Donald Trump has again taken a swipe at pop superstar Taylor Swift, reigniting a feud that has simmered since the 2024 US presidential election.
The US president posted on his Truth Social account, claiming that Swift is “no longer hot” since he declared, “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT” last year.
DONALD TRUMP VS. TAYLOR SWIFT
This latest barb comes nearly eight months after Swift publicly endorsed Democrat Kamala Harris in the 2024 election. This was a move that irked Trump.
He first expressed his disdain in September 2024, shortly after Swift condemned AI-generated images falsely linking her to his campaign, according to People.
Donald Trump’s all-caps outburst on social media was a rare moment of personal attack from the 78-year-old politician.
“I was not a Taylor Swift fan… She’s a very liberal person. She seems to always endorse a Democrat. And she’ll probably pay a price for it in the marketplace”.
DONALD TRUMP TAKES JABS AT KELCE
Trump’s renewed jab coincided with his recent Middle East tour, showing that his grudge remains alive despite other pressing matters.
He even mocked Swift earlier in April during the Philadelphia Eagles’ White House visit, referencing her support for boyfriend Travis Kelce.
“How did that work out?” Trump asked the crowd, drawing laughter as he took a sly dig at Swift’s sporting loyalties.
TAYLOR SWIFT’S POPULARITY
Taylor Swift, 35, has not responded directly to Trump’s latest remarks. She has kept a low profile since wrapping up her record-breaking Eras Tour.
The tour grossed over $2 billion globally, making her the top-selling artist of 2024.
Despite Donald Trump’s claim, Swift’s popularity remains robust, with millions of fans worldwide continuing to celebrate her music and activism.
POLITICAL SPATS
As Donald Trump tweeted, “Has anyone noticed that, since I said ‘I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,’ she’s no longer ‘HOT?’”
The answer, judging by Swift’s continued success and fan devotion, seems clear: Taylor Swift remains as hot as ever, no matter what Trump says.
In Trump’s own words, “She’ll probably pay a price for it in the marketplace.” Yet, the marketplace tells a different story – one of a global superstar who continues to thrive despite political spats.
