Trump spent Super Bowl Sunday taking credit for Taylor Swift’s career, claiming she owes him and calling Swift disloyal.
What did Trump say about Taylor Swift?
Trump posted on Truth Social: “I signed and was responsible for the Music Modernization Act for Taylor Swift and all other music artists. Joe Biden did nothing for Taylor and he never will. There is no way she would support Crooked Joe Biden, the worst and most corrupt president in the history of our country, and be disloyal to the man who made her so much money. Besides, I like his boyfriend, Travis, even though he might be a liberal, and he probably can’t stand me!”
Why Taylor Swift shouldn’t support Biden
Do you know what else Donald Trump has done to Taylor Swift and all women in the United States? He appointed three Supreme Court justices who took away their right to make their own health care decisions and their freedom to control their own bodies.
Taylor Swift is the only person who deserves credit for her success. She was a star while Donald Trump snubbed her on reality TV, pretending to be a business titan.

Trump’s comments about Taylor Swift were significant because they revealed how the former president sees the world.
Donald Trump thinks everyone is selfish and motivated by money, just like him. Trump views governance as transactional. He did something for someone and now that person owes him loyalty forever.
Taylor Swift hasn’t said a word about the 2024 election, other than her ongoing efforts to get people to register and vote.
However, Swift is not obligated to say who she will vote for. She doesn’t need to support Biden for the Swifties to know it.
Trump and MAGA seem to be terrified of Taylor Swift’s potential political power.
