Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce spark Swiftie fury after posing with 'MAGA' stars: 'Where is her self-respect?'
Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift have 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 alongside the power couple.
'Confirmed: Taylor Swift is FOR THE BOYS,' they captioned the picture on social media. 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 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, Swift's decision to be pictured with the co-hosts has prompted a furious reaction on social media.
'You are who you surround yourself with,' one Swiftie wrote, while another accused the singer of having 'zero self-respect.'
'When ICE is abducting people from the streets , this is who she chooses to align herself with,' they said. 'Show me who your friends are and I'll tell you who you are,' added another.
Swift publicly endorsed Harris ahead of last year's election, while Trump has made clear his dislike for the singer.
'I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!' he wrote on social media last year before attacking her again in recent weeks. 'Has anyone noticed that, since I said "I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT," she's no longer "HOT?"' the president wrote.
Those comments have not been forgotten by her fans in the light of her picture with 'Bussin With The Boys'.
'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,' one asked.
'Imagine being rich enough to make the world a slightly better place... then actively choosing to surround yourself with these thugs instead,' another added. 'What a waste.'
Swift and Kelce have been together in Nashville over recent days, with the Chiefs star been hosting his annual 'Tight End University'.
The singer even performed during the event, sending fans wild with a rendition of 'Shake It Off'.
San Francisco 49ers star George Kittle, who hosts the event with Kelce, lifted the lid on her surprise cameo.
'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. It was an incredible experience.'

Trump news at a glance: fate of president's ‘big, beautiful bill' in doubt amid Senate vote
US senators on Saturday were scrambling to open debate on Donald Trump's 'big, beautiful' budget bill, which is key to the president's second-term agenda. The bill cannot advance to the House until a debate is held and a final vote on the legislation passes the Senate. But Republicans have been divided by the controversial bill, with some rejecting the proposal to cut welfare programmes in order to cover tax breaks, and others demanding deeper cuts. After the procedural vote to move to a floor debate on the measure opened on Saturday evening, several Republican had voted against it, putting pressure on the remaining holdouts to toe the party line. Meanwhile, the tech billionaire Elon Musk has again voiced criticism of bill, describing it as 'utterly insane and destructive'. Here are the key stories at a glance: A vote in the US Senate, on whether or not to open debate on Donald Trump's package of tax breaks, spending cuts and bolstered deportation funds, formally titled 'the One Big Beautiful Bill Act', stalled for hours on Saturday, as Republicans inclined to vote against the measure were pressured to support it. Soon after the vote opened at 7.30pm local time in Washington, three Republican senators joined all 47 Democrats to vote against the bill, meaning the remaining 50 Republican senators all needed to vote in favor to give vice-president JD Vance the chance to cast the tie-breaking vote and clear the procedural hurdle.

Kamala's comeback bid sparks Democrat donor meltdown amid fears she'll sink party in California
' potential comeback bid for California 's gubernatorial race is falling flat as the state's liberal donors say they are still 'traumatized' from her loss to Donald Trump. The former Democratic nominee for president has been considering a run for California Governor, with several declared candidates promising to drop out of the race if she enters. Harris would instantly become the frontrunner in the race, but Democratic donors say they are less than enthusiastic about the former vice president's resurgence. Insiders told Politico that donors are still suffering a hangover from Harris' landslide loss to Donald Trump in November, after she burned through hundreds of millions of dollars only to ultimately lose every swing state. 'Kamala just reminds you we are in this complete s*** storm,' one donor told the outlet. 'With Biden, we got bamboozled… I think she did the best she could in that situation, but obviously she knew about the cognitive decline too. 'I've written so many checks because I knew the Trump administration would be horrible, but we're living in a nightmare because of the Democrats. I'm furious at them, truly.' Harris has not publicly said she will enter the race, but sources told The Hill this week that she is 'leaning toward' entering the Democratic primary, saying the chance to get back in the spotlight has given her 'a glimmer in her eyes.' But while Harris is said to be excited by the prospect of re-entering public office, many of the donors who supported her last run for the White House say they are less enthused. 'There was more enthusiasm at first,' Mather Martin, a San Francisco-based fundraiser who has worked for past Harris campaigns, told Politico. 'I think it waned a bit.' One California donor who contributed six-figures to Harris' run against Donald Trump said they fear a comeback campaign would only remind Democrats of how 'traumatizing' her loss to Trump was. Harris reportedly held several meetings in the Bay Area this month to feel out a possible run for governor, and believes she would have an advantage in the field as she remains a big name in a Democratic Party that has not found a new leader following Trump's landslide in November. She was reportedly considering another run for the presidency in 2028, but is leaning toward California Governor. One insider told The Hill: 'She has a lot of people in her ear telling her that it makes the most sense and she can do the most good.' One key sticking point looming over any potential run appears to be the reported cognitive decline of former President Joe Biden, raising questions over whether Harris was privy to his struggles in office. One of Harris' would-be opponents in the race, former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, used this as ammunition in a recent X post last month. 'Voters deserve to know the truth, what did Kamala Harris and Xavier Becerra know, when did they know it, and most importantly, why didn't either of them speak out?' he wrote - also referencing former California Attorney General Xavier Becerra, who was also a member of the Biden administration as secretary of Health and Human Services. 'This cover up directly led to a second Donald Trump term.' As one Democrat donor put it to Politico, fundraisers 'realize it's just going to bring up the whole pathetic last presidential, which no one wants to hear about again. And then it's the whole 'Did you know Joe Biden?' thing.' They concluded: 'She still would probably lead, but honestly, no one is incredibly pumped.'

Paul Simon, 83, cancels concerts due to 'unmanageable' chronic condition
Paul Simon has been a touring musician since the 1960s—and at 83, he's still hitting the road. But this weekend, the Bridge Over Troubled Water singer was forced to cancel two scheduled shows in Philadelphia due to 'chronic and intense back pain.' Simon shared a statement on Instagram just hours before he was set to perform at the city's historic Academy of Music, informing fans and ticket holders of the cancellation. 'Paul has been struggling with chronic and intense back pain,' the statement read. 'Today it became unmanageable and demands immediate attention. Unfortunately, we have to cancel these shows at this time, as we don't have the ability to reschedule them,' the statement continued. 'However, we are hopeful after this minor surgical procedure which has been scheduled in the next few days, Paul will be able to complete the tour as well as look into returning to make up these dates,' the statement explained. The Bridge Over Troubled Water singer has canceled two shows in Philadelphia this weekend as a result of 'chronic and intense back pain.' Seen here November 7, 2016 'In the meantime, please go to your point of purchase or local ticket provider for a full refund.' Simon performed at the venue on Thursday night—the first of what was meant to be a three-show run in Philadelphia as part of his A Quiet Celebration Tour. His next scheduled performance is set for July 7 at the Terrace Theater in the Long Beach Performing Arts Center in Long Beach, California. Simon announced the tour in February, marking his return to the stage after retiring from touring in 2018 due to hearing loss. The tour has been hitting smaller, intimate venues including Austin's Bass Concert Hall, Denver's Paramount Theatre and New York City's Beacon Theater in mini-residencies. After his stop in Long Beach, Simon is scheduled to continue the tour with stops in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Vancouver and Seattle, before wrapping in early August. Born in 1941 in Newark, New Jersey and raised in Queens, New York, Simon never measured up to his father's hopes and dreams that his son become a lawyer rather than a singer-songwriter, a path he, himself, unsuccessfully tried to follow. Adding to his parental disappointment was his stature. Although he was smart, athletic and personable, Simon was 'small like a mouse, small like a pip squeak, small like the punch line to every short-guy joke the other kids could image,' Peter Ames Carlin wrote book Homeward Bound: The Life of Paul Simon. 'Today it became unmanageable and demands immediate attention. Unfortunately, we have to cancel these shows at this time, as we don't have the ability to reschedule them,' the statement continued. Seen here at the White House on April 10, 2024 Teased by classmates, they'd swipe his Yankees cap until he finally went after them with fisticuffs, always getting his hat back. Silencing the self-abuse was harder when he barely grew an inch while his classmates stretched upwards. On a spring afternoon in 1952 when school buses were late and a teacher ushered all the students into the auditorium to hear fourth-grader Art sing, something was awakened inside Simon. When Garfunkel sang Nat King Cole's hit, They Try to Tell Us We're Too Young, Simon knew he, too, wanted to perform – outside of his bedroom behind closed doors, in search of the same applause and cheers. So Simon sought out the company of Garfunkel, and they became pals talking about songs they heard on the radio. Garfunkel tracked the weekly Hit Parade with his mathematical graphs while Simon listened to Latin dance band music. Eventually Simon and Garfunkel broke out of Queens with their music and became American sensations. Paul and Art were inspired by the music of the Everly Brothers and in the early days, called themselves the Urban Everly Brothers. As they became more and more successful they seemed to argue more over artistic discrepancies that began to splinter their bond. In the end, Simon and Garfunkel's increasing troubled relationship, as friends and working colleagues, led to their breakup in 1970. Paul, who composed nearly all of their original songs, enjoyed a successful career following their split. While they never got back together to record a new album, the duo did reunite for the first time to play a free concert in New York's Central Park in September 1981, attracting some 500,000 people, that at the time was the largest concert ever. Warner Bros. Records released a live album of the show, The Concert In Central Park, which went on to go double platinum in the US.
