Former President Donald Trump has publicly expressed his disdain for pop star Taylor Swift, just days after she endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming presidential election, reported the New York Post.
"I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!" Trump wrote in all capital letters on his social media platform Truth Social on Sunday. The outburst came shortly after Swift publicly backed Harris following the high-stakes ABC News debate between Trump and the vice president.

Online commentators have been cleverly responding to Trump's X account using Swift's lyrics. One wrote that Swift was the wrong celebrity to mess with, quoting her song "Vigilante Sh*t," in which Swift says, "Don't get mad, get even." Another answered the question in her song, titled, "Who's Afraid of Little Old Me?," writing, "the former president." Others quoted, "You Need to Calm Down," in which she says, "You say it in a tweet, that's a copout." Others made reference to her 2014 single, titled "Bad Blood."
This is not the first time Swift has involved herself in presidential politics. The singer previously endorsed President Joe Biden in the 2020 election, demonstrating a pattern of support for Democratic candidates. With Swift's massive fan base, her public support for Harris could potentially sway voters, especially among younger demographics.

Swift's endorsement of Harris came at a crucial time in the campaign, following a significant debate between the two candidates. The timing of her support could potentially give Harris a boost in popularity, especially among Swift's predominantly young fan base.
As reported by the New York Post, Trump's reaction to Swift's endorsement has become a trending topic, generating significant buzz on social media platforms and in political circles. The newspaper noted that this latest development adds another layer of complexity to an already heated presidential race.
