President Donald Trump is indicating there’s bad blood between him and Taylor Swift once again, reigniting his feud with the music star and claiming credit for what he describes as a drop in her popularity.
“Has anyone noticed that, since I said ‘I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,’ she’s no longer ‘HOT?'” Trump wrote Friday on Truth Social.
Some of the president’s apparent beef with the “Shake it Off” singer dates back to last year’s White House race. Trump first wrote on social media last September that he “hated” Swift after the 35-year-old performer backed Vice President Kamala Harris in the presidential election in a message to her more than 280 million Instagram followers.
Trump’s message came on the heels of the end of Swift’s wildly popular Eras Tour, which saw concerts sold out worldwide.
Swift has been critical of Trump in the past, saying in a 2019 interview that he was “gaslighting the American public.”
“We’re a democracy — at least, we’re supposed to be — where you’re allowed to disagree, dissent, debate. I really think that he thinks this is an autocracy,” Swift said at the time.
