Travis Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs star, is facing criticism for chatting it up with Kai Trump, the granddaughter of President Trump.
On Tuesday night, both Kelce and Trump were in attendance at a The Golf League event, airing live on ESPN. Kelce's brother, Jason, was part of the broadcast. Trump's mother's boyfriend, Tiger Woods, was leading his Jupiter team in the match.
Footage of Kelce chatting it up with Swift quickly went viral on social media.
Tyler Boronski, a freelance journalist, shared the video online.
Kelce's fiancee, Taylor Swift, endorsed Kamala Harris in the 2024 Presidential Election. She was publicly called out by President Trump, too.
"I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT," President Trump wrote on Truth Social, later adding: "Has anyone noticed that, since I said 'I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,' she's no longer 'HOT?'"
President Trump also mocked Kelce for losing to the Eagles in Super Bowl 59.
"I was there along with Taylor Swift," the president said at the time. "How did that work out?" he asked, before repeating his question: "How did that one work out?"

Fans criticize Kelce for interacting with President Trump's granddaughter
While it's unclear if Kelce even knew who Kai Trump was, some fans have a problem with him smiling, chatting and interacting with the granddaughter of a U.S. President who has publicly trashed his fiancee.
"Not a good look! That's all i'm gonna say!" one fan wrote.
"Tay is better than me I'd start a fight," one fan added.
"Bad look for Travis!" one fan added.
"These people can't say a word against Donald Trump but have no problem rubbing elbows with his family or supporters. Greedy and craven," one fan added.
Others, meanwhile, are defending Kelce.
