When asked about his opinion on Taylor Swift in the winter of 2023, former President Donald Trump was careful with his words. He acknowledged her star quality, stating that she is "unusually beautiful." However, he also questioned her political stance, as she had yet to endorse a candidate for the 2024 election, despite publicly endorsing President Joe Biden in 2020.
Trump continued to praise Swift's beauty, saying "I think she's beautiful - very beautiful!" He also expressed surprise at the idea of a country star being successful while being liberal. When author Ramin Setoodeh informed him that Swift had moved to pop music over a decade ago, Trump seemed unaware and continued to express his confusion about her political beliefs.
While Trump did compliment Swift's looks, he also cast doubt on her political affiliation, wondering if it was just an act. Setoodeh shared an excerpt from his book in which Trump questioned the idea of a liberal country star, using Garth Brooks as an example.
Trump also admitted to not knowing Swift's music well, further highlighting his lack of knowledge about her. Swift had been rumored to be a Republican during the 2016 election, but she clarified in 2018 by endorsing Democratic candidates for the Senate and House. In her 2020 documentary "Miss Americana," she stated that she wanted to be on the right side of history and publicly tweeted at Trump, vowing to vote him out in November.
It was reported that Biden's campaign had considered sending him to attend Swift's tour in an attempt to win her endorsement, which could potentially be worth millions of dollars. At the same time, Trump was reportedly baffled by Swift winning Time magazine's Person of the Year title in 2023 and claimed that his fans were more devoted to him than Swift's fans, known as "Swifties."
"Apprentice in Wonderland," a book about Trump and British TV producer Mark Burnett who created his hit show "The Apprentice," is set to be published on June 18.
