In a bold and sassy response to Donald Trump’s unexpected “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!” rant, the Kamala Harris–Tim Walz campaign fired back Sunday morning with a statement packed full of clever references to Taylor Swift’s song lyrics.
The statement, aptly titled “Trump’s Bad Week (Taylor’s Version),” took aim at the former president’s recent struggles, weaving in 28 of Swift’s hits to slam Trump’s outburst and highlight his lack of focus on the issues facing the country.
“We’re pretty sure it’s Safe (& Sound) to say Donald Trump’s week has him Down Bad,” the Harris-Walz campaign started, in reference to Trump’s unprovoked attack on the pop superstar posted to Truth Social.
The fiery statement then continued with Swift-inspired digs, saying, “Mr. Not-at-all Fine has spent this week working through his feelings, whining about his Champagne Problems, and spending exactly none of his time addressing the issues facing the American people.”
The statement gives no respite to Trump
With biting humor, the campaign questioned Trump’s emotional stability, quipping, “His rambling, yelling, and constant conspiracy theories have many asking if The Man is ‘too emotional’ to be president. Call it What You Want, but it’s Nothing New for the Smallest Man Who Ever Lived.”
The statement didn’t stop there, accusing Trump of being unable to “Shake it Off” after his less-than-stellar performance in the recent September 10 debate against Harris.
The release, also took a swipe at Trump’s “Bad Blood” with his own party, suggesting that even his inner circle of “extremists” are struggling to keep their campaign on track.
Not content with just throwing shade, the Harris team made it clear they were gearing up for a fight, stating, “We can make sure The Story of Us is one of progress – and show Donald Trump we are not going Back to December of 2020. Like ever.”
The attack of the “Childless Cat Ladies”
This sharp rebuke from the Democratic campaign followed Swift’s recent endorsement of the Harris-Walz ticket after last week’s debate, which immediately saw a surge in voter registrations.
The star, who playfully embraced the title of “Childless Cat Lady” after being targeted by Trump’s running mate J.D. Vance, helped inspire a new wave of Swift-powered political ads for the Harris-Walz campaign.
Billboard ads in Times Square and Las Vegas invited voters to join the movement, declaring, “In Our Kamala Era” – a direct nod to Swift’s global “Eras Tour”.
With Trump seemingly unable to let go of his latest feud, the Harris-Walz team made their Swift-fueled intentions clear: they’re not going back, and they’re ready to turn the page on the Trump era.
