'Where is her self-respect?' Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce spark fury after posing with 'MAGA' stars

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift sparked a meltdown among her fanbase after they were seeing hanging out with the 'MAGA' co-hosts of Bussin' With The Boys. The popular show is presented by former NFL players Will Compton and Taylor Lewan and earlier this week they posted a picture with the power couple. They captioned the post: 'Confirmed: Taylor Swift is FOR THE BOYS.' But the viral image has caused fury among Swifties, one of whom asked: 'Where the f*** is her self-respect?' Donald Trump appeared on Bussin With The Boys ahead of last year's election and the ex-NFL stars were even given a shoutout during his victory celebrations. Dana White has namechecked the podcast for helping propel Trump to victory over Kamala Harris. Back in 2023, Compton and Lewan were also seen shaking hands with the president at a UFC event. Now, Taylor's decision to be pictured with the co-hosts has prompted a furious reaction on social media. In reaction to the image, one Swiftie wrote: 'You are who you surround yourself with.' Another accused the singer of having 'zero self-respect.' They added: 'When ICE is abducting people from the streets , this is who she chooses to align herself with. Show me who your friends are and I'll tell you who you are.' Taylor publicly endorsed Harris ahead of last year's election, while Trump has made clear his dislike for the singer. On social media last year, Trump wrote: 'I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!' before attacking her again in recent weeks. He wrote: 'Has anyone noticed that, since I said "I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT," she's no longer "HOT?"' The cruel have not been forgotten by her fans in the light of her picture with Bussin With The Boys. One asked: 'The fact that she still associates with people who are MAGA when Trump himself has personally attacked her…. where the f*** is her self-respect.' Another added: 'Imagine being rich enough to make the world a slightly better place... then actively choosing to surround yourself with these thugs instead. What a waste.' taylor and travis singing love story with george kittle omg this is so good — fan | veronica⸆⸉ (@thisisvertrying) June 27, 2025 The controversial snap comes after Taylor has been supporting Travis at his Tight End University event in Nashville this week, but the singer also shared a cool moment with another one of the tight ends. Taylor surprised those in the crowd by getting on stage and signing her hit song Shake It Off with a full band behind her. More videos appeared of Taylor singing and enjoying herself while Haley Cavinder, the social media star and fiancee of tight end Jake Ferguson, was next to her. Now, a few days after the event came to a close, San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle posted a video of the time he shared with the performer. George recorded a selfie video of him standing next to Taylor as the pair belted out her classic hit Love Story as the song played at the bar they were visiting. At one point, George panned the camera around and appeared to show Travis singing along as well. The tight ends appearance in the video is a nice surprise after a week where he beamed with joy at Taylor surprise showing at the event he started with George and former tight end Greg Olsen. In a rare public display of affection for her on social media, Travis used his adorable nickname for her, writing: 'Turn me up Tay Tay!!!' The performance marked the first time Swift had sung publicly since the end of her sold-out worldwide Eras Tour, and she performed an acoustic rendition of her hit song Shake It Off. Taylor told the crowd: 'We planned that three minutes ago' shortly before she left the stage to huge cheers.

'Taylor could not have been kinder, more nice, and she was like, "I think it might be fun to go sing 'Shake It Off'". And we were like, "It'd be amazing. Twist my arm, Taylor, please,"' he said. Speaking to Fox News Digital , Kittle added: 'She was fantastic. For the venue that, I think, it was maybe 1,000 people, that was the loudest 1,000 people I've ever heard in my entire life.

Taylor Swift Under Fire For 'Hanging Out With MAGA' After Posing For A Photo With Popular Podcast Co-Hosts

Taylor Swift has raised eyebrows after she and her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, were pictured with podcasters Taylor Lewan and Will Compton. Fans of the pop star have since taken to social media to share their opinions on the viral photos, with some even calling her out for it. Meanwhile, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's relationship is waxing strong, with the couple recently making their red carpet debut after dating for over a year. Swift and her boyfriend, Kelce, are receiving massive backlash online after a behind-the-scenes photo captured them posing cheerfully with popular podcasters, Taylor Lewan and Will Compton, even though the singer previously endorsed Democratic nominees during elections. The image emerged from Kelce's yearly Tight End University event in Nashville on Tuesday night, where Swift took to the stage and performed an acoustic rendition of her hit song "Shake It Off." In the snap, the couple can be seen standing next to the "Bussin' With The Boys" podcasters as they all flexed their muscles and kept a straight face for the camera. Compton and Lewan seemingly campaigned for Donald Trump when they shared a video of the now-president shaking their hands. "Firm handshakes for The Boys and 47," they wrote on it at the time, along with an emoji of the American flag. Now, the image with Swift has gone viral online. A Reddit post with thousands of comments read: "Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift flexing with Barstool MAGA podcaster influencer bros Taylor Lewan and Will Compton." Several fans have shared their seemingly shocked reactions to the image of Swift and the podcast hosts. One viral post on X read, "The fact that Taylor now hangs with MAGA folks tells me all i need to know about how performative she is, where is that 'I want to be on the right side of history' girl gone?" Another stated, "I need Tayvis to be over so bad. It has brought nothing but [Taylor] hanging out with MAGA." A person commented, "Taylor's on my last nerve like girl, you've gotta wrap up this MAGA wag era asap and get serious." Another said, "Taylor Swift won't stop hanging out in MAGA hotbeds and isn't even releasing music to distract me from that fact... okay!" It's worth noting that Lewan and Compton's political affiliations are unknown, and they interview various people on their podcast, including politicians from all parties. Amid the heavy criticisms, some fans defended Swift, stating that she has been vocal about her political stance in recent years. "People trying to push Taylor is MAGA, meanwhile, Trump has been throwing temper tantrums over her since 2019," a fan commented. Another stated, "So Taylor poses with a few NFL dudes and now she's MAGA? If proximity equals politics, half of you are in trouble at family dinner for sure. Newsflash: Guilt by association isn't a personality trait. She's dating a tight end, not running for office." "How the hell would she know that they were MAGA. This is why I want Taylor Swift to break up with him. He is going to get her into a lot of problems," a third user said. Meanwhile, Swift and Kelce's relationship appears to be going well, with the couple showing some PDA while at the recent event. Although the Kansas City Chiefs star was quite busy at the Tight End University event, which he co-founded alongside fellow tight ends George Kittle and Greg Olsen in 2021, he appeared smitten with the singer amd couldn't take his eyes off her. The couple achieved another milestone in their romance as they appeared together on the red carpet for the first time since they started dating more than a year ago. In a snap that emerged on Sunday, Swift had her arms wrapped around the NFL star's neck as she leaned in to the beaming Kelce. While at the Tight End University event, the "Love Story" singer surprised fans with her first performance in months, following a break after the end of her highly successful Eras Tour. NFL star George Kittle showered praises on Swift, admitting that she put on an "incredible" surprise performance at the event. "She was fantastic. For the venue that, I think, it was maybe 1,000 people, that was the loudest 1,000 people I've ever heard in my entire life," he told Fox News. "It was an incredible experience. I think everybody had a lot of fun just watching that one live." The basketball star went further to share details of the event, saying the singer's surprise performance was all her idea. "Taylor could not have been kinder, more nice, and she was like, 'I think it might be fun to go sing 'Shake It Off.' And we were like, 'It'd be amazing. Twist my arm, Taylor, please,'" he added.

Fans outraged over backstage photo of Taylor Swift: ‘Delete this'

A behind-the-scenes photo of Taylor Swift and her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, posing with two controversial podcasters has sparked outrage online. In the pic, the singer could be seen standing innocently enough next to her NFL star boyfriend, but it was the presence of podcasters and MAGA supporters Taylor Lewan and Will Compton that raised eyebrows. The former NFL stars, who now host the Bussin' With The Boys podcast, shared the pic to social media, featuring themselves stood beside Kelce and Swift all flexing their muscles and gazing intently towards the camera. 'Confirmed: Taylor Swift is FOR THE BOYS,' the influencers captioned the photo. The picture and the accompanying caption has sparked commentary on social media given Swift previously endorsed Democratic nominee Kamala Harris ahead of the US presidential race last year against Donald Trump, who Lewan and Compton support. 'But, The Boys are for Trump,' one user tweeted on X, while another commented, 'Get away from taylor!' Another user simply urged the men to 'delete this' because 'taylor swift is FOR THE GIRLS'. 'She actually is not [for the boys], have you ever listened to her songs lol,' another fan argued, as one echoed, 'No she is not. 'F the patriarchy' if I remember correctly', referring to lyrics from Swift's hit song All Too Well. The post has also caused confusion among online users who are well aware that Swift is selective of the events she attends and who she is photographed with. 'Taylor Swift is so aware about when she is seen and who she is seen with. She curates her persona so carefully and while she may not be MAGA she is okay with being aligned with MAGA. Complicit queen,' quipped one user. 'These are not random dudes,' another tweeted. 'They are known and have a platform. She went incognito for months so she chooses when she wants to be photographed. Taylor is okay with being associated with these guys.' 'This is absolutely her worst era like this is horrible,' another commented. Swifties were quick to defend the singer, arguing that she's bound to encounter people who have different political views when out and about. In this instance, Swift was in Nashville, Tennessee, attending an event at Tight End University – a facility Kelce founded in 2021 to help develop the next generation of tight ends. 'She endorsed Kamala and got s**t from MAGA so really … it's just a question of being out in the world and interacting with people who also exist,' wrote a fan.

Taylor Swift's own fans turn against her after behind-the-scenes photo with Travis Kelce

Haters gonna hate... and as it turns out, Taylor Swift 's fans are gonna hate too. Fans of the popstar have been left fuming after the 35-year-old and her NFL boyfriend Travis Kelce were snapped with MAGA podcasters Taylor Lewan and Will Compton at a recent event. Swift was performing at Kelce's yearly Tight End University event in Nashville on Tuesday night. It was the first time Swift had sung publicly since the end of her sold-out worldwide Eras Tour, and she performed an acoustic rendition of her hit song Shake It Off. Whilst some fans were thrilled to see her performing again - and to be out supporting her boyfriend - many were shocked by the friendly behind-the-scenes snap of Swift and Kelce alongside Bussin' With The Boys podcasters Lewan and Compton. In the snap, shared to Instagram, Swift, Kelce, Compton, and Lewan all stood next to each other flexing their muscles with a steely gaze towards the camera. The picture has made the rounds on social media, with fans calling out the star - who has previously endorsed Democratic nominees during presidential campaigns - for her chummy snap with the podcasters, who have shown their support for Donald Trump in the past. During his campaign last year, the pair shared a video of Trump shaking both of their hands, excitedly sharing the clip on social media, writing: 'Firm handshakes for The Boys and 47,' along with an emoji of the American flag. 'Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift flexing with Barstool MAGA podcaster influencer bros Taylor Lewan and Will Compton,' a post shared to Reddit, alongside the picture, read. And it sparked fury with her fans. 'Taylor Swift is so aware about when she is seen and who she is seen with. She curates her persona so carefully and while she may not be MAGA she is okay with being aligned with MAGA. Complicit queen,' snarked one user. Another declared: 'These are not random dudes. They are known and have a platform. 'She went incognito for months so she chooses when she wants to be photographed. Taylor is okay with being associated with these guys.' 'Her fans doing mental gymnastics to defend this and calling her their favorite billionaire is very vomit inducing,' wrote another. But others defended the singer, pointing out she has made some political statements in the past. 'She endorsed Kamala and got s**t from MAGA so really… it's just a question of being out in the world and interacting with people who also exist,' wrote a fan. The picture has made the rounds on social media, with fans calling out the star for her chummy snap with the podcasters, who have shown their support for President Donald Trump in the past In September, Swift famously endorsed democratic nominee Kamala Harris, just moments after the 2024 presidential debate. The megastar made the bombshell announcement on Instagram after the ABC showdown where Trump accused migrants of eating pets and said Democrats wanted to 'execute babies' in the ninth month of pregnancy. Swift's Tuesday performance was alongside Kane Brown at 'Tight End and Friends' - a show hosted by Kelce as part of his NFL event in Music City. Kelce and Swift had earlier been pictured arriving at the Brooklyn Bowl in Nashville, where it seemed like Swift was purely just supporting Kelce for a cause close to his heart. Singers such as Sophia Scott, Graham Barham and Chase Rice were all listed to perform at the venue, where Swift was first spotted enjoying the night in the VIP section. Jordan Davis also played and welcomed country star Luke Combs onto the stage but Swift's involvement had been kept a secret - if it was even scheduled at all. Swift told the crowd 'we planned that three minutes ago' shortly before she left the stage to huge cheers. Just when it seemed like Brown was finishing his set, Swift ignited a frenzy when she walked out for one more song and played an acoustic guitar belonging to Rice. She dedicated it 'to our favorite players' before launching into a rendition of one of her biggest hits and sending the crowd wild.
