Last September, Trump proudly declared “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!” after the pop star said she was casting her ballot for Harris.
Following their first televised faceoff, Swift posted a photo alongside her cat Benjamin Button and told her 281 million followers on Instagram that she was “voting for Kamala Harris.”
“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,” Swift wrote in part in a social media post.
Swift said in her message that she was moved to speak out after Trump decided to post AI-generated pictures encouraging her fans to vote for him. One showed Swift dressed as Uncle Sam, and the text said “Taylor wants YOU to VOTE for DONALD TRUMP.”

Donald Trump posted fake Taylor Swift endorsements to his Truth Social account last month. Photo by Truth SocialTrump’s posts “brought me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter,” Swift wrote. The singer, who signed off by calling herself a “Childless Cat Lady,” added that “I’ve done my research, and I’ve made my choice.”

Trump responded to her post during an appearance on Fox & Friends, saying he “was not a Taylor Swift fan” and predicted “she’ll probably pay a price for it … in the marketplace.”
After Swift was booed at this year’s Super Bowl, Trump bragged that he was responsible for her getting a frosty reception in New Orleans.
“What’s going on?” she mouthed to rapper Ice Spice, who was seated next to her, greeting the jeers with a disbelieving side-eyed glance.

With the Philadelphia Eagles ahead the entire game, Trump — who praised Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes, calling him a “great, great quarterback” and a player who “really knows how to win” — left the Super Bowl in the third quarter. But that didn’t stop him from poking fun at Swift for getting booed.
“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 his Truth Social platform.
Trump also shared side-by-side videos of how the crowd received both him and Swift, implying he had been greeted with a hero-like welcome.
Last month, when Trump welcomed the Super Bowl-winning Eagles to the White House, he made another dig at Swift.

But Trump wasn’t always a hater of Swift — at least when it came to 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 his book Apprentice in Wonderland: How Donald Trump and Mark Burnett Took America Through the Looking Glass. “I think she’s very beautiful, actually — unusually beautiful!”
Back in 2012, Trump thanked Swift for taking a photo with him and called her “terrific.”

But after she was vocal about disapproving of his first presidency, Trump started to express his dislike of her. “Let’s just say I like Taylor’s music about 25% less now, okay?” he told reporters in 2018.
When she started dating Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce in 2023, he predicted the relationship would end with a breakup.
“I hope they enjoy their life, maybe together, maybe not — most likely not,” he said.
