- The Republican candidate, 77, said it was his laws that allowed pop star Taylor to achieve stratospheric fame and success, not “crooked” Joe Biden.
- It wasn’t all doom and gloom from Trump for Swift and her Kansas City Chiefs boyfriend, Kelce, when Trump announced, “I like her boyfriend, Travis.”
Donald Trump has taken aim at Taylor Swift, saying she is being “disloyal” to the man who made him so much money, while calling Travis Kelce a “liberal.”
The Republican candidate, 77, said it was his laws that allowed pop star Taylor to achieve stratospheric fame and success, not “crooked” Joe Biden.
Trump said there is “no way” he can endorse Democrat Biden before the election. Swift, although she stayed away from mainstream politics, promised to oust Trump from the White House during the last election and announced that he votes Democratic.

Trump wrote in Truth Social on Super Bowl day: “I signed and was responsible for the Music Modernization Act for Taylor Swift and all other music artists.” Joe Biden didn’t do anything for Taylor and he never will.
‘There is no way she can support corrupt Joe Biden, the worst and most corrupt president in the history of our country, and be disloyal to the man who made her so much money.
“Besides that, I like her boyfriend, Travis, although he may be liberal and probably can’t stand me.”
This comes after Trump told aides that it doesn’t matter if Taylor Swift endorses Joe Biden, because he’s “more popular” than her anyway.
The 77-year-old was commenting on reports that the pop megastar was preparing to endorse Biden and that the Biden campaign was desperate for her to appear on stage with the president at a rally. Swift endorsed Biden in 2020.
He is said to believe that not even the pop megastar will be able to deprive him of a victory in November, even though Democrats hope Swift can dramatically influence the vote.
The New York Times reported that Swift is a key name on Biden advisers’ “wish lists of potential replacements.”
Trump also, according to Rolling Stone, said it was wrong for Swift to be named Time magazine’s person of the year in December 2023, because the award should have “obviously” gone to him.
All sides seek Swift’s political influence, but for years she remained openly neutral.
Born in Pennsylvania but moving to Nashville when she was young to pursue music, she was initially loathe to say anything that would alienate her fan base from traditionally Republican country music.
But in 2018, he spoke out against Republican Sen. Marsha Blackburn, saying her voting record “horrifies and terrifies me.”
Trump, who in 2012 called her “fantastic” and “terrific,” was angered by Swift’s comments.
“You know, Marsha Blackburn is doing a very good job in Tennessee, she’s leading substantially now,” Trump said. ‘She is a tremendous woman.
‘I’m sure Taylor Swift doesn’t know anything about her. And let’s say I like Taylor’s music about 25 percent less now.’
Swift then endorsed Biden, and last year, a single Instagram post of hers generated 35,000 new voter registrations.
A poll this month from Redfield & Wilton Strategies showed that 18 percent of voters said they are “more likely” or “significantly likely” to vote for a Swift-backed candidate.
