Kai Trump picks Adele's 2010 hit as her unexpected song of the year
Trump granddaughter Kai announced Adele's "Rolling in the Deep" as her song of the year in a new social-media video.
Kai Trump, the 19-year-old daughter of Donald Trump Jr. and Vanessa Trump, revealed in a video posted to YouTube and TikTok that she selected Adele's "Rolling in the Deep" as the song that best represents her last year. She explained that she was caught off guard by the request and the 2010 hit was the sole track that surfaced in her mind. The track, which topped the Billboard Hot 100 for seven weeks and earned multiple Grammy Awards, has long been among Kai's stated favorites, alongside songs by Guns Nā Roses and The Weeknd.
In a separate interview, Kai disclosed that her current celebrity crush is actor Theo James, replacing earlier admiration for "Outer Banks" star Drew Starkey. She noted that having her grandfather, President Donald Trump, in the public eye makes dating challenging. This fall, Kai will begin her freshman year at the University of Miami and compete on the Hurricanes women's golf team. She recently appeared on Fox & Friends at the network's New York studios.
