since I said “I hate Taylor Swift,” she’s no longer “HOT?”‘ he wrote on his social media platform.
Trump has taken plenty of shots at Swift over the years, particularly after her endorsement of Joe Biden in the 2020 election.
But Kelce is said to be absolutely furious after Trump’s latest dig at his girlfriend, which marked an unprompted escalation in his attacks.
According to an insider, however, the 35-year-old Kansas City Chiefs tight end wants to use it as motivation at this summer’s NFL training camp rather than respond publicly and ‘open another can of worms.’

‘Travis is livid that the President of the United States is talking negatively about Taylor,’ our insider said. ‘He is so mad that he is going to use it as motivation during training for the season ahead, especially if Trump continues talking.
‘Since Travis can’t say anything publicly because that would just open another can of worms, he has to figure out ways to get it out of his system because he would love to protect Taylor and stick up for her.
‘But keeping quiet is the move he has to do right now.’
An added drama is that Trump’s outburst could threaten the close relationship between Swift and Kelce and fellow Chiefs power-couple Patrick and Brittany Mahomes, who have expressed public support for Trump without formally endorsing him.
Since Taylor began dating Travis in 2023, she and fellow WAG Brittany have developed a close friendship, bonding on nights out, vacations and while watching their footballer boyfriends’ games.
Kelce, meanwhile, is best buddies with Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, his teammate of the last eight years.
‘One thing that is good, is it isn’t causing any drama with his teammates as of yet, especially with Brittany Mahomes being a Trump supporter, there is no ill will with Patrick. They don’t talk about politics around each other,’ our insider reassured.
‘But as of right now, Travis just hates that Taylor has to be brought up in these conversations, especially from a man who is supposed to be protecting and serving all Americans. It is very frustrating.’

Trump’s attack on Swift comes at a difficult time for the star amid her involvement in the ongoing legal battle between her former best friend Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni.
After months of speculation, a bombshell legal letter this week revealed the explosive alleged ‘threats’ that are believed to have shattered Lively and Swift’s 10-year friendship.
The court letter, submitted Wednesday by actor Baldoni’s legal team amid his dispute with his It Ends With Us co-star Lively, claimed the actress tried to coerce Swift into siding with her publicly by threatening to leak years’ worth of their private text messages.
For her part, Swift is fighting back after she was dramatically subpoenaed in the case by Baldoni’s legal team last week.
In a statement, her publicist insisted: ‘Taylor Swift never set foot on the set of this movie, she was not involved in any casting or creative decisions, she did not score the film, she never saw an edit or made any notes on the film. She did not even see It Ends With Us until weeks after its public release.’
