During his speech, Trump praised the Eagles for their journey to becoming champions.
He noted the team’s impressive performance in the Super Bowl against the Kansas City Chiefs, who feature Travis Kelce, Swift’s boyfriend.
Trump described the game as “a little surprising” but ultimately “an incredible game.”
In a lighthearted moment, Trump referenced his attendance at the Super Bowl, stating, “I was there along with Taylor Swift.”
He then playfully asked the audience, “How did that work out?” This remark drew laughter from those present, as he repeated his question to emphasize the jab at Swift.
Background on Trump’s comments
This is not the first time Trump has criticized Swift.
In September 2024, after she endorsed his presidential rival Kamala Harris, he expressed his disdain on social media, writing, “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!”
He later appeared on Fox & Friends, where he expanded on his negative view of the singer, calling her a “very liberal person” and suggesting that her political choices could impact her popularity.
Missing players at the White House
While the event was festive, several key players from the Eagles were notably absent, including star quarterback Jalen Hurts.
Trump acknowledged Hurts’ contributions to the team, referring to him as a “terrific player” despite his absence.
Hurts was not the only player missing; other notable names like DeVonta Smith and AJ Brown also did not attend.
Reports indicated that the reason for their absence was “scheduling conflicts,” according to a White House official.
NBC News reporter Yamiche Alcindor confirmed this information in a post on social media, noting that Hurts would miss the visit along with other teammates.
In his speech, Trump also discussed the Eagles’ controversial “tush push” play, which has drawn attention and debate in the NFL.
He complimented star running back Saquon Barkley and invited other players, such as Lane Johnson, to speak at the podium.
This moment allowed Trump to showcase his support for the team and engage with the players present.

Another user said: Always has to find a way to put someone down who he feels threatened by. He’s such a child.
