Taylor Swift is currently the most popular and influential singer in the world. For a long time, many people accused her of political passivity. Americans were expecting the artist to declare who she would vote for in the November presidential elections. Taylor Swift did so after the debate held between the candidates. She announced on Instagram that she supports Kamala Harris and her vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz. Donald Trump was asked for a comment.
Republican candidate Donald Trump has spoken about Taylor Swift multiple times. A few weeks ago, he stated that she is an incredibly attractive woman. He admitted that he regrets that she has more liberal views than he does. However, he believed that the artist supports his candidacy. All because of photos that appeared online. They depicted Taylor Swift's fans wearing shirts with slogans promoted by Trump. The problem is that they were created by AI.
Donald Trump comments on Taylor Swift’s words
Taylor Swift's post about supporting Kamala Harris and voting for her appeared just a few minutes after the presidential debate ended. The singer’s post on Instagram was liked by many world-class stars. Among them were Selena Gomez, Viola Davis, Charlie XCX, Stevie Nicks, and Finneas O’Connell. Moreover, just a few hours after Taylor Swift shared a link to register to vote, over 300,000 citizens used it.
Journalists asked Donald Trump for a comment. They wanted to know what he thought about the most influential woman in the world supporting his opponent. The politician, with his known nonchalance, said that he was never a fan of the singer. He added that he expected the artist to vote for Kamala Harris. Furthermore, he stated that Taylor Swift "will pay for it in the music market." It is unclear what he meant exactly. However, this sentence sounds like a kind of threat.
