President Donald Trump‘s controversial name change of the renowned Kennedy Center has really ruffled some feathers … a Christmas Eve jazz concert was cancelled in protest at the performing arts center.

Chuck Redd, the host of the Christmas Eve concert, told the Associated Press that he pulled the plug on the event because he was pissed Trump switched the venue’s name from the John F. Kennedy Center to the Trump-Kennedy Center.

Redd said, “When I saw the name change on the Kennedy Center website and then hours later on the building, I chose to cancel our concert.”

Since 2006, Redd has hosted “Jazz Jams” during the holiday seasons at the center. He plays drums and the vibraphone and, through the years, has toured with the likes of Dizzy Gillespie and Ray Brown.

After the 1963 assassination of President Kennedy, congress honored his memory by passing a law naming the center after him.

Turns out Taylor Swift and Andy Reid are two peas in a pod — Big Red’s wife says the pop icon actually reminds her of her husband!!!

Everyone knows Taylor as the biggest musician on the planet … but the Reids have been tight with Swift for decades — way before she became a huge Chiefs fan thanks to her now-fiancé Travis Kelce.

Tammy — who was giving back to kids at a Raising Cane’s event — said Swift is a genuinely great human being, despite her stardom … a quality that reminds her a lot of her hubby.

Andy — a three-time Super Bowl-winning coach — has always praised Swift for being a great person, saying after the engagement news that he’s happy they both found love.

“It’s hard to find somebody that you fall in love with,” Reid said on Kansas City sports radio 810 in August. “That’s not an easy thing to really fall in love with, and it seems like they’re there.”

“They’re both busy people in their own right, and both are very famous in their own right, so it’s kinda neat that they come together and handle themselves the way they do.”
