For a man who spends most of his time dodging tackles, Kelce’s dive into the political fray was as bold as one of his signature touchdowns. But his sudden interest in politics left many wondering whether this was more about following Swift’s lead or a genuine interest in the policies of the Harris campaign.
If 2024 had a theme, it might just be “celebrities and politics.” First, Swift sent shockwaves through the pop world when she endorsed Harris, calling her “a role model and perfect for our country.” Swift’s endorsement didn’t sit well with a significant portion of her fanbase, particularly those who were less than thrilled about her wading into politics. But while the fallout led to a temporary dip in her social media clout, Swift remained unapologetic, continuing to use her platform for political advocacy.
Now, with Kelce joining the political conversation, Swift and Kelce have become the hottest
celebrity couple to hit the campaign trail. It seems Harris has won the heart not just of America’s sweetheart pop icon but also one of the NFL’s biggest stars. Together, their endorsements have shifted attention away from traditional campaign strategies and focused it squarely on the power of pop culture influence.
