Trump Claims Taylor Swift Is ‘No Longer Hot’ After He Posted ‘I Hate Taylor Swift!’
Donald Trump took a break from his presidential duties Friday to cast shade on Taylor Swift, opining that the singer 'is no longer hot' after he posted 'I hate Taylor Swift!'
Donald Trump took a break from his presidential duties to cast shade on Taylor Swift, nursing a grudge he holds against the global megastar for her endorsement of Kamala Harris in the 2024 election.
“Has anyone noticed that, since I said ‘I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,’ she’s no longer ‘HOT?’” Trump wrote in a post Friday on his Truth Social platform.
Swift has a current net worth of $1.6 billion, making her the wealthiest female musician in the world, according to Forbes.
In September 2024, Trump had posted “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!” — coming days after Swift shared on Instagram that she intended to vote for Harris for U.S. president following Harris’ Sept. 10 debate victory over Trump. “I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them,” Swift wrote in part in the Instagram post. “I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos.”

In her post, Swift also called out Trump for previously using a fake, AI-generated image of her to make it falsely appear as if Swift were endorsing him. Trump, in an interview with Fox Business, suggested he wasn’t concerned that Swift would sue him over his posting of the fake images, saying they “were all made up by other people.”
Following Swift’s public backing of Harris, Trump claimed in an interview on Fox News “Fox & Friends” that “I was not a Taylor Swift fan” and said “she’ll probably pay a price for it in the marketplace.”
Trump once expressed admiration for Swift, at least for her physical appearance. “I think she’s beautiful — very beautiful! I find her very beautiful. I think she’s liberal. She probably doesn’t like Trump. I hear she’s very talented,” he told Variety co-editor-in-chief Ramin Setoodeh in the book “Apprentice in Wonderland: How Donald Trump and Mark Burnett Took America Through the Looking Glass.”
