US President Donald Trump has taken aim at Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce in a jaw-dropping social media swipe, posted just moments after the superstar couple tied the knot.
He appeared to hijack the spotlight, sharing a cheeky, AI-edited image referencing the couple’s Madison Square Garden wedding.
The post, shared via the White House’s official X account, featured one of the pink billboards used to announce Swift and Kelce’s nuptials, but with a twist. The message had been altered to read: “Trump is your president.”

“IT’S HAPPENED!!!” the post declared, echoing the couple’s own dramatic wedding reveal, when “JUST&T MARRIED!” lit up screens outside the iconic New York venue.

The post landing just minutes after Swift, 36, and Kelce, 36, said “I do” in front of a star-studded guest list inside the arena.
Commenters were quick to criticise the post, making their own signs saying “Impeach and remove,” or accusing Mr Trump of ties to convicted Paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
The jab is the latest in a long-running feud between Mr Trump and the global pop star, dating back to Swift’s foray into politics.
After she publicly backed Democratic candidates in 2018, Mr Trump famously quipped he liked her music “25 percent less,” before escalating his rhetoric in recent years.
At one point, he bluntly posted: “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!” following her endorsement of Kamala Harris.
He has also taken swipes at her relationship with NFL star Kelce, previously suggesting the romance might not last.

Despite occasional softer remarks, including wishing the pair “luck,” Friday’s post signalled the feud is far from over.
The online stunt also coincided with Mr Trump’s trip to Mount Rushmore, where he is set to lead celebrations marking America’s 250th anniversary, a moment his team appeared keen to keep front and centre, even as Swift and Kelce’s wedding dominated headlines.
Meanwhile, the couple’s lavish New York wedding, reportedly officiated by Adam Sandler and attended by hundreds of high-profile guests, has quickly become one of the most talked-about celebrity events of the year.
