Trump Provokes Controversy with Taylor Swift Remark

On May 16, 2025, President Trump ignited controversy by sharing a post on Truth Social: “Has anyone observed that, since I declared ‘I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,’ she is no longer considered ‘HOT?’” This post comes in the wake of his 2024 outburst following Swift’s endorsement of Kamala Harris.

Trump also ridiculed Swift regarding the boos she encountered during the Super Bowl while she was present with Travis Kelce. In spite of the backlash, both fans and celebrities came to her defense, emphasizing the persistent discord between Trump and the pop star.
