By the measures of fame and fortune, Taylor Swift is bringing more into her planned union with Travis Kelce than the veteran NFL tight end.
Just don’t tell that to right-wing podcaster and MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk, who sees their engagement as the Kelce’s opportunity to subjugate his fiancée.
‘This is something that I hope will make Taylor Swift more conservative,’ Kirk told his audience on Real America’s Voice. ‘Engage in reality more… Reject feminism. Submit to your husband, Taylor. You’re not in charge.’
Kirk, whose advice came unsolicited, went on to suggest that Swift could ‘go from a cat lady to a JD Vance supporter’ by marrying the Kansas City Chiefs star.
‘I think we should celebrate that,’ Vance said. ‘She should have more children than she has houses.’
Various reports put Swift’s real estate portfolio at around eight houses, although she might be adding a few more with her upcoming marriage to Kelce, depending on their financial arrangement.
Never mind her lucrative career and exalted status, Kirk says: Swift needs to submit to Kelce

But Kirk wasn’t getting bogged down by details. He thinks Swift should have ‘tons of children,’ which he framed as a cure for her ‘annoyingly liberal’ behavior ‘over the last couple of years.’
Swift has infuriated President Donald Trump and the MAGA faithful by supporting each of his last two campaign opponents.
Kirk has received negative reactions from two fan bases in recent weeks: Major League Baseball’s Chicago Cubs and the NFL’s Baltimore Ravens.
Ravens fans were irked after quarterback Lamar Jackson re-posted a pro-Jesus message from Kirk on X.
‘It’s all about Jesus,’ read the X post from Kirk, the Turning Point USA co-founder.
In itself, the post isn’t altogether different from what Jackson typically puts on social media. A devout Christian, Jackson’s X page is dominated by bible verses, baptisms and some occasional football content.

Many suggested that Jackson was focused on the pro-Christ message and not its author
While some conservatives accused Democrats of religious intolerance, liberals pushed back
Jackson’s decision to repost a message from Charlie Kirk rankled some football fans
But Kirk has faced accusations of racism for his attacks on diversity initiatives and the idea of white privilege, making Jackson’s re-post a bit more divisive than his others.
‘Kirk is outright racist and would easily throw Lamar to the cotton fields,’ wrote one critic about the white podcaster and black NFL star. ‘It’s so tone deaf.’
‘Lamar Jackson out here retweeting Charlie Kirk,’ another wrote. ‘Hope he continues to choke in the playoffs.’
It was baseball fans’ turn to get upset days later when Kirk posted picture of himself with Chicago’s Matt Shaw and Michael Busch at Wrigley Field.
‘Dislike the Cubs even more!’ Wrote one baseball fan.
‘Hopefully most cubs fans have the decency to flip you off,’ another added.
