A few days after the well-known singer announced her support for Ms. Harris, Trump said in a tweet on the social media platform Truth Social that he “hates Taylor Swift”.

On September 15, Republican contender and former US President Donald Trump posted on his personal social network Truth Social, saying, “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,” without providing any other context or commentary.

The 7.71 million-plus Truth Social followers of Mr. Trump have also said in the past that he is “not a fan of Taylor”.

In an Instagram post on September 10, Taylor Swift affirmed her status as a “talented, stable leader” and declared her support for Democratic candidate Kamala Harris.

With 10 million likes on Taylor Swift’s post, there was conjecture that Ms. Harris’s chances of winning the presidential election later this year may be enhanced. Over 400 million people follow the singer on social media sites like Instagram, TikTok, and others.

Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz posted on X, referencing one of Taylor Swift’s songs, “With the help of Taylor Swift’s supporters, we will defeat the smallest man who ever lived,” in response to Trump’s recent statement.

Many of the singer’s fans shared the status “I LOVE TAYLOR SWIFT” on X in response to Trump’s statement.

“Accusing Taylor Swift of being at fault is a very poor political tactic. One person commented, “Taylor is not angry, but she will punish.”

But many of others also voiced their support for Trump by denouncing the Biden administration.

What Trump intended to achieve by publicising the criticism of Taylor Swift is unclear. The two had, nevertheless, been “talking back and forth” for a long time. Following Taylor Swift’s declaration of her endorsement of the Democratic candidate for the 2018 elections, Mr. Trump informed reporters at the White House that “my interest in Taylor’s music is now 25% less.”
