Trump says ‘I hate Taylor Swift’ after pop star endorses Harris

Former President Donald Trump has declared himself very much not a Swiftie.

Days after Taylor Swift endorsed Kamala Harris for president, the Republican presidential nominee expressed his distaste for the mega pop star — in all caps.

“I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social on Sunday.

After the debate between Harris and Trump had wrapped on Tuesday night, Swift threw her support behind the Democratic vice president.

“She fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them,” Swift wrote to her more than 280 million followers on Instagram. “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 claimed she was prompted to reveal her “real goals for this election as a voter” when she became aware that Trump had spread falsehoods indicating that he was winning her support.

Last month, Trump posted an AI-generated image of Swift in an Uncle Sam garb providing a phoney endorsement to his campaign, along with other photos pushing the idea that he’d won over some of her audience. “I accept,” he stated in uploading the photographs. He’s subsequently denied knowing anything about the photographs.

Swift’s past endorsements and political statements have a record of boosting civic engagement. Swift first made her political views known ahead of the 2018 midterms, voicing her support for LGBTQIA rights and gender and racial equality, when her endorsement of two Tennessee congressional candidates prompted tens of thousands of people to register to vote.

Swift’s recent Instagram endorsement drove more than 300,000 visitors to the voter registration website Vote.gov, NPR reported.
