SUMMARY
  • Donald Trump once praised Taylor Swift’s beauty extensively in his book.
  • It will make her boyfriend Travis Kelce’s praise look diminished in comparison.
  • But Swift’s political endorsement led to Trump’s public hatred on social media.

Once upon a time (not too long ago), there was a world where Donald Trump adored Taylor Swift. The former president couldn’t get enough of her looks and talent, showering her with compliments. But fast forward to today, and it’s a different story.

Trump, who once seemed star-struck by the pop sensation, now can’t contain his disdain, proclaiming his hatred in all-caps. It’s a dramatic transformation that has caught many off guard. However, it doesn’t matter much since she’s basking in high-profile attention and praise from NFL star Travis Kelce.

But to be honest, the admiration of her love-struck football star will pale in comparison to Trump’s early praise. Let’s take a trip down memory lane to see how Trump went from gushing to grumbling about Swift.

Donald Trump’s Past Admiration for Taylor Swift Before His Disdain

In Ramin Setoodeh’s book Apprentice in Wonderland: How Donald Trump and Mark Burnett Took America Through the Looking Glass, Donald Trump couldn’t stop talking about Taylor Swift’s beauty.

Trump marveled at how a country star could be so successful while holding liberal views. He repeated his admiration several times, like a broken record stuck on ‘beautiful.’ According to Variety, he said:

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! She is liberal, or is that just an act? She’s legitimately liberal? It’s not an act? It surprises me that a country star can be successful being liberal.

This affection was pure and unblemished, reflecting a time before politics got in the way. Little did anyone know that this admiration would take a nosedive once Swift became politically vocal.

Donald Trump’s Swift Transformation—From Adoration to Abhorrence

The same Republican U.S. presidential candidate, Donald Trump, who once admired Taylor Swift, has now made his disdain for her loud and clear. In a dramatic twist, Trump took to his Truth platform and posted in all caps, “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!”

This sudden shift in attitude came after Swift endorsed Trump’s Democratic rival, Kamala Harris—an endorsement that didn’t sit well with him. It’s evident why Trump’s social media outburst stands in stark contrast to his previous praise.

Swift’s backing of Harris has garnered over 11 million ‘likes’ on Instagram, sparking speculation that it could boost Harris’ chances in the presidential race.

Clearly, Trump’s animosity is now out in the open and unmistakable. He no longer admires Swift’s talent but is instead grumbles his frustration over her political stance.
