Trump previously stated that he &ldquo;hates her&rdquo; in response to her endorsement of his political opponent, Kamala Harris, during the 2024 presidential campaign. At the time, Swift voiced her support for Harris, stating, &ldquo;We can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos.&rdquo;\n</p><p>Despite the controversy, Swift has stood by Kelce, clarifying that his statement was not an endorsement of Trump but rather a show of respect for the office of the presidency, regardless of who holds it.\n</p><p>&nbsp;\n</p><blockquote class='\"twitter-tweet\"'>\n<p dir='\"ltr\"' lang='\"en\"'>\u201cThat\u2019s awesome, it\u2019s a great honor no matter who the president is.\u201d\n</p><p>Travis Kelce on President Trump attending the Super Bowl on Sunday. <a href="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/t.co%5C/N6uFKDACoa%5C%22" target='\"_blank\"'>pic.twitter.com\/N6uFKDACoa\n<p>\u2014 New York Post Sports (@nypostsports) <a href="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/twitter.com%5C/nypostsports%5C/status%5C/1887153075988644026?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%5C%22" target='\"_blank\"' rel='\"noopener\"'>February 5, 2025\n<p>Ahead of the big game, Kelce shared his thoughts on the president\u2019s attendance, saying, &ldquo;It\u2019s awesome.
