Donald Trump isn’t known for soft words — especially when it comes to Taylor Swift. But his reaction to her big news with Travis Kelce left many people stunned.

On August 26, Swift and Kelce shocked fans with an Instagram post: after two years of dating, they’re officially engaged. The announcement immediately sparked the question — what would the President of the United States say?

Swift and Trump have long been at odds. Their feud dates back years, fueled by her political stances and his public criticism. In 2019, Swift called his presidency an “autocracy,” and in 2020 she blasted him directly after the killing of George Floyd, pledging to vote him out.

Trump, in turn, has repeatedly targeted Swift. In 2024, after she endorsed Kamala Harris, he raged on Truth Social: “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!” He even compared her unfavorably to actress Sydney Sweeney, who he praised for an American Eagle ad, declaring Swift “NO LONGER HOT.”

Given this history, reporters pressed Trump for a response to Swift’s engagement. At first, he joked: “Well, I wish him a lot of luck,” sparking laughter from the press pool.

Then, in an unexpected turn, Trump softened his tone. “I think he’s a great player, a great guy, and I think that she’s a terrific person. So, I wish them a lot of luck,” he said.

The engagement news itself was massive. Swift and Kelce’s post gathered over 26 million likes in less than a day. FOX News broke into programming to cover it, while Google launched a golden confetti Easter egg for searches of her name.

For Swift and Kelce, the announcement caps off two years together. Insiders say they’ve long been discussing marriage and children — and now, even Trump has given them his blessing.
