Travis Kelce recently made headlines after discussing the possibility of former President Donald Trump attending the Super Bowl. While his comments were calm and respectful, they quickly sparked a reaction from fans online. His words even led people to bring up a strong and memorable response from Broadway icon and Marvel actress Patti LuPone.

Fans resurfaced her comments about Trump from 2017, which are much more direct, especially in comparison to Kelce’s more neutral answer.

Why are people bringing up Patti LuPone after Travis Kelce’s Donald Trump comment?

When asked about Donald Trump attending the Super Bowl, Travis Kelce gave a polite and neutral response, expressing his excitement about the event regardless of who the president was via BuzzFeed. He mentioned that having Trump there would be a cool moment, as the Super Bowl is the biggest game of his life. However, his response didn’t take a strong stance on the issue and seemed more focused on the significance of the game itself.

This prompted mixed reactions from fans, especially considering Kelce’s girlfriend, Taylor Swift, has had a tumultuous relationship with Trump in the past. Fans were quick to point out the contrast between Kelce’s neutral response and Swift’s outspoken criticism of the former president, making his calmness all the more surprising.

After Kelce’s comment, many fans resurfaced a famous clip from Patti LuPone in 2017, where the Broadway icon delivered a much stronger and more fiery response when asked about Trump attending one of her shows. In her response, LuPone made it clear that she would not perform if Trump attended, expressing her strong dislike for him.

Her comments caused a stir back then, and they resurfaced online, with fans comparing her bold stance to Kelce’s more reserved answer. The video of LuPone’s response quickly went viral again, and fans flooded social media to share their thoughts. The viral clip emphasized the different ways celebrities handle political topics, with LuPone being a prominent example of someone who isn’t afraid to voice her strong opinions.

What does Ed Kelce think about Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s future?

Ed Kelce is looking forward to what’s ahead for his son, Travis Kelce, and pop icon Taylor Swift now that their schedules are about to free up. With the Kansas City Chiefs set to compete in the 2025 Super Bowl and Swift’s Eras Tour wrapped up, he believes the couple will have more time to focus on each other.

In a recent interview on Australia’s Today show, Ed Kelce shared his thoughts on what’s next for the high-profile duo. He said:

Without the NFL season, without the Eras Tour, [it will be] just them alone really connecting more. That can only be a good thing.

As reported by Today, he avoided speculating on whether his son might propose soon. When host Karl Stefanovic jokingly asked about an engagement so he could “book his fare,” Ed responded with a laugh, saying, “Did you really think I was going to come up with that?” He also steered clear of any insider information about Swift possibly performing at the Super Bowl halftime show.

However, he did have kind words for the singer, calling her a “smart young lady” and highlighting her growing knowledge of football. This isn’t the first time Ed Kelce has spoken highly of Swift. In a 2024 interview with the Los Angeles Times, he described her as “very gracious.”
