Donald Trump has taken aim at Taylor Swift, saying she is “disloyal” to the man who made her so much money, while labeling Travis Kelce a “liberal.”
The Republican hopeful, 77-year-old, said it was his legislation that enabled pop star Taylor to achieve stratospheric fame and success – and not ‘crooked’ Joe Biden.
Trump said there is “no way” she can support Democrat Biden ahead of the election. While Swift stayed away from mainstream politics, she vowed to kick Trump out of the White House during the last election – and announced she is voting Democrat.
It wasn’t all Trump doom and gloom for Swift and her Kansas City Chiefs boyfriend Kelce, as Trump announced, “I like her boyfriend Travis.”
Trump wrote on Truth Social on the day of the Super Bowl: “I signed and was responsible for the Music Modernization Act for Taylor Swift and all other musical artists. Joe Biden has done nothing for Taylor and never will.
“There is no way she would support Crooked Joe Biden, the worst and most corrupt president in our country’s history, and be disloyal to the man who made her so much money.
“Besides, I like her boyfriend Travis, even though he might be liberal and probably can’t stand me!”

This comes after Trump told his aides that it doesn’t matter if Taylor Swift supports Joe Biden – because he’s “more popular” than them anyway.
The 77-year-old commented on reports that the pop megastar was preparing to endorse Biden, and that Biden’s campaign was desperate for her to appear on stage with the president at a rally. Swift endorsed Biden in 2020.
He is said to believe even the pop megastar won’t be able to rob him of a victory in November, despite Dems hoping Swift could dramatically sway the vote.
The New York Times reported that Swift is a key name on Biden aides’ “wish lists of potential surrogates.”
Trump also said, according to Rolling Stone, that it was wrong for Swift to be named Time Magazine’s Person of the Year in December 2023 because the award “clearly” should have gone to him.
Swift’s political influence is sought after by all parties, but for years she remained openly neutral.

She was born in Pennsylvania, but moved to Nashville as a young girl to pursue music. Initially, she was loathe to say anything that would alienate her traditionally Republican country music fan base.
But in 2018, she spoke out against Republican Sen. Marsha Blackburn, saying her voting record “dismays and frightens me.”
Trump – who called her “fantastic” and “amazing” in 2012 – was angered by Swift’s comments.
“You know, Marsha Blackburn is doing very well in Tennessee, she’s leading substantially now,” Trump said. ‘She’s a wonderful woman.
“I’m sure Taylor Swift doesn’t know anything about her. And let’s just say I like Taylor’s music about 25 percent less now.”
Swift subsequently endorsed Biden, and last year a single Instagram post of hers led to 35,000 new voter registrations.
A poll this month from Redfield & Wilton Strategies found that 18 percent of voters said they were “more likely” or “significantly more likely” to vote for a candidate supported by Swift.
