Taylor Swift and Donald Trump are caught in a social media clash. Who holds more influence? Explore the surprising feud and their battle for popularity!
Taylor Swift v/s Donald Trump: Who’s winning the popularity game? (X)
New Delhi: It’s not every day you see a former U.S. president taking on a pop star, but that’s exactly what happened when Donald Trump fired off a heated message on Truth Social. His target? None other than Taylor Swift. Trump’s all-caps post, “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!” sent shockwaves across social media on Sunday (September 15), leaving fans and critics alike wondering what triggered the outburst.
Trump’s tweet on Taylor Swift
The timing of Trump’s attack didn’t seem random. Just days earlier, the Bad Blood crooner had posted on Instagram that she was backing Vice President Kamala Harris, calling her a “steady-handed, gifted leader.” The post, which garnered over 10 million likes, came moments after Trump’s debate with Harris—a debate many believed he didn’t win.
Taylor, 34, has a reputation for using her voice to advocate for causes she believes in and has been outspoken about her political views in recent years. And while celebrity endorsements don’t always sway elections, the singer-songwriter’s massive influence is undeniable. Fans quickly rallied behind her, with one social media user on X (formerly Twitter) cheekily noting, “Going after Taylor Swift is a genuinely bad campaign strategy. Taylor doesn’t get mad, she gets even.”
Is Taylor Swift more popular than Donald Trump?
With over 200 million followers across her social platforms, Taylor’s political endorsements hold serious clout, enough to ruffle Trump’s feathers. It’s unclear what the politician hoped to gain by attacking the singer. Perhaps he thought any publicity was good publicity. But going after one of the world’s most beloved pop stars might not have been his wisest move. Taylor’s fanbase is fiercely loyal, and many saw the attack as a sign of desperation on Trump’s part.
The situation was further fueled by Trump’s connection with right-wing influencer Laura Loomer, who has a history of promoting conspiracy theories. Loomer even went as far as to claim that Swift’s new relationship with NFL star Travis Kelce was “arranged” to influence the 2024 election. However, there’s no evidence supporting the claims.
