As the 2025 Super Bowl approaches with the Kansas City Chiefs facing the Philadelphia Eagles, Travis Kelce shared his feelings about Donald Trump’s attendance at the game. During a press conference on February 5, he expressed, “That’s awesome. It’s a great honor.” Nevertheless, he stopped short of endorsing Trump, emphasizing America’s greatness instead. Kelce’s comments were unexpected, particularly due to Trump’s fraught relationship with his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, who faced harsh criticism from Trump after she backed Kamala Harris in the 2024 election.
Kelce previously faced scrutiny for not aligning with Swift’s political views. After Trump was elected, he shared Chiefs photos on Instagram but was criticized by fans for not being mindful of the political climate. Trump’s influence also extended to Kelce’s teammate, Patrick Mahomes, who was similarly asked about Trump’s presence at the Super Bowl. Mahomes responded positively, indicating it’s special to play before a sitting president. Trump had previously referred to Brittany Mahomes on social media, causing a stir due to her support for Trump.
Donald Trump admires Brittany Mahomes and Patrick Mahomes
Brittany Mahomes encountered significant backlash after liking one of Donald Trump’s Instagram posts in August 2024, which outlined his election platform. Following the viral reaction, she defended her actions on social media, asserting that it’s possible to love someone while disagreeing with their views. Her endorsement stirred discussions as Trump praised her support on his platform, expressing excitement for the Super Bowl with the Mahomes family.
When asked about Trump’s acknowledgment, Patrick Mahomes remained neutral, highlighting that his focus is on his family and how they treat others. Although the Mahomeses didn’t overtly support Trump, the former president seemed keen to affiliate himself with them, celebrating the Chiefs’ success and the support from their fans after their AFC Championship victory.
