Trump Brags How He Has Succeeded In Making Singer Taylor Swift ‘Less Hot’

US President Donald Trump is now coming out claiming credit for what he termed as the dwindling popularity of singer Taylor Swift.

On Friday, Trump suggested that his subtle dig at Taylor Swift last year has hurt her popularity and made her less hot.

"Has anyone noticed that, since I said "I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT," she's no longer "HOT?"," the president wrote in a Truth Social post Friday, as he flew back from the Middle East to the U.S. after the first major overseas trip of his second term.

A White House official told CBS News: "As a business and entertainment mogul President Trump is highly qualified to comment on the rise and fall of various celebrities," including Swift.

Last year, towards the elections, Donald Trump posted "I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!" last fall, days after Swift endorsed former Vice President Kamala Harris. Swift's Eras tour was still in progress at the time. The post was quickly overshadowed by news of a second assassination attempt against Trump hours later.

At the time, it wasn't clear what prompted Trump's mid-air musing about Swift.

The pop megastar has been keeping a lower public profile in recent weeks. Her Eras tour has ended, and boyfriend Travis Kelce's football season is over.

Swift fans caught a glimpse of her at a Mother's Day brunch in Philadelphia with the Kelce family, but she's been photographed less frequently, except for the occasional date night, since the Kansas City Chiefs lost their Super Bowl bid.

Swift has endorsed Trump's opponents twice, backing former President Joe Biden in 2020 and Vice President Kamala Harris in 2024.

Last year, she suggested she endorsed Harris in part because Mr. Trump had shared images on Truth Social that implied Swift supported him. 

In endorsing Harris, Swift said she was "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." 

Trump responded to the endorsement by saying, "I like Taylor's music about 25% less now," adding that Swift "doesn't know anything about" Blackburn.
