Former President Donald Trump recently revealed his thoughts on the pop singer Taylor Swift in a book detailing his life in reality TV. His focus? Her beauty.
“I think she’s beautiful — very beautiful! I think she’s very beautiful,” Trump shared, as reported by Variety co-editor-in-chief Ramin Setoodeh.
When questioned about Swift’s political leanings, Trump assumed she holds liberal views and might not be a fan of him. “She’s very gifted, I’ve heard. I think she’s very beautiful, actually — unusually beautiful!”
Swift, known for keeping her politics separate from her music, eventually made her political stance clear. Speculations once swirled that Swift might be Republican, but she broke her silence in 2018 by endorsing Tennessee Democratic Candidates Phil Bredesen and Jim Cooper.
Swift explained in her documentary Miss Americana that she had been hesitant about speaking out politically due to industry pressures to remain neutral. She expressed her change of heart by stating that she would actively stand up for human rights through her vote.
In an Instagram post from October 2018 featured in the film, Swift wrote, “I used to be hesitant to share my political opinions publicly, but recent events have changed my perspective.”
Swift took a stand against Trump’s actions and rhetoric, calling him out on social media and encouraging people to vote him out of office in the upcoming elections.
As for the 2024 elections, Swift has not yet announced any endorsements.
