Kai Trump recently shared a surprising choice for her “song of the year.” In a video on her YouTube channel and TikTok, the 19-year-old granddaughter of President Donald Trump discussed her pick. When asked to select a song that defined her past year, Kai initially struggled to think of one. Eventually, she chose ‘Rolling in the Deep’ by Adele. She explained with a laugh, “I don’t know, that was like the only song that came up, like came to my head.”
Adele’s ‘Rolling in the Deep’
Released in 2010, ‘Rolling in the Deep’ was the lead single from Adele’s second album, “21.” It became a breakthrough hit, reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, where it stayed for seven weeks. The song topped charts in over a dozen countries and won three Grammy Awards in 2012: record of the year, song of the year, and best short-form music video. ‘Rolling in the Deep’ played a crucial role in Adele’s rise to global fame and remains one of her iconic tracks alongside ‘Someone Like You’ and ‘Hello’.
Kai’s Musical Preferences
Kai had previously mentioned ‘Rolling in the Deep’ as a favorite. In March, she took part in an “Ask Me Anything” Q&A on her YouTube channel. Besides Adele’s hits, Kai’s other top picks included ‘November Rain’ by Guns N’ Roses and several songs by The Weeknd such as ‘House of Balloons’ and ‘Wicked Games’. “I love The Weeknd,” she noted.
Celebrity Crush
In a recent Fox News Digital interview, Kai revealed a change in her celebrity crush. She had previously mentioned “Outer Banks” star Drew Starkey, but her affections have shifted. Now, she names actor Theo James as her top choice. “He’s very attractive,” Kai, who admires James’ looks, commented.
Two years ago, Kai first made her crush on Starkey known during a YouTube Q&A session. After checking her phone for the name, she expressed enthusiasm about Starkey but admits her preference has “changed a little.”
Life and Golf
Related to the Trump family, Kai balances her public persona with everyday life. She acknowledged that having her grandfather in office complicates dating. “It’s not easy, to be honest with you, but you know, you gotta live life,” she remarked, adding she aims to maintain a normal life despite her family’s political status.
Kai, who frequently plays golf with her grandfather, looks forward to starting her freshman year at the University of Miami. She will compete on the Hurricanes women’s golf team in the 2026-27 season.
