Travis Kelce will follow in Taylor Swift’s footsteps and endorse Kamala Harris as the next president of the United States, according to a source who spoke to DailyMail.com.
After Swift confirmed Tuesday night that she would vote for Harris over Donald Trump in this year’s presidential election, Kelce is on the verge of announcing he will do the same in November.
A source claimed the Kansas City Chiefs superstar is proud of his girlfriend for supporting Harris and “got the job done” after she did.
“Travis will definitely support Kamala and he will do so very soon, maybe within a day or two,” a source close to Kelce told DailyMail.com. “After Taylor revealed her support for Kamala, Travis knew what he had to do. He understood the task.
“I was so proud of Taylor for finally speaking out and I support her in everything she does, this will be no different. They share the same beliefs, ideals and goals, and this is one of them.
Travis Kelce will reportedly follow in Taylor Swift’s footsteps and endorse Kamala Harris as the next president of the United States.
Swift, Kelce’s girlfriend from last year, confirmed Tuesday night that she will be voting for Harris.
‘Together, they both know they can have a bigger impact on fans and voters than either of them alone.’
DailyMail.com has reached out to Kelce’s representatives for comment.
Swift’s support for Harris is not a surprise given that she has previously aligned herself with Democrats and has taken several digs at Republican leader Trump in the past.
The singer wrote on Twitter (now X) before the 2020 election, which Trump lost to Joe Biden: ‘After stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism his entire presidency, he has the nerve to feign moral superiority before threatening violence? ‘When the looting starts, the shooting starts?’
“We will vote for you in November. @realdonaldtrump.”
Kelce, meanwhile, has never publicly declared his affiliation with any political party.
However, in April many suggested that the NFL legend indicated he is a Trump supporter after liking a photo of himself at a UFC event.
Now the Chiefs star is ready to follow in his teammate’s footsteps and show his support for Democrats.
Many had suggested that Kelce was actually a Donald Trump supporter earlier this year.
Trump shared a photo of Kelce liking a photo of him meeting former ESPN anchor Sage Steele
Kelce caused consternation among Swift fans last week when it was revealed that he had liked the photo of the former president and former ESPN host Sage Steele meeting at UFC 299 in Miami in March.
Trump then further fueled speculation about his political leanings by sharing a photo of Kelce on his own platform, Truth Social.
Alongside the image, the post added: ‘Travis Kelce, star NFL tight end and boyfriend of Taylor Swift, is causing controversy after liking a post from former ESPN reporter Sage Steele and Donald Trump at a UFC event.
“I think everyone, even celebrities, are finally waking up and supporting the MAGA movement. Have liberals finally gone so far left that everyone is leaving?”
After visiting Joe Biden at the White House in May to celebrate the Chiefs’ second straight Super Bowl win, Kelce also suggested he would do so too if Trump were in power, saying on his New Heights podcast: “Anytime I get the opportunity to be recognized by the president of the United States and be able to go with my teammates and a group of men and women that I’ve had success with to the point where we’re being recognized… I do it every time, no matter who’s in charge.
“No matter what’s going on in this world, it’s an incredible opportunity.”
Kelce met Joe Biden while visiting the White House with his Kansas City teammates in May.
Travis and Taylor’s endorsement of Harris comes just weeks after Brittany Mahomes (right) sparked controversy by liking one of Trump’s Instagram posts.
Travis and Taylor’s endorsement of Harris comes just weeks after Brittany Mahomes sparked controversy by liking one of Trump’s Instagram posts outlining his proposed policies if he regains control of the White House.
Brittany, the wife of Kelce’s teammate on the Chiefs Patrick Mahomesangered Taylor’s legion of die-hard “Swiftie” fans, given that their beloved singer had publicly condemned the Republican leader prior to the previous election.
Swift and Mahomes developed a close friendship last season, when their teammates led the Chiefs to the Super Bowl once again. They were frequently seen sitting together at games and off the field as well.
But the singer’s post is the latest chapter in which she and Brittany find themselves on opposite sides of the US political spectrum. A source exclusively told DailyMail.com that they “respect that they have different views” and made a “pact” to avoid discussing politics last month.
