In a recent interview with Fox & Friends, former President Donald Trump downplayed Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris’s 2024 presidential campaign, while also taking the opportunity to compliment Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
Trump stated that he was never a fan of Swift’s music and that her endorsement of Harris came as no surprise, given her liberal views. He also warned that Swift may face backlash for her political stance, saying she “will probably pay a price for it in the marketplace.”
Swift, who had previously supported Joe Biden’s presidential bid in 2020, announced her endorsement of Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, on Instagram following the presidential debate between Harris and Trump. In her post, Swift expressed her admiration for Harris’s leadership and commitment to fighting for various causes, including LGBTQ+ rights and women’s reproductive rights.
In response to Trump’s comments, Swift’s friend Brittany Mahomes received praise from the former president, who described her as a “big Trump fan” and a “MAGA fan.” However, it’s worth noting that Swift and Mahomes were recently spotted together at the US Open, dispelling rumors of a rift between the two friends.
Meanwhile, Tim Walz expressed his gratitude for Swift’s endorsement, saying he was “incredibly grateful” for her support and praising her courage in speaking out on important issues. Walz also shared a lighthearted moment, referencing their shared love of cats.
The exchange highlights the ongoing intersection of celebrity culture and politics, with Swift’s endorsement sparking both praise and criticism from various quarters. As the 2024 presidential election approaches, it remains to be seen how Swift’s support for Harris will impact the campaign.
