‘I Hate Taylor Swift’: Everything Donald Trump Has Ever Said About the Pop Star

From the moment Taylor Swift first spoke publicly about politics in 2018, the pop star has stood in opposition to Donald Trump — and the 45th president of the United States hasn’t kept quiet when it comes to her either.

Over the course of her evolution as a political advocate, Swift has done everything from call out Trump’s right-wing policies and incendiary language to urge her hundreds of millions of fans to vote against him in elections, with the “Blank Space” singer-songwriter more than once expressing regret over not doing more to prevent the politician from making it to the White House in 2016. Four years later, she promised Trump that the American people “will vote you out in November” after the then-president — whom she described as “stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism” — condemned the Black Lives Matter protests over George Floyd’s death.

As it turned out, Swift was right: Trump lost his re-election bid in 2020 to Joe Biden, who would initially run again in 2024 before dropping out of the race and passing the baton to his VP Kamala Harris. Through it all, the 14-time Grammy winner has remained steadfast in her resistance to Trump. Trump’s opinions on the musician, however, have been far less consistent, with the former president earning a reputation for praising Swift’s “unusually beautiful looks” one day and declaring his outright hatred of her the next.

From the pair’s early interactions long before either of them were politically involved to the heated criticisms they’ve lobbed at one another since, Swift and Trump go way back. Keep reading to see a timeline of everything the businessman-turned-president has ever said about the pop star below.
