The Pennsylvania-born musician regularly hosted a Fourth of July event at her New England home until Donald Trump became president, before hosting it again last year.
She shared with The Guardian in August 2019, that after the 2016 elections, he did not host his “Taymerica” evenings because of his “disappointment” with the United States.
That same month, in an informal chat with FashionHe explained, ‘You know, the summer before that election (2016), everyone was saying, “She’s calculating. She’s manipulative. She’s not what she seems. She’s a snake. She’s a liar.”
‘Those are exactly the same insults people were throwing at Hillary Clinton (the then presidential candidate). Would I be a support or a burden?
“Look, serpents of the same feather come together. Look, the two lying women. The two nasty women.”
Literally millions of people were telling me to disappear. So I disappeared. In many ways.

Swift belted out a show in a bedazzled, sparkly blazer and matching knee-high boots.
The musician was accompanied by dancers dressed in suits during a segment of his electrifying show Eras.
At one point, the veteran artist stood up and showed off a pair of her 250 Christian Louboutin-created shoes.
Taylor is in the midst of her record-breaking Eras World Tour.
In May, designer Christian Louboutin shared that he made more than 250 pairs of the shoes, which typically sell for around $1,000, for the production.
Chatting with FashionThe 61-year-old shoe architect commented: “When working for artists, it is best to start with a large number of styles that will end up in a selection of designs that look best for the stage.”
It was also shared that she dreamed up 60 pairs of new shoes for the pop star to wear on the European leg of her blockbuster tour.
Hundreds of rhinestone crystals were used in the collection and Louboutin noted: “I learned a few magic tricks to make sure the silhouette still looks great with shoes that are 100% easy to wear.”
He added: “I learned at Les Folies Bergère that the lights on stage are very strong and tend to flatten any surface.”

Last year, Swift shared outtakes from her Fourth of July gathering on Instagram, which featured Selena Gomez.
Taylor captioned her July 7, 2023 Instagram post: ‘Happy Belated Independence Day from the independent girls in your local neighborhood.’
Swift performed a new section of her concert in early May, after releasing her album The Tortured Poets Department in April.
While performing in Paris, she revealed that she had been working on The Tortured Poets Department portion of her tour since last year.
‘We started planning this surprise for you about eight or nine months ago and then when we had a “two month break” from the Eras Tour, we didn’t really take any time off at all.
“We’re back to rehearsals, so I want to pay tribute to my team, my dancers and my band,” he said during a break in the music.
