Mr. Trump posted on the morning of September 15 (US time) on Truth Social without further explanation: “I hate Taylor Swift !”.
Responding to Trump in a post on X (formerly Twitter), Liz Cheney — a former Republican congresswoman who is endorsing Harris — quoted his comments and wrote: “The smallest man alive said that,” referring to a lyric from Taylor Swift’s latest album: The Tortured Poets Department .
Ana Navarro, a political strategist and commentator who is critical of Mr Trump, posted on X: ” Donald Trump lost what little sense he had left. Taylor Swift broke him.”
Last week, the singer posted on Instagram that she planned to vote for Democratic candidate Kamala Harris for President of the United States following her decisive victory over Trump in the debate on September 10. Taylor Swift’s Instagram story linked to the US government’s voter information website Vote.gov, attracting more than 400,000 visits to the site within 24 hours.
With Taylor Swift’s support, what does Kamala Harris gain?
With Taylor Swift’s support, what does Kamala Harris gain?
“I’m voting for Kamala Harris because she fights for rights and causes that I believe need a warrior to defend. I think she’s a strong, capable leader and I believe we can achieve so much more if we’re led by calm, not chaos,” Taylor Swift wrote in a social media post.
In her post, Swift also criticized Mr. Trump for previously using an AI-generated fake image of her to make it appear that the singer was supporting him.
Mr. Trump has expressed admiration for Swift, at least for her looks. “I think she’s beautiful—very beautiful! I think she’s a liberal and probably doesn’t like me, and I hear she’s very talented,” he told Variety editor Ramin Setoodeh in his book Apprentice in Wonderland: How Donald Trump and Mark Burnett Took America Through the Looking Glass .
After Swift publicly endorsed Harris, Trump said: “I’m not a Taylor Swift fan. She may pay for that.”
During a call into Fox News ‘ Fox & Friends , former President Donald Trump praised Brittany Mahomes, who is married to Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Patrick is friends and teammates with Swift’s boyfriend Travis Kelce. Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes were photographed hugging while watching the US Open tennis tournament in New York earlier this month.
“I actually like Mahomes a lot. If you want to know the truth. She’s a big Trump fan. I like Mahomes more than Taylor Swift. Mahomes is the wife of the quarterback. I think she’s great. I’m not a Taylor Swift fan,” Trump replied when asked about Taylor Swift’s support for Harris.
