Overview

• Taylor Swift and NFL star Travis Kelce announced their engagement in a shared Instagram post that drew over 16 million likes within three hours.
• On his Real America’s Voice show, Charlie Kirk told Swift to reject feminism and "submit to your husband," asserting she is "not in charge."
• Kirk suggested Swift should change her name, have "a ton of children," and said marriage could "de‑radicalize" her politically.
• The remarks prompted widespread criticism across social media and coverage that labeled the advice sexist.
• Other conservative reactions were more cordial, with President Donald Trump wishing the couple luck and praising both Swift and Kelce, and reports note Kirk’s history of similar commentary about women’s roles.
