Melania Trump made headlines for so many reasons when she attended the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee on Thursday, July 18th.
As well as almost breaking social media when a clip of her seemingly swerving a kiss from Donald Trump surfaced, the former First Lady has also garnered attention for her reaction to Kid Rock’s performance that same night.

Melania Trump Can’t Contain Her Laughter During Kid Rock’s Performance
When 53-year-old musician Kid Rock, who is an avid Donald Trump supporter, took to the stage at the Republican National Convention to perform his explicit track, “American [Expletive,]” the Slovenian-American former model seemingly didn’t know what to make of it. And it was very obvious from her facial expressions, as she struggled to hide the way she was feeling about the performance.
The 54-year-old mom-of-one was pictured pursing her lips together, which many people on social media thought was an obvious sign that she was trying very hard to stop herself from laughing.
NBC News Senior Capitol Hill Correspondent Garrett Haake also noticed Melania’s reaction to the performance, and wrote on X: “I’m standing just below the Trump family box, and nobody is enjoying this Kid Rock performance more than JD Vance. Nobody seems to be enjoying it less than Melania Trump.”
Social Media Comments
"Melania Trump trying not to laugh at Kid Rock is the funniest thing I've ever seen," commented one observer on X, formerly Twitter. "Melania is watching Kid Rock with the same quiet, polite loathing as she would an elementary school talent show," quipped another user, as a third added: "That cut from Kid Rock & zoom into Melania's reaction is perfection." "It is difficult not to laugh at him, I understand her struggle," added a fourth, as a fifth said: "I don't blame her."
"She's embarrassed to be associated with this nonsense," thought another X user. "She knows the cameras on her, trying not to roll her eyes," thought another, perhaps in reference to *that* viral clip of her rolling her eyes at her husband.
"Melania can't believe she's here. Kid Rock? Amber Rose? Hulk Hogan? Dana White? What a collection of losers," wrote another X user, in reference to the other celebs in attendance. "Yeah, could have done without him too along with Hulk Hogan," concurred another.
