For some reason, even Donald Trump was asked to weigh in on the news, despite his apparent dislike of the singer. Last September, on Truth Social, a social media platform owned by Trump Media & Technology Group, he felt the need to post, “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!” It seems he has since forgotten the bad blood between them.
@bbcnews The US president wished Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce 'a lot of luck' when hearing of the news of their engagement during a cabinet meeting. #TaylorSwiftNews #TravisKelce #DonaldTrump #US #President #KansasCityChiefs #Engagement #Marriage #Celebrity #News #BBCNews ♬ original sound – BBC News
