Trump throws shade at Taylor Swift during Eagles' White House celebration
The NFL team, excluding quarterback Jalen Hurts and several other players, visited 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue on Monday to celebrate their Super Bowl victory over the Kansas City Chiefs on Feb. 9.
'I was there along with Taylor Swift,' Trump noted during his speech.
'How did that work out?' he then asked rhetorically, as the crowd laughed. He repeated, 'How did that one work out?'
The 47th US president showed up at the big game alongside his kids Ivanka and Eric Trump.
Swift also attended to support her boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
But despite coming in with two consecutive Super Bowl victories, the Chiefs fell short, losing to the Eagles 22–40.
At one point, Swift was shown on the jumbotron at Caesars Superdome, prompting boos from football fans as she issued an intense side-eye in response.
Trump has made no secret of his disdain for the 'Bad Blood' singer.
After Swift, 35, endorsed Kamala Harris for president ahead of the 2024 election, he slammed the Grammy winner on his Truth Social platform.
'I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!' Trump, 78, wrote via the platform in September 2024.
In August 2024, Trump posted AI-generated images on Truth Social falsely suggesting Swift's support for his campaign.
One image depicted Swift dressed as Uncle Sam with the caption, "Taylor wants you to vote for Donald Trump." Another showed fans wearing "Swifties for Trump" T-shirts.
Trump captioned the post with "I accept!"
These posts sparked backlash from Swift's fanbase, with many urging her to take legal action.
When questioned about the AI-generated images, Trump denied creating them, stating, "I don't know anything about them, other than somebody else generated them. I didn't generate them."
He added, "AI is always very dangerous in that way."
Despite the controversy, Swift has not publicly responded to Trump's remarks or the AI-generated images.
She has previously expressed her political views, endorsing Democratic candidates and advocating for various social issues.
Her fans, known as Swifties, hadbeen active in political discourse, with some forming groups like "Swifties for Kamala" to support Kamala Harris's presidential campaign.

Kim Carnes allegedly takes swipe at JoJo Siwa's "Bette Davis Eyes" cover in now-deleted post
Kim Carnes, the original voice behind the Grammy-winning hit Bette Davis Eyes, appeared to express disapproval of JoJo Siwa's recent cover of the song in a now-deleted TikTok post. Carnes shared a throwback clip of her music video for the 1981 classic, performing in a black pantsuit and sunglasses. The post was accompanied by a caption that read, 'There is a difference between singing a song.... And embodying it.... I've always believed authenticity is what makes music timeless.' She added, 'I'm forever grateful to be the voice behind this one..... Bette Davis Eyes.' Though Carnes did not name JoJo Siwa directly, her comments were posted just two days after JoJo's teaser of the cover began circulating online. The 22-year-old former Dance Moms star recreated the iconic look of Bette Davis, singing, 'She knows just what it takes to make a pro blush... she's got Bette Davis eyes.' JoJo hinted that more could be coming, writing, 'I'm undecided if I should release it on Spotify or not…. Would you want me to?!!!' She previously performed the track live and altered the lyrics to reference her boyfriend, singing 'Chris Hughes' eyes.' The viral clip triggered mixed reactions and parodies, sparking conversations around reinterpretation and vocal authenticity.

Chris Brown pleads not guilty to new London nightclub assault charges involving bottle attack in 2023
Grammy-winning R&B artist Chris Brown pleaded not guilty Friday to two additional charges related to an alleged assault on a music producer at a London nightclub in 2023, according to the Associated Press. The 36-year-old singer denied charges of assault causing actual bodily harm and possession of an offensive weapon — a bottle — during a brief appearance at Southwark Crown Court. The incident took place at Tape nightclub in the upscale Mayfair area in February 2023 and was reportedly caught on surveillance footage. Brown had previously pleaded not guilty to a more serious charge of attempting to cause grievous bodily harm during a court hearing last month. Wearing a light brown suit, Brown entered the courtroom as around 20 supporters watched from the public gallery. Several gasped when the singer walked in. He is best known for hits like 'Go Crazy,' 'Run It,' and 'Kiss Kiss.' Brown's co-defendant, fellow musician Omololu Akinlolu, 39, also pleaded not guilty to one count of actual bodily harm during the same hearing. In May, Brown was released on bail set at £5 million (approximately $6.75 million), which allowed him to proceed with his 'Breezy Bowl XX' tour. After completing dates across Europe, he is scheduled to perform in Miami later this month before continuing his North American leg, including a two-night stop in Toronto. Brown rose to stardom in 2005 and has won two Grammy Awards for Best R&B Album — first in 2011 for F.A.M.E. and most recently for 11:11 (Deluxe) earlier this year. He is expected to return to court as the legal proceedings continue.

Photo Reuters At least 20 Palestinians, including a child and a woman, were killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza on Saturday, according to local media and health officials. In Gaza City's Sabra neighbourhood, a child was killed in a strike on the Al Daya family home, Al Jazeera reported. A separate attack in the same area killed a woman and wounded three others. Elsewhere, at least 10 people were reported killed in Israeli strikes on Nuseirat in central Gaza. Three more died in attacks on al-Mawasi, while five were killed in western Gaza City. Family of slain US citizen in West Bank urges US-led probe The family of Sayfollah Musallet, a 20-year-old US citizen killed by Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank, is calling on Washington to launch an independent investigation and hold those responsible to account. Musallet, known as Saif, was reportedly surrounded and beaten for three hours during an assault on Friday, according to a family statement. The attackers also allegedly targeted medics attempting to reach him. 'This is an unimaginable nightmare and injustice that no family should ever have to face,' the family said. They described Saif as a kind and hardworking young man from Florida who had been striving to build a better future. 'We demand that the US State Department lead an immediate investigation and hold the Israeli settlers who killed Saif accountable for their crimes. We demand justice,' the statement added. Rights group urges prosecution of Trump over Gaza aid killings The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor has called for US President Donald Trump to be prosecuted for alleged complicity in genocide over his support for the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation's (GHF) aid distribution model. In a statement on X (formerly known as twitter), the Geneva-based group urged international legal bodies to hold Trump accountable for backing the GHF, where Israeli forces have killed hundreds of Palestinians at aid collection points in recent weeks. Euro-Med calls for prosecution of Trump and immediate shutdown of Gaza Humanitarian Foundation over massacres at aid points — Euro-Med Monitor (@EuroMedHR) July 12, 2025 The group said field testimony pointed to the presence of private US security contractors working alongside Israeli forces during some of the fatal incidents. It also accused Trump's administration of offering Israel broad military, financial, political and diplomatic support during its ongoing war in Gaza.
