Ruby Rose Stood Up for Taylor Swift Amid MAGA Accusations. Now, Everyone’s Wondering Why KC's Travis Kelce Won’t

Ruby Rose stepped into the conversation and she didn’t hold back. After online chatter accused Taylor Swift of pushing MAGA-friendly themes following the release of The Life of a Showgirl, Rose fired back on Threads with sharp words and no patience for the claims.

She called the accusations “propaganda,” saying it was absurd to link Swift to hate groups or “trad wife” narratives. In her view, people twisting the album’s aesthetic into political messaging were chasing clicks, not facts.

Since The Life of a Showgirl dropped in early October, Swift has faced heavy backlash, from fans dissecting her lyrics to critics accusing her of using AI visuals. The uproar quickly fueled conspiracy theories, and Ruby Rose made it clear she wasn’t letting them spiral.

Ruby Rose Didn’t Hold Back While Defending Taylor Swift

Ruby Rose didn’t hold back when she stepped up to defend Taylor Swift. In a pair of viral posts on Threads, Rose called out the online backlash for what it was; baseless, politically charged noise.

“As someone who has spent many nights discussing the world, social injustice, and life, with The Show Girl herself, I refuse to say her name in the same sentence as the hate group Wackadoodles are conspiring to attach her to,” she wrote.

“Given her public position against Trump, and his against her… if you are falling for the propaganda ‘trad wife’ X, Y, Z claims, you are most definitely walking into the biggest man-made rage bait black hole. Stop it. It’s not true, and it’s incredibly stupid.”

Her comments were a direct response to growing online narratives suggesting Swift’s new album carried “MAGA-coded” themes. Rose dismissed the idea completely, calling it embarrassing and harmful to see people amplify misinformation about someone she’s personally had deep conversations about social justice with.

To drive the point home, Rose even added a touch of humor. When one fan brought up Swift’s reputation for quiet generosity, she replied, “LOL. She used to scroll GoFundMe like a social media app. Clicking ‘reach their donation’ like the ‘like’ button.” It was a quick reminder that Swift’s actions have always spoken louder than rumors.

Travis Kelce’s Silence Is Creating a Whole New Conversation Among Fans

While Ruby Rose’s defense spread quickly, Travis Kelce’s silence has become the next big flashpoint, and fans have plenty to say about it. The Kansas City Chiefs star hasn’t publicly addressed the online firestorm, and that quiet has left Swifties divided.

One user wrote,

“Between Taylor’s friendship w/Shittany her future MAGA in-law & Travis helping to promote fascism for his MAGA employers, I’m so disheartened at who Tay willingly spends her time with now. I miss who Tay tried to be during Lover when you could tell she cared.”

Another added bluntly, “Taylor Swift’s husband is a Trump supporter tho.” The comment summed up a shared frustration, though inaccurate, since Swift and Kelce are engaged, that her relationship might not fit her past political image.

Some fans came to Swift’s defense, pointing out her past political stances. “I don’t even like Taylor Swift’s music, but I remember when she supported Obama, Biden, and Harris.”

Others echoed Ruby Rose’s sentiment, praising Swift’s history of quiet generosity, quoting her viral line: “She used to scroll GoFundMe like a social media app… Clicking ‘reach their donation’ like the ‘like’ button. That’s what a real philanthropist looks like!”

Ruby Rose’s defense showed how fast online drama can snowball and how one bold post can shift the whole conversation. As for Travis Kelce, his silence keeps fans guessing. Maybe it’s strategy, maybe it’s timing, but right now, his quiet is saying plenty.
