Donald Trump Says Taylor Swift Stopped Being ‘Hot’ After Becoming His Enemy

The United States president took another shot at the superstar singer on Friday, May 16, seemingly holding onto his grudge against her for backing Democrats in the last two presidential elections

Donald Trump reignited his one-sided feud with Taylor Swift on Friday, May 16, posting a personal dig at the pop star on his Truth Social account.

“Has anyone noticed that, since I said ‘I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,’ she’s no longer ‘HOT?’ ” the United States president, 78, posted to his nearly 10 million followers.

Trump’s initial all-caps outburst toward Swift came in September 2024, after the 35-year-old singer spoke out against AI-generated images of her that had been used to promote his presidential campaign — and publicly announced her endorsement of Democrat Kamala Harris.

The next day, Trump responded to Swift’s endorsement in an interview with Fox & Friends.

“I was not a Taylor Swift fan,” he said on the show. “It was just a question of time. … But she’s a very liberal person. She seems to always endorse a Democrat. And she’ll probably pay a price for it in the marketplace.”

Since then, it seems that Trump hasn’t let go of the grudge. He took another shot at the singer while celebrating the Philadelphia Eagles’ Super Bowl championship at the White House on April 28.

Trump noted that both he and Swift were in attendance at the championship game — the latter obviously cheering on boyfriend Travis Kelce, who plays for the Kansas City Chiefs.

“How did that work out?” he asked, to laughs from the crowd, before repeating the question: “How did that one work out?”

While Trump might publicly claim to hate the “Shake It Off” singer, some of his famous family members count themselves as Swifties.

In October 2024, the president’s eldest daughter, Ivanka Trump, took her 13-year-old daughter, Arabella, to see Swift’s Eras Tour at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.

Arabella even received a Swift-themed birthday cake in July 2024.

“Best cake for my favorite Swiftie,” Ivanka captioned an Instagram photo of the heart-shaped dessert, which resembled the cake featured in the “Blank Space” music video.
