Taylor Swift is reportedly not upset with Travis Kelce despite the backlash he has faced from Swifties after he described Donald Trump's presence at Super Bowl LVIII as an "honor."

Swift and Trump's public feud has been long-standing, with the former president openly declaring his hatred for Swift after she endorsed Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election.

However, sources close to the pop superstar insist that there has been no argument or fallout between Swift and Kelce over his recent remarks.

During a Super Bowl press conference, Kelce was asked how he felt about Trump attending the game in New Orleans.

"It's awesome. It's a great honor, I think, no matter who the president is," Kelce responded. "I'm excited because it's the biggest game of my life and having the president there-it's the best country in the world-and that's pretty cool."

Kelce's neutral response triggered an intense backlash from Swift's fanbase, with many feeling he should have taken a stronger stance given Trump's history of insulting Swift.

Despite the social media firestorm, insiders insist that Swift does not see an issue with Kelce's remarks and understands why he chose to remain neutral.

A source close to Swift told DailyMail.com that she did not take offense to Kelce's comment, nor has it caused any tension in their relationship.

"Taylor is not angry at Travis for what he said," the insider stated. "Although Travis's quote was taken as if he s Trump, this is not what Travis said at all."

"He never actually even said the word Trump. Travis was speaking on behalf of his entire team and all of his fans when he said it is an honor to have the President of the United States at the game, and he would have said the same thing regardless of who the president was."

Another insider clarified that Kelce was trying to be diplomatic, considering that some of his teammates and friends are Trump ers.

"Travis answered the way he did because some of his teammates and friends Trump, and even though he has attacked Taylor in the past, he doesn't want to get embroiled in a controversy that she gets sucked into, which would have happened if he'd said something derogatory."

"He just wants to get to the game, win, and move forward without any craziness."
