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.’
