Trump says he hates Taylor Swift after she endorses Kamala Harris
From: The Guardian
Before announcing his feelings, ex-president had posted AI images suggesting Swift had endorsed him for president.
Donald Trump has addressed Taylor Swift's endorsement of Kamala Harris in November's presidential race by announcing his hatred of the pop star.
The former president and Republican nominee wrote on Sunday on his Truth Social platform: “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!”
Swift five days earlier announced her endorsement of Harris and running mate Tim Walz shortly after the vice-president debated Trump.
In an Instagram post, the 34-year-old singer wrote, “I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 presidential election,” adding, “I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos.”
Ex-congresswoman and frequent Trump political opponent Liz Cheney summed up the typical reaction to Sunday's post, invoking the title of a Swift song and writing on X: “Says the smallest man who ever lived.”
Meanwhile, Swift on Wednesday evening urged her fans to vote during her acceptance of the Video of the Year award at MTV's Video Music Awards ceremony in Elmont, New York.
“If you are over 18, please register to vote for something else that's very important … [the] presidential election,” she said.
Though Trump now says he hates Swift, it wasn't that long ago that he apparently coveted her endorsement. He posted images generated by artificial intelligence that suggested Swift had endorsed Trump for president in August.
One image showed Swift dressed as Uncle Sam, accompanied with the words, “Taylor wants you to vote for Donald Trump.”
The former president also posted deepfakes of young women wearing “Swifties for Trump” shirts on his Truth Social Account, writing, “I accept!”
Swift said Trump's posts influenced her decision to announce her endorsement.
“It really conjured up my fears around AI, and the dangers of spreading misinformation,” she wrote on her Instagram. “It brought me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter.”
