Former President Donald Trump was none too happy to hear about pop superstar Taylor Swift’s endorsement of his political opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, mentioning during a conversation with Fox News that her music career will be negatively impacted back by her choice of candidate. Honestly, it’s not surprising she backed Harris. Swift is an outspoken liberal. She voted for Biden back in 2020 and endorsed him then too. And she was likely supporting him in this race, though not officially, until he was booted from the nomination and replaced by Harris thanks to the elites within the Democratic Party.
According to a report published by the Hollywood Reporter, “Swift broke her silence on the 2024 U.S. presidential election almost immediately after Tuesday night’s debate between former President Trump and Harris concluded. The singer-songwriter with unprecedentedly devoted fans wrote to her 283 million followers on Instagram that there was a clear choice in the upcoming election after viewing the performances of the two presidential candidates in Philadelphia. Appearing on Fox & Friends on Wednesday morning, Trump blew off the potentially powerful endorsement from Swift.
“I was not a Taylor Swift fan,” Trump said to the hosts during their conversation. “It was just a question of time. She couldn’t possibly endorse Biden … But she’s a very liberal person. She seems to always endorse a Democrat, and she’ll probably pay a price for it in the marketplace.”
Trump then praised soccer player Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, for liking one of his posts on X (formerly Twitter). Swift’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce, is the Chiefs’ tight end. In her endorsement, Swift also mentioned a recent instance of a deepfake, created with artificial intelligence, of her likeness claiming to the world that she was endorsing Trump, not Harris.
“Recently I was made aware that AI of ‘me’ falsely endorsing Donald Trump’s presidential run was posted to his site. It really conjured up my fears around AI, and the dangers of spreading misinformation. It brought me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter,” she stated in her post on social media. “The simplest way to combat misinformation is with the truth.”
Swift, who avoided political speech for years before wading into the waters of endorsements in 2018 to sizable results, concluded by urging her fans to register to vote. “I’ve done my research, and I’ve made my choice. Your research is all yours to do, and the choice is yours to make. I also want to say, especially to first-time voters: Remember that in order to vote, you have to be registered! I also find it’s much easier to vote early,” she wrote. “I’ll link where to register and find early voting dates and info in my story.
“With love and hope, Taylor Swift, Childless Cat Lady,” the pop sensation signed off her message, referencing Trump’s VP pick J. D. Vance’s past comments about women who don’t have children.
Trump waved off Swift back in 2018 as well after she backed two Democrats who were running for office in Tennessee, going on to say, “Let’s say I like Taylor’s music about 25 percent less now, OK?”
During the interview on Fox, the former president stated that the moderators of his debate with Harris the previous evening on ABC News, David Muir and Linsey Davis, were incredibly biased against him, referring to the event as “three against one.” He then stated that he was “less inclined” to do another debate with Harris. Of course, Harris and her team want to do another one and have asked him for one, confident she stomped a mudhole in him during their first encounter.
In their post-debate statement, obtained by The Hollywood Reporter, Harris-Walz Campaign Chair Jen O’Malley Dillon asked, in part, “Under the bright lights, the American people got to see the choice they will face this fall at the ballot box: between moving forward with Kamala Harris, or going backwards with Trump. That’s what they saw tonight and what they should see at a second debate in October. Vice President Harris is ready for a second debate. Is Donald Trump?”
Swift was more enjoyable as an entertainer when that’s all she did. Entertain. If you pick your president based on the suggestion of your favorite celebrity or entertainer, you are weak-minded, ignorant, and just plain stupid. Do your own research on the issues. Come to your own conclusions. Search your soul for what values and principles really matter to you.
