President Donald Trump has reignited his public feud with Taylor Swift by mocking her popularity on social media, claiming she is no longer ‘hot’ following his recent comments. The remark, made on Truth Social, follows Swift’s endorsement of former Vice President Kamala Harris for the 2024 presidential race. The situation escalates as Trump wraps up a major Middle East tour, adding to the ongoing tension between the singer and the former president. Swift and the White House have not responded to recent inquiries from Fox News Digital. This feud has continued since last September, with Trump’s initial backlash against Swift following her endorsement of Harris.
Trump recently poked fun at Swift during the Philadelphia Eagles’ Super Bowl visit to the White House in April. ‘I watched in person. I was there along with Taylor Swift. How did that work out?’ Trump said at the celebration. ‘How did that one work out?’ The incident occurred as Swift was booed by the crowd after appearing on the jumbotron during the Super Bowl. Trump, who made history as the first sitting U.S. president to attend a Super Bowl, received loud cheers from the crowd when he was shown on screen during the national anthem. This incident further fueled the ongoing tension between Trump and Swift.
Swift also had to watch her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, suffer a crushing 40-22 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Trump took the opportunity to take a dig at the singer afterward. ‘The only one that had a tougher night than the Kansas City Chiefs was Taylor Swift. She got BOOED out of the Stadium. MAGA is very unforgiving!’ Trump wrote on Truth Social after the game. This sequence of events highlights the personal and political nature of the feud, as Trump continues to use his platform to criticize Swift for her political affiliations and public appearances.
The feud has been characterized by mutual public attacks, with Trump’s initial post on September 15, in which he declared ‘I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!’ This has led to a series of retaliatory comments and public displays, including Swift’s appearance at the Super Bowl and the subsequent backlash. The recent comments by Trump not only reflect his ongoing personal vendetta but also underscore the broader political implications of his actions. As Trump concludes his Middle East tour, the media and public continue to follow the evolving dynamics of this high-profile rivalry.
