When it comes to his feud with Taylor Swift, Donald Trump has to be disciplined, and he couldn’t help but criticize the singer in a speech to the Philadelphia Eagles, the team’s champion quarterback, for the Super Bowl.
Donald Trump has seized his opportunity to mock Taylor Swift after the singer openly endorsed his rival in the 2024 election. The 47th US president, 78, couldn’t help but take aim at the 35-year-old icon in his latest White House speech after welcoming the Super Bowl winners, Philadelphia Eagles.
The Eagles defeated Kansas City Chiefs in the huge NFL fixture on February 9, with Swift in attendance cheering on her boyfriend, Travis Kelce. However, her appearance on the jumbo screen at the time was met with a mixture of boos – and Trump couldn’t wait to mock her once again.
Speaking to the team in his speech, Trump said: “I was there along with Taylor Swift.”
The crowd was then rhetorically asked, “How did that work out?” He repeated, “How did that one work out?,” to the delight of his audience.
It’s not the first time Trump has took aim at the Shake It Off star. Taking to Truth Social following the Eagles’ victory in February, Trump ruthlessly blasted her by sharing contrasting clips of his applause versus boos which emanated from the crowd when she was projected on stadium screens at New Orleans’ Caesar’s Superdome.
Taylor Swift was the only person who had a tougher night than the Kansas City Chiefs, according to a different user’s post with the caption “Trump gets massive cheers at the Super Bowl while booed.” She exited the stadium with a BOOOO. “MAGA is very unforgiving”!
Swift was not forced to leave the stadium due to the jeers, contrary to what he claimed.
The pair’s most recent public outburst was just the latest example of how they have never hidden their animosity. On his Truth Social platform, Trump previously said, “I HATE Taylor Swift.”
After Swift publicly backing Kamala Harris in the lead-up to the last US election, he made an unexpected outburst in September of last year.
Trump had publicly questioned her political allegiances after he had praised her for being “beautiful” but had publicly questioned her. He declared in June 2024, “I think she’s very beautiful! She is very lovely, in my opinion.
She appears to be liberal, I believe. She presumably dislikes Trump. She is, in my opinion, very talented. She is incredibly beautiful, in my opinion, which is unusually beautiful!
However, Trump continued to e-mail Ramin Setoodah, the co-editor-in-chief of Variety, asking, “But she is liberal, or is that just an act. She is genuinely liberal, right? It’s not a performance, is it? It surprises me how a liberal country star can succeed.
As well as backing against Trump in 2024, the singer also endorsed Democrat Phil Bredesen in the Tennessee mid-terms in 2018, as well as previously backing Joe Biden and Harris in 2020.
Swift also publicly criticised the then-President for his comments about Black Lives Matter protesters, accusing him of “igniting the flames of white supremacy your entire presidency.”
