Donald Trump says Taylor Swift ‘no longer hot' due to his own criticism, continues public feud after her endorsement of Kamala Harris

Swift endorsed Kamala Harris after debate with Trump
Taylor Swift publicly endorsed Kamala Harris for president after the September 10, 2024, debate between Harris and Trump. In an Instagram post shared with her 284 million followers, Swift wrote, 'I'm voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them.' She also said Harris is a 'steady-handed, gifted leader' and emphasized the importance of calm leadership over chaos.
The post, which came shortly after the debate, received over 9 million likes and generated widespread attention. The endorsement was seen by many political observers as a significant moment in the race.
Trump's response escalated over time
Trump initially responded to Swift's endorsement by saying he was 'not a Taylor fan.' However, days later, he escalated his reaction by posting in all caps on Truth Social, 'I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!' That post was a turning point in his public criticism of the singer, which has since become more direct and personal.
In previous years, Trump had made lighter comments about Swift. After she backed Democratic candidates in the 2018 midterm elections, he told reporters, 'Let's say that I like Taylor's music about 25% less now.'
Political impact and public reaction
Trump's latest attack comes as polling shows Kamala Harris gaining support, leading some to speculate that Swift's endorsement could have political influence. In response to Trump's posts, Harris' running mate Tim Walz wrote on X (formerly Twitter): 'Swifties: With your help we're gonna defeat the smallest man who ever lived.' The comment was a reference to Swift's song 'The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived.'
Trump's post also sparked reactions online, with Swift supporters sharing 'I LOVE TAYLOR SWIFT' messages on social media. Meanwhile, some Trump supporters used the moment to criticize the Democratic administration.
Despite the back-and-forth, Swift continues to dominate the music world. Her 'Eras Tour' concluded last December as the first $2 billion tour in music history. She holds the record for the most Grammy album of the year wins and has a net worth of $1.6 billion, according to Forbes.

Patrick Mahomes' wife Brittany Mahomes may have sparked drama between Taylor Swift and Blake Lively with one party rumor
From champagne showers to cosmetic surgery rumors, Brittany Mahomes faced her share of controversies (Getty Images) Brittany Mahomes has become an unfiltered figure in the NFL world—not just as the wife of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes , but as a woman navigating constant scrutiny in the spotlight. Between her high-profile friendships, political controversy, and whispers of Hollywood-level gossip, Brittany's image has become both glamorous and polarizing. And she's not backing down. Brittany Mahomes faces cosmetic rumors and public judgment, but fights back with confidence In the past year, Brittany has been at the center of repeated speculation over her appearance, with whispers of a nose job and breast augmentation after giving birth to her third child. Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Patrick Davis told Nicki Swift that her nose appeared 'more thin and geometric,' pointing toward a possible rhinoplasty. However, Brittany has only confirmed Botox and fillers, clarifying during a 2023 Instagram Q&A. Her response to breast implant rumors was classic Brittany: 'Haters will say they are fake, but breastfeeding moms will understand.' The remark drew praise from fans who applauded her candidness, with comments like '#hotmomma' flooding her feed. In a since-viral Instagram story posted in August 2024, she added, 'I mean honestly, to be a hater as an adult, you have to have some deep-rooted issues you refuse to heal from childhood.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo That unapologetic energy defines her persona.

That Brittany spilled gossip at a birthday party about actress Blake Lively allegedly trying to have an affair with It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni. This claim—brought forward by independent journalist Katie Paulson via alleged Instagram screenshots—suggests Taylor Swift, close friends with Lively, was 'over Blake and uninterested in this fight.' While unverified, the gossip adds fuel to ongoing speculation about Brittany's place in the Swift circle, especially given Swift's rising influence within the NFL world, thanks to her relationship with Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce . Brittany stirred more controversy when she liked a pro-Donald Trump Instagram post in August 2024. Given Patrick Mahomes' biracial background and his decision to remain politically neutral—saying 'I want people to use their voice'—the move sparked backlash and even divorce rumors. Trump later praised her on Truth Social, adding further fuel to the divide.
