Fury as Jason and Travis Kelce host Trump fan Wayne Gretzky on New Heights after president’s attack on Taylor Swift BUT that’s not all, Travis Kelce mistakenly said that Taylor Swift is…”
Wayne Gretzky has been unveiled as the latest special guest on Travis and Jason Kelce’s New Heights podcast – a move which has divided opinion amid the hockey legend’s support for Donald Trump.
Gretzky has come under fire both in his homeland of Canada and its contentious neighbor of the United States in recent months over his much-publicized friendship with the American president.
Despite threatening to make Canada the 51st US state, and his government placing tariffs on imports from the country, Trump still has the backing of the four-time Stanley Cup winner, whom he has tipped to run for ‘governor’ one day.
And amid the controversy surrounding his political affiliations, Gretzky joined the Kelce brothers on the latest episode of New Heights.
The pair were thrilled to have him on the show, with an impassioned Jason reeling off some of his greatest achievements before introducing him as ‘the great one’.
However, a number of fans hit out at the former Philadelphia Eagles star and his younger brother for hosting a Trump supporter – especially following the latter’s recent attack on Travis’ girlfriend Taylor Swift.
One user commented on a teaser clip of the Gretzky episode: ‘MAGA- really??? Do better!’
‘This would have been a lot more interesting before he went public as a MAGA loser,’ said another.
‘So Trump went after Taylor and your answer is to invite a big trumpie guy who is friend with him ?!? Have some shame,’ fumed a third.
A fourth put: ‘Love you Kelce brothers but do better. Having maga gretzky on sucks! Wonder what Taylor thinks…..’
While one simply commented: ‘No thanks.’
Not everyone was disappointed to see Gretzky appear on New Heights, nevertheless, with others claiming that politics should be put to one side.
‘It is a sports podcast. Not a politicalcast,’ one fan argued. ‘The minute it becomes political, I’m out. There are a billion more things in life to be interested in and learn about, besides politics.’
Another said in confusion: ‘I need someone to explain like I am a child why is everybody complaining because a SPORT podcast have the [goat] of hockey’.
While another gushed: ‘The Legend! That will be a good episode!’
Trump recently sparked outrage after unleashing a random attack on Swift earlier this month.
The president hit out at Kelce’s pop star girlfriend in a bizarre Truth Social post while traveling back to the US from Saudi Arabia, claiming he is the reason she is ‘no longer hot.’
‘Has anyone noticed that, since I said “I hate Taylor Swift,” she’s no longer “HOT?”‘ he wrote on the social media platform.
Trump has taken plenty of shots at Swift over the years, particularly after her endorsement of Joe Biden in the 2020 election.
Yet Kelce was said to be absolutely furious after his latest dig at his girlfriend, which marked an unprompted escalation in his attacks.
The Great One deserves a truly great introduction 🔥

A source told DailyMail.com that the Kansas City Chiefs legend wants to use it as motivation at this summer’s NFL training camp rather than respond publicly and ‘open another can of worms.’
‘Travis is livid that the President of the United States is talking negatively about Taylor,’ our insider said. ‘He is so mad that he is going to use it as motivation during training for the season ahead, especially if Trump continues talking.
‘Since Travis can’t say anything publicly because that would just open another can of worms, he has to figure out ways to get it out of his system because he would love to protect Taylor and stick up for her.
‘But keeping quiet is the move he has to do right now.’
BREAKING NEWS: Donald Trump has just dropped another major bombshell, now sending shockwaves through Washington and across the nation, after publicly defending the ICE officer involved in the fatal shooting of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis.
BREAKING: Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara has directly contradicted President Donald Trump, stating that Renee Nicole Good was the only person injured during today’s incident. This comes after Trump publicly claimed that an ICE officer was injured and recovering in the hospital—a claim police say is not supported by the facts. The contradiction has reignited accusations that Trump is once again attempting to control the narrative before the full truth emerges. Critics argue this pattern is familiar: push a version of events early, repeat it loudly, and let misinformation spread before evidence can catch up. O’Hara went further, revealing disturbing details that many say echo the same playbook used around January 6—a moment that exposed how dangerous false narratives can be. According to observers, Trump and his allies are now scrambling as more information surfaces. Across Washington and political circles, calls are growing louder, with many insisting that these revelations could carry serious consequences—potentially reopening debates about impeachment and criminal accountability.
BREAKING: In a rare show of bipartisan defiance, nine House Republicans crossed party lines to advance a Democrat-led bill that would extend Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare) subsidies for the next three years. The procedural vote marks a significant early win for House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries and his caucus, signaling cracks in Republican unity on health care just as the stakes intensify. Debate on the bill is happening right now, with a final vote expected shortly. If these nine Republicans continue siding with Democrats, millions of Americans could see their ACA health insurance subsidies preserved through 2028. All eyes are now on whether this fragile bipartisan alliance will hold.
JUST IN: Taylor Swift breaks down in tears while addressing the tragic Minneapolis shooting that left 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good dead during an ICE enforcement operation. She revealed that a doctor rushed in to provide emergency aid, only for ICE agents to pull their guns on him—threatening to shoot if he didn’t back away. Let that sink in. A woman was killed, and a doctor who tried to save her life was allegedly threatened at gunpoint. Swift didn’t hold back. She went on to sharply criticize Donald Trump over his remarks on the incident—and then revealed what many say they’ve been waiting to hear.
BREAKING: Tim Walz didn’t hold back after an ICE officer fatally shot a woman in Minneapolis. The Minnesota governor delivered a blistering response, sharply condemning Donald Trump and Kristi Noem. “We do not need any further help from the federal government,” Walz said. “To Donald Trump and Kristi Noem—you’ve done enough.” Walz revealed he has issued a warning order to prepare the Minnesota National Guard, making it clear that control remains with the state. “These National Guard troops are our National Guard troops,” he emphasized. “Minnesota will not allow our community to be used as a prop in a national political fight.” But he didn’t stop there. Walz went further, issuing a five-word warning directed squarely at Trump—words now sending shockwaves across political circles. The warning has reportedly triggered a tense reaction from Trump himself, igniting fresh chaos and raising questions about what comes next.
