The Super Bowl is over, and this year the Kansas City Chiefs got a taste of the medicine they dished out in 2024 after falling 40-22 to the Philadelphia Eagles. And with every Super Bowl day, there were plenty of things besides the game itself that went viral.
- Kendrick Lamar’s halftime show stirred up many a reaction, but it was perhaps the contrasting figures of Donald Trump and Taylor Swift that took center stag
Swift was in attendance to support her boyfriend Travis Kelce, who was sadly unable to help the Chiefs retain the championship. Meanwhile, Donald Trump made history Sunday as the first sitting president to attend the Super Bowl, and cameras around the stadium made sure not to miss it.
Cameras also zoomed in on Taylor Swift, which prompted many in the audience to boo her. Swift herself was even seen reacting to all the negativity… while Donald Trump wasted no time brandishing his claws. He decided to mock the superstar singer on social media, which probably shouldn’t come as a surprise considering their rocky history
Swift said Donald Trump thinks the US “is an autocracy”
This was not the first and only time Swift and Trump’s beef would be aired in public. In a 2019 interview with The Guardian, the superstar described the atmosphere in the US as “gaslighting the American public into being like, ‘If you hate the president, you hate America’” and claimed that Trump believed they weren’t living in a democracy.
“We’re a democracy – at least, we’re supposed to be – where you’re allowed to disagree, dissent, debate. I really think that he thinks this is an autocracy.”
The feud between Trump Taylor Swift continued, with the singer lashing out at many of the president’s decisions during his first presidential term. When Trump later decided to run for president a second time in 2023, he embraced the song Justice for All, which was sung by a group of dissidents who had been incarcerated over their alleged roles on January 6.
It was played at many of Trump’s rallies in 2023, at one point jumping to the No.1 spot on iTunes. Later the same year, during a rally in Houston, Donald Trump mentioned the song – and Taylor Swift.
“It beat Taylor Swift, it beat Miley Cyrus, who was number one and two,” Trump said. “They were number one and two, we knocked them off for a long time.”
“There’s no way she could endorse Crooked Joe Biden”
It wasn’t a big surprise that Swift would endorse Joe Biden for the 2024 Presidential Election, and even though she never did it publicly, the picture was quite clear. Even so, Trump decided to take a shot at Swift, claiming credit for the 2018 Music Modernization Act. He further stated that the superstar singer would not endorse Biden’s re-election bid.
“I signed and was responsible for the Music Modernization Act for Taylor Swift and all other Musical Artists. Joe Biden didn’t do anything for Taylor, and never will,” Trump wrote on TruthSocial at the time.
“There’s no way she could endorse 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.”
