In the cacophonous battleground of U.S. politics, former President Donald Trump is known for engaging in popularity contests, but his latest preoccupation pits him against an unconventional rival: pop music icon Taylor Swift.
Allegedly, former President Donald Trump has privately asserted his superior popularity compared to pop sensation Taylor Swift, amid rumors of her potential endorsement of President Joe Biden for the 2024 election.
Sources close to Trump, as reported by Rolling Stone, claim that the former president boasted of being “more popular” than Swift. Additionally, he purported that his supporters exhibited greater dedication than Swift’s fanbase, known as “Swifties.” While Trump enjoys unwavering support from his base, Swift’s fans are renowned for their fervent loyalty to her.
Reportedly, Trump has not expressed concern regarding the prospect of Swift or other A-list celebrities endorsing Biden, citing confidence in his steadfast supporter base.
Trump also questioned why Swift was chosen over him for the Time Person of the Year award in 2023, expressing confusion as to why it “obviously” didn’t add up.
Allies of Trump, including operatives linked to his former administration and those involved in his current campaign, have been aware of the possibility of Taylor Swift endorsing Joe Biden for some time. This concern has been raised with Trump by certain allies in recent months, as reported by Rolling Stone.
While Taylor Swift has not exhibited any recent inclination to involve herself in the 2024 election, her immense and devoted fan base has positioned her as a coveted surrogate for the Biden campaign and a potential challenge for the Trump campaign.
Furthermore, discussions surrounding Swift’s relationship with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, coupled with the team’s advancement to the 2024 Super Bowl, have amplified conversations about the duo’s considerable popularity. Swift’s attendance at NFL games to support Kelce has attracted new viewers to football matches, with Sunday’s AFC championship game reportedly becoming the most-viewed ever, according to CBS.
