Pop icon Taylor Swift is well-known for being an opponent to President Donald Trump. But one recent photo has some people believing that she may have supported him.
A recent photo of Swift, her boyfriend Travis Kelce and two others has been making the rounds. In the photo, all of the men are standing with their arms straight down looking into the camera.
In a post on X that’s been going viral, a user remarked that the pose they strike is the same one used by President Trump and his allies. The user also accuses Kelce of being a Republican.
“Taylor Swift with her republican boyfriend and his republican friends referencing a Donald Trump pose….” the user wrote.
But fans of Swift quickly worked to try and disprove the claim.
“That’s a stretch. Even if she was, which is a big fat if, what the hell is it to you? I bet you’d be surprised by the way a lot of people have voted, but really, it’s not any of your damn business. Just cause you bought her album doesn’t give you the right to choose who she votes for. The sheer entitlement is nauseating, and frankly it’s corrupted your whole party. You ran a drunken (expletive) and you’re shocked that not everyone was all in?? Grow up,” one user replied.
“Oh stfu. That pose isn’t Trump coded. And people can be friends with others from other political parties without being traitors. People have gotten so weird,” wrote another.

“Umm…. Do your homework. Kelce took a knee on the field for BLM. Did an ad for covid vaccine. Spoke out on gun violence. And openly advocated for support for gay players in the NFL. Try again!” a third wrote.
“I guarantee neither Taylor or Travis is a Republican. Think about what Trump has said about Taylor. Plus I think Travis is comfortable enough in his masculinity that he doesn’t need the macho Trump vibe. I doubt that Donna Kelce is a Republican and that might influence Travis.”
There are a lot of things you can accuse Taylor Swift of. But being a private or even a public supporter of President Trump is probably a losing battle.
