Donald Trump speaks out on Taylor Swift's engagement to Travis Kelce after Super Bowl dig

US President Donald Trump has had his say on the engagement of NFL tight end Travis Kelce and global pop icon Taylor Swift.

Trump has been outspoken about the star couple in the past, not least after this year's Super Bowl.

Kelce was on the field with the Kansas City Chiefs in New Orleans in February when Swift appeared on the big screen to boos at the Superdome and Trump felt he didn't suffer the same fate.

He milked the moment for everything it was worth on social media, as is his way.

"The only one that had a tougher night than the Kansas City Chiefs was Taylor Swift," he posted. "She got BOOED out of the Stadium. MAGA is very unforgiving!"

Why Trump would want to lash out at a powerful young woman is anyone's guess but he took a different tone when the press asked about the couple's engagement.

"Well I wish them a lot of luck," said the Leader of the Free World.

"I think he's a great player. I think he's a great guy and I think that she's a terrific person so I wish them a lot of luck."

Swift and Kelce have become the latest obsession of the world's celebrity watchers since going public with their relationship.

The popstar soon became a fixture at Chiefs games and brought legions of often bemused Swifties into the world of professional sport.

They announced this week that they recently got engaged and they're the talk of the gossip industry once more.

"Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married," Swift told her 281 million followers on Instagram on Tuesday. The post attracted more than 27 million likes in 16 hours.

Congratulations have been pouring in from all over the worlds of sport and entertainment, with athletes, artists and fans everywhere joining in with the joy of the happy couple in advance of what's sure to be a headline-grabbing wedding.

Trump's well wishes were uttered in a cabinet meeting at the White House, where the question about Swift and Kelce's engagement was asked right at the start of what became a marathon meeting.
