Trump Claims He Is ‘More Popular’ Than Taylor Swift While Right-Wing Pundits Speculate She’s Planning To Endorse Biden At The Super Bowl

Former President Donald Trump reportedly bragged to aides that he is more popular than Taylor Swift after intense speculation by right-wing commentators that she is going to endorse President Joe Biden this year.

Swift has not issued an endorsement to any of the 2024 election candidates but endorsed Biden in 2020.

The singer made her endorsement by posting on social media a photo of a platter of homemade “Biden 2020” cookies.

Biden’s aides are hoping to sign her on as a campaign surrogate.

Some conservative commentators have floated conspiracy theories that the NFL season was rigged to offer a Super Bowl platform for the singer alongside her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, the tight end of the Kansas City Chiefs.

An adviser close to Trump told Rolling Stone magazine that the former president’s allies are getting ready for a “holy war” against Swift.

Trump privately argued that celebrity endorsements would not help Biden, asserting that he is “more popular” than Swift, and his fans are more dedicated than hers.

The former president reportedly said in December 2023 that it was ridiculous that the pop singer was declared Time Magazine’s Person of the Year in 2023 instead of him.

“Let’s say that I like Taylor’s music about 25% less now, ok,” Trump stated in 2018 after the singer endorsed former Tennessee Gov. Phil Bredesen and former Tennessee Rep. Jim Cooper, two Democrats who ran in Tennessee during the midterms that year.

In 2020, Swift accused the former president of putting the lives of millions of Americans at risk after his administration aimed to limit mail-in voting during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The singer-songwriter is already gaining significant attention from right-wing media.

“Does Taylor realize the guy that they want her to endorse is a kind of stumbling, bumbling mess, doesn’t have the energy to even give a 30-minute speech, let alone perform a three-hour concert like she does,” Fox News host Sean Hannity asked on January 30 during his commentary program, Hannity.

“He also is kind of very creepy,” he went on to say. “She may want to check out those creepy videos, they’re online.”

“Maybe she just bought into all the lies about conservatives and Republicans, that they are racist and sexist and homophobic and xenophobic and transphobic and Islamophobic,” Hannity stated. “And Republicans and conservatives want dirty air and water, and a total ban on all abortion with no exceptions.”

“If she believes all that, she is believing a lie,” the Fox News host declared. “Because those talking points are simply untrue.”

“Now, I’m just saying, maybe she wants to think twice before making a decision about 2024,” he concluded.

In 2019, during an acceptance speech she made at the MTV Video Music Awards, Swift slammed Trump’s administration for ignoring the Equality Act petition for LGBTQ rights.

The video she won for “You Need To Calm Down” features cameos from many gay and transgender celebrities like Laverne Cox, Jesse Tyler Ferguson and the cast of Queer Eye. It also ends with a call to sign the petition, which, at the time of her speech, had over 512,000 signatures.
