Donald Trump is speaking out after Taylor Swift endorsed Kamala Harris!
Just minutes after Tuesday’s presidential debate ended, the pop star took to her social media channels with a photo of her and her cat, endorsing the Democratic nominee and slamming Donald for his use of AI imagery of her and more.

On Wednesday morning, the Republican reacted to the diss as he called in to Fox & Friends. He was obviously frustrated by the endorsement but tried to hide it by shouting out one of his public supporters, Taylor’s pal Brittany Mahomes. He said:
“Well, I actually like Mrs. Mahomes much better, if you want to know the truth. She’s a big Trump fan. I was not a Taylor Swift fan. It was just a question of time. She couldn’t — you couldn’t possibly endorse Biden. … But she’s a very liberal person. She seems to always endorse a Democrat and she’ll probably pay a price for it in the marketplace. But, no, I like Brittany. I think Brittany’s great. Brittany got a lotta news last week. She’s a big MAGA fan. That’s the one I like much better than Taylor Swift. Wife of the great quarterback [Patrick Mahomes]. I think she’s terrific.”

OK, but like, this is a CRAZY comparison to be made. Taylor is so influential with millions of followers around the world. Brittany is a football player’s wife with a much smaller following. Her stance isn’t as likely to sway voters as the singer’s endorsement. In fact, her public support for Trump could be why Taylor was so determined to make her thoughts clear. She was taking a LOT of heat for their friendship amid her silence, after all!
Oh, and just for the record, Trump may claim he never liked the All Too Well vocalist, but he’s actually been pretty complimentary of her in the past. You know, when he was maybe hoping he still stood a chance at getting her vote! In the book Apprentice in Wonderland: How Donald Trump and Mark Burnett Took America Through the Looking Glass, Donald told author Ramin Setoodeh:
“I think she’s beautiful — very beautiful! I find her very beautiful. I think she’s liberal. She probably doesn’t like Trump. I hear she’s very talented. I think she’s very beautiful, actually — unusually beautiful!”
Just weeks ago, he also posted several images of the Grammy winner and her fans, several of which appeared to be AI-generated images showing fake support for him. So, he knew how important her vote was gonna be! Taylor actually addressed this AI mess in her latest statement, too, writing:
“Recently I was made aware that AI of ‘me’ falsely endorsing Donald Trump’s presidential run was posted to his site. It really conjured up my fears around AI, and the dangers of spreading misinformation. It brought me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter. The simplest way to combat misinformation is with the truth.”
She continued:
“I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election. I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them. 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. I was so heartened and impressed by her selection of running mate @timwalz, who has been standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman’s right to her own body for decades.”
She also perfectly signed off the post, writing, “Taylor Swift Childless Cat Lady.” Hah!
Reactions, Perezcious readers?? How do you think Trump REALLY feels about this endorsement?? Sound OFF (below)!
