Liz Cheney, a Taylor Swift fan, was among the many to react yesterday when Donald Trump posted a tweet saying: “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT”.
Last week, Swift said she would be voting for Kamala Harris in November. It came after Harris’s TV debate with Trump, and following weeks of speculation as to whether Swift would publicly endorse the Vice President.
The Trump-Vance campaign has dismissed the singer’s endorsement of Harris. Then Trump posted his “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT” message to Truth Social.

Back in June, former GOP Rep. Liz Cheney saw Taylor Swift perform in London. At the time, she reposted a video clip to taunt Donald Trump. She tagged Trump and said, “This is what a sold out crowd actually looks like.”
Thank you @taylorswift13 for giving us a million reasons to smile.

In January, Cheney wrote, “Taylor Swift is a national treasure.”
Cheney yesterday re-shared Trump’s latest social media posting, adding, “Says the smallest man who ever lived.”

This is likely a reference to the Taylor Swift song, “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived” from her most recent album, The Tortured Poets Department.
Cheney’s tweet had received over 160k likes. Predictably, it also prompted the ire of MAGA, who have not forgiven Cheney for her role on the January 6th committee.
Cheney, a Republican whilst in office, has publicly endorsed Kamala Harris for November. Her father, Dick Cheney, has done the same.
Harris-Walz campaign responds
Others to react to Trump’s hatred of Taylor Swift included the Harris-Walz campaign. It posted a statement littered with Taylor Swift song references. It was headlined ‘Trump’s bad week (Taylor’s version)’.

“Mr. Not-at-all Fine has spent this week working through his feelings, whining about his Champagne Problems, and spending exactly none of his time addressing the issues facing the American people,” Harris’s campaign stated. “His rambling, yelling, and constant conspiracy theories have many asking if The Man is ‘too emotional’ to be president.”
Here are some other well-liked reactions.

A perhaps surprising reaction came from Scooter Braun. The celebrity manager was at loggerheads with Swift for several years over ownership of her master tapes. This prompted Swift to embark on a project to re-record her earlier records.
Braun reposted Trump’s social media posting to his Instagram stories, suggesting Trump “shake it off”. He also endorsed Kamala for November’s election.
The FBI is currently investigating a potential second assassination attempt on Donald Trump. Secret Service agents saw a man with a gun on Trumop’s golf course in Florida yesterday. The man fled and was later apprehended by law enforcement.
if you told me three months ago “donald trump survives second assassination attempt after posting ‘i hate taylor swift’ following the singer’s endorsement of kamala harris” bitch what

What a great description for the teenage drama queen in an old man’s suit and red tie. If the voters don’t retire him, time will. The way things are looking for Cadet Bone Spurs, his continued sabotaging of his own campaign will sweep in a Blue Wave in November. Keep opening your mouth trumpy. Every time you do, another Democrat, particularly the “Swifties,” goes out and registers to vote as a Democrat—such a “stable genius” LOL.
The democrats couldn’t cook up a better strategy. He is destroying his chances to be re-elected just by opening his pie hole. Perfect!

Waron seems pretty astute to me.
I’ve never heard a single Taylor Swift song, so I don’t care who she endorses.
As for Liz Cheney saying Trump is the smallest man to have ever lived, he was big enough to keep her from being reelected.

Let’s see. Trump got 119k people to vote against Liz Cheney. Taylor Swift got over 400k people to go register to vote or check their voter registration. Liz comment checks out, Trump’s sway is looking kinda small.
Anyway else see that Alaska and Iowa polling numbers have now put both states in play.

I find it funny that Trump blames Biden and Harris for his assassination attempts. He’s definitely not “America’s favorite President” as he proclaims. Trump bring it all on himself with his name calling, stupid promises and hateful lies.

“He’s definitely not “America’s favorite President” as he proclaims.”
In the 2020 election, Donald Trump received more votes than any other Republican candidate or sitting president before him.

Biden got more votes than Trump in the 2020 election. Hence why he won.

Per Taylor Swift:
“You say it in the street, that’s a knock out.
But you say it in a tweet, that’s a cop out.
And I’m just like hey!”

Trump is definitely not okay.

“The second assassin is a registered Democrat with a Biden/Harris bumper sticker on his truck.

Dude, we have the receipts. So far every “assassin” has been a Republican. It’s all staged.

The Taylor Swift endorsement turns more voters from Harris than it attracts:
8% will vote for Kamala
20% will vote for Trump
66% no difference
Swift lost 17 million followers on Instagram by endorsing Kammie.
Isn’t just about every song in her catalog about bad decisions and choosing the wrong person?

Classes of schoolchildren are posted up across the street from venue where Vice President Kamala Harris will participate in a moderated interview with members of the National Association of Black Journalists, or NABJ. The students are breaking out in sporadic cheers as honking vehicles ride by, and others engage in chants of “Ka-ma-La.” But standing among them was a lone man holding a small makeshift “Trump” sign, while larger posters in front of him read “Kamala Loves Hamas” and “Trump vs. Tramp.”

Everyone is endorsing Kamala Harris.
Billie Eilish, the pop music star, endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris. Eilish, who is known for songs including “Bad Guy” and “Birds of a Feather,” said in a video on social media that the vice president is “fighting to protect our reproductive freedom, our planet and our democracy.” Eilish joined her brother and collaborator Finneas in the video.

Yay, another round of you making things up.
As pointed out repeatedly, you have zero evidence to black you wacky McDonalds’s claims. Calling me a liar because you can’t back your claims is more a statement of your poor critical thinking skills.
Ryan Routh has been registered as an Independent since 2019, you claim that he is a registered Democrat is false.
Routh supported Trump in 2016. in 2020 he supported Tulsi Gabbard (who is she currently workin for?). For 2024 he supported Rameswamy and then Haley. Like many Republicans and former Trump supporters he saw that Trump was unfit for office and supported Biden/Harris because Trump became the nominee. His picks clearly lean Republican and he is no more a Democrat than Liz Cheney.
abfab
Hate is such a harsh word.
Eternal.Cowboy
So I went looking for confirmation on Waron’s poll numbers and you all are never going to believe this, Waron has misrepresented what the polling said.
The question asked was, “Does Taylor Swift’s endorsement make you more likely to vote for Harris?”
The response options ranged from ” More Likely” at the top, “No Difference” in the middle” and “Much Less Likely” at the bottom. There was no option that said “I’m going to vote for Trump”, that is a fabrication on the part of Waron. 19% did say they were Much Less Likely and in the context of the additional information from the poll it really isn’t surprising.
The poll did ask people how they identified:
33% Democrat
30% Republican
26% Independent
3% Other
8% Not Sure
And the poll asked who would vote for in a two way match up if the election were today:
50% Harris
45% Trump
3% Not Sure
2% I would not vote
Overall good numbers for Harris as it shows independents breaking for her more so than they do in most national polls. Especially if you did into the poll and how participants viewed the Harris/Trump debate. For example only 28% of the respondents thought Trump was coherent, 49% thought he was untruthful, 39% thought he was strong and 35% thought he was presidential. That means his own supports think he was incoherent, dishonest, weak and not presidential. Harris handily beat him in all of those.
Anyway, I’d guess the 20% that are “much less likely” to vote for Harris were already in the Trump’s 45%.
All of that said, the poll isn’t particularly relevant. It was 1775 adults. Quality polling doesn’t just do a random sampling of people they look for registered voters and preferably likely voters. 38% of the participants in this poll didn’t vote in 2020, so they are certainly not likely voters. The poll did not ask if they were registered.

There is more than one poll.
Still waiting on the name of the McDonald’s franchisee.
You didn’t address your lie(s) about the second assassin being a Democrat.
Eternal.Cowboy
There has has been one poll on Swift’s influence and it’s by YouGov. It’s the one that The independent, New York Post and the rest of the right wing eco chamber latched onto. It was pretty easy to find since you used the verbatim title of the independent in your comment. I have also notice that several of your comments were just cut and pasted from the New York Post but without attribution. So you are apparently a fan of plagiarism.
I answered your McDonalds question above. Sorry you don’t know how the internet works, not much I can do about it.
Response about the guy being a Democrat is waiting moderation. Spoiler alert he isn’t.

The republicans.
North Carolina’s Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, now running to be governor of the Tar Heel State, rose to fame in the GOP by channeling the id of the typical MAGA voter. His speeches and social media presence channel a D-list shock jock mentality, filtered through a Christian nationalist lens, that’s grown in popularity in the Trump era. He calls LGBTQ people “filth,” “maggots,” and “flies,” insisting they should be forced to “find a corner outside” rather than be allowed to use public restrooms. He’s denounced women’s suffrage and argued that once a woman is pregnant, her body belongs to “the daddy.” And before Tucker Carlson was embracing Holocaust denialism, Robinson was raving that it was “hogwash” to believe the Nazi genocide of Jews happened.
