Key data
“Has anyone realized that, since I said ‘I hate Taylor Swift’, she is no longer ‘wow’?” Trump said, referring to a publication he made in Truth Social in September criticizing the singer after she supported her opponent, former Vice President Kamala Harris.
The reason for Trump’s attack on Swift is not clear, since Swift has not mentioned it recently and has maintained a low profile on social networks and in public since his successful eras Tour concluded in December.
Minutes later, Trump made another post attacking the “highly overvalued Bruce Springsteen” after the musician criticized Trump as “traitor” and “not suitable” for the position while he was on stage in London on Wednesday.
“I never liked, I never liked his music or his radical left policy and, more importantly, he is not a talented guy,” Trump said about Springsteen, criticizing him for supporting his former opponent, former President Joe Biden.
Trump threatened Springsteen, whom he called a “dry rocker and ‘passes dry’, with” keeping her mouth closed until she returns to the country. “
Also in his publication about Springsteen, Trump renewed his criticism of Biden, whom he has attacked in hundreds of publications in Truth Social since he assumed the position, calling him “our worst president of history.”
What did Bruce Springsteen say about Trump in his concert in the United Kingdom?
Springsteen, a Trump critic for a long time, said on the opening night of his tour of the United Kingdom this week that the United States is “currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and traitorous administration.” Springsteen accused the Trump administration of alienating the allies of the United States, making civil rights back and “abandoning the poorest children in the world to disease and death.” He also referred to Trump’s current battle with Harvard University and the deportation of several international students by his administration: “They are defining US universities that do not bend before their ideological demands. They are taking out the residents of US streets and, without the due legal process, they are deporting them to foreign detention centers and foreign prisons,” said Springsteen. After the show, the White House said in a statement that “the 77 million Americans who chose President Trump disagreed with elitist and disconnected celebrities from reality as Bruce Springsteen,” and added that it is “welcome to stay abroad,” NBC News said. Springsteen supported Trump’s three presidential democratic opponents, and previously criticized Trump as a “threat to our democracy.”
How have Taylor Swift and Trump face?
Swift has spoken against Trump’s presidency since his first mandate and backed both Biden in 2020 and Harris in 2024, which has caused Trump to throw multiple attacks against the singer. In 2019, Swift accused Trump of treating the presidency as a “autocracy” and, a year later, he criticized his controversial statement that “when the looting begins, the shots begin”, while the protests exploded after the death of George Floyd at the hands of the police. “After enviving the fire of white supremacy and racism throughout your presidency, do you have the impudence of pretending moral superiority before threatening with violence? ‘When the looting begins, the shots begin?’ Declating: “I accept!” Swift later wrote on Instagram that the images of AI were one of the reasons why he decided to vocally support Harris. After Swift supported Harris, Trump declared in “Fox & Friends”: “I am not a fan of Taylor Swift,” and added: “It seems that he always supports a Democrat, and will probably pay a market price.” Trump criticized Swift again in February after the Super Bowl, which he attended to support his boyfriend, the closed wing of the Kansas City Chiefs, Travis Kelce, where he received some boos when he appeared on a giant screen. “The only one that had a more difficult night that the Kansas City Chiefs was Taylor Swift. They booed her and threw her out of the stadium. Maga is very implacable!” Trump said in Truth Social.
