Former President Donald Trump claimed on Truth Social that he was responsible for the Music Modernization Act, which he signed in 2018, and accused Joe Biden of not doing anything for Taylor Swift. Trump went on to criticize Swift for endorsing Biden, calling him “Crooked Joe Biden” and alleging that she was disloyal to him. He also expressed his fondness for Swift’s boyfriend, Travis, despite their political differences.
Trump’s remarks came after reports that Biden’s campaign was seeking Swift’s endorsement, leading to conspiracy theories about the NFL postseason being rigged to favor the Chiefs so that Swift could deliver the endorsement in front of a large TV audience. Despite endorsing Biden in 2020, Swift has not indicated whether she plans to weigh in on the current political landscape.
The heated exchange between Trump and Swift highlights the intersection of politics and celebrity endorsements, as well as the ongoing tension between the two public figures. It also underscores the influence that musicians like Swift can have on the political sphere, as their endorsements and public statements can potentially sway public opinion.
