Charlie Kirk's controversial relationship advice to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce resurfaced after the conservative activist's death.
On Sept. 10, the Turning Point USA founder died at age 31 after he was shot during a speaking event at Utah Valley University.
Recent comments from Kirk regarding Swift's engagement to Kelce reappeared on social media in the wake of his death. During an Aug. 26 Charlie Kirk Show episode, Kirk predicted that Swift "might go from a cat lady to a JD Vance supporter" after marrying the Kansas City Chiefs tight end.
"She should have more children than she has houses," he declared, "That is my challenge, Taylor Swift, and I'm not being sarcastic. I think that if she ends up having children, she'll stop this kind of liberal, endorsing Joe Biden nonsense."
Additionally, Kirk called Swift "not a good role model for young women" because she waited "all the way until [she was] 35 and just put [her] career first."

Later in the episode, Kirk shared, "This is something that I hope will make Taylor Swift more conservative, engage in reality more and step outside of the abstract clouds."
He then urged the pop superstar, "Reject feminism. Submit to your husband, Taylor. You're not in charge. And most importantly, I can't wait to go to a Taylor Kelce concert. I can't say it without laughing. You gotta change your name. If not, you don't really mean it."
A Reddit thread emerged after Kirk's death discussing his comments on Swift and Kelce.
"I want to know what Swifties think about his commentary on Taylor Swift," the original poster wrote alongside a list of his stances on several topics.
In the comments, Swift fans shared their opinions on Kirk's advice to Swift. One Redditor shared, "No woman should reject feminism and submit to her husband – not Taylor Swift, not me, not you, not your mothers, sisters, or daughters. That’s a deeply regressive and misogynistic talking point."
To that, another Redditor user replied, "Very well said. I would also like to understand why he cared so much about whether she 'submits' to her own partner or not. Even his choice of words are so ominous and strange. 'Submit to your husband' is straight up Handmaid’s Tale vibes."
Someone else chimed in, "I think he cared because of Taylor’s influence. So if the biggest pop star in the world, who mostly has female fans, would 'submit to her husband,' it could inspire young girls to do the same when they grow up. And maybe it would inspire women to reconsider feminism. Something like that is probably how his mind worked."
Comments on the original video also took issue with his stance, with one pointing out, "meanwhile her networth dwarves his," "I know tons of liberals who have kids and they haven’t become conservative" and "why can't folks just say 'They seem happy. I wish them well.' and move on."
On Sept. 11, the FBI released photos of a “person of interest” in Kirk’s death, as well as recovered the rifle allegedly used during the shooting. A video of the alleged suspect fleeing the scene was also released. On Friday, Sept. 12, Trump announced a suspect was in custody.
