Charlie Kirk Urges Taylor Swift to “Submit to Your Husband” After Engagement Announcement

In a much-debated reaction to Taylor Swift’s engagement to Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, conservative commentator Charlie Kirk publicly urged the pop superstar to “reject feminism” and “submit to your husband,” claiming marriage and motherhood would “de-radicalize” her political views.

Charlie Kirk made the remarks during his Tuesday podcast, expressing hope that Swift’s union would make her “more conservative” and encouraging her to “engage in reality more… Reject feminism. Submit to your husband, Taylor. You’re not in charge,” he stated. Kirk argued that Swift’s unmarried status and career focus fueled what he described as her “annoyingly liberal” activism, and predicted that having children would further shift her ideological stance.

Kirk also quipped that Swift should change her name to “Taylor Kelce” to prove the sincerity of her marriage, and joked that Kelce’s NFL contract, backed by corporate sponsorships like Pfizer, was evidence of the couple’s financial stability. He insisted that “she should have more children than she has houses,” framing family life as a corrective measure to her previous endorsements of progressive causes.

The comments sparked immediate backlash on social media, with many Swift fans labeling Kirk’s take “misogynistic” and “outdated.” Critics argued that his remarks overshadowed what should have been a personal celebration for Swift and Kelce. One user mocked, “Why is a grown man spending his day thinking about this?” while another condemned Kirk as “an ignorant, bigoted dogmatist. Powerful women scare weak men like him.”

Kirk’s stance diverged from other conservative voices. On ‘Varney & Co.’ Wednesday, Kirk reiterated that Swift’s embrace of marriage and children signaled “America’s Christian revival,” praising her personal milestone as “awesome” but stopping short of his podcast’s harsher admonitions.
