With the crew again for organized crew actions (OTAs) already, Mahomes was requested about Kelce after the TE missed one follow however returned for the remaining. “I do know his physique feels good,” Mahomes stated. “I feel it feels higher than even final yr, earlier than going into final yr, simply because I feel he’s motivated to go on the market and have an excellent higher yr than he did this previous yr.”
No drama there, simply soccer. This comes after experiences that Kelce is fairly mad on the manner President Trump has talked about his girlfriend, Taylor Swift. Kelce has by no means outright spoken towards Trump, and in a pre-Tremendous Bowl convention stated, about Trump’s attendance to the sport, “I feel, you realize, regardless of who the president is, I do know I’m excited as a result of it’s the largest recreation of my life, you realize, and having the president there, you realize, it’s one of the best nation on this planet. So, that’d be fairly cool.”
Nonetheless, on Could 16, on the social media app Reality Social, President Trump requested his followers, “Has anybody seen that, since I stated ‘I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,’ she’s not ‘HOT?’” That is removed from the primary time President Trump has talked about Taylor Swift, beforehand posting “I hate Taylor Swift,” days after she endorsed Kamala Harris for President.
Swift has been fairly open about endorsing Democratic candidates and talked about her want to make use of her voice in her 2020 Netflix documentary Miss Americana.

However retaining quiet is the transfer he has to do proper now.”
No affirmation on whether or not meaning retaining quiet on his actual opinions to his good friend and QB, however the two nonetheless seem like on good phrases, or no less than able to deal with a brand new season collectively. As for Taylor Swift herself and Mahomes’ spouse, Brittany, who has been extra open about her help for Trump, that is still to be seen. Maybe they’ll put apart political preferences. Or maybe you simply don’t wish to be buddies with somebody who would help a person overtly insulting you again and again. Time will inform.
