Before making his feelings public, the former president had shared AI-generated images implying Swift’s support for him.
Donald Trump has expressed strong disapproval of Taylor Swift following her endorsement of Kamala Harris for the 2024 presidential race. In a post on his Truth Social platform, the ex-president declared, “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!”
This reaction came five days after Swift, in an Instagram post, announced her decision to support Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz, stating, “I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 presidential election. 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.”
Earlier in August, Trump had posted AI-generated images on his social platform suggesting that Swift endorsed him, including one where Swift was depicted dressed as Uncle Sam, along with the message, “Taylor wants you to vote for Donald Trump.” He also shared manipulated images of women wearing “Swifties for Trump” shirts.
Swift later commented on these posts, noting that they prompted her to clarify her political stance. “It really conjured up my fears around AI, and the dangers of spreading misinformation,” Swift wrote on Instagram. “It brought me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter.”
Former Congresswoman Liz Cheney also chimed in on Trump’s outburst, taking to X (formerly Twitter) and referencing one of Swift’s song titles by writing, “Says the smallest man who ever lived.”
