Donald Trump says 'I hate Taylor Swift' after pop star endorses Kamala Harris

By: Shawn
Donald Trump has announced his dislike for Taylor Swift after she endorsed Kamala Harris in the November presidential race.

Swift expressed her support for Harris and running mate Tim Walz five days ago, just after the vice president challenged Trump.

The musician, who is 34 years old, stated on Instagram, "I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 presidential election," added, "I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos."

Liz Cheney, a former congresswoman and frequent Trump political opponent, summed up the common reaction to Sunday's post by recalling the title of a Swift song and commenting on X: "Says the smallest man who ever lived."

Meanwhile, Swift urged her followers to vote as she accepted the Video of the Year award at MTV's Video Music Awards presentation in Elmont, New York, on Wednesday evening.

"If you are over 18, please register to vote for something else that's very important … [the] presidential election," she told the crowd.

Though Trump now claims to despise Swift, it wasn't long ago that he evidently desired her endorsement. He shared pictures created by artificial intelligence that implied Swift had endorsed Trump for president in August.

One photo depicted Swift costumed as Uncle Sam, with the caption, "Taylor wants you to vote for Donald Trump."

The former president also shared deepfakes of young women sporting "Swifties for Trump" shirts on his Truth Social Account, commenting, "I accept!"

Swift stated that Trump's posts influenced her choice to make her endorsement.

"It really heightened my fears about AI and the dangers of spreading misinformation," she remarked on Instagram. "It brought me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter."

What is Bell's Palsy? Signs, triggers, and treatment options

Image
Bell’s palsy is a neurological disorder that causes temporary facial paralysis, typically affecting only one side of the face. This condition can result in symptoms such as a lopsided smile, difficulty closing one eyelid, and a drooping face. Though the condition is temporary for most, it can significantly impact daily life. Lil Nas X reveals he's been hospitalized, says he's 'lost control' of half his face. Getty Images The Causes of Bell’s Palsy The primary cause of Bell's palsy is inflammation of the seventh cranial nerve, also known as the facial nerve, which controls the muscles of the face. Inflammation can disrupt the nerve’s function, leading to facial paralysis. While viral infections are often linked to the condition, many cases do not have a clear cause, making them idiopathic (of unknown origin). • Viral infections that may trigger Bell’s palsy include: • Herpes simplex 1 (which causes cold sores) • Epstein-Barr virus (responsible for mononuc...

Jenna Ortega confirms 'Scream' exit was tied to Melissa Barrera firing, not scheduling

Image
‎In a candid interview with The Cut, Jenna Ortega clarified the long-speculated reason behind her departure from the Scream franchise, confirming it was not due to scheduling conflicts as previously reported, but rather her disillusionment with how the production handled the firing of co-star Melissa Barrera. ' Jenna Ortega. ' Getty Images ‎ ‎Ortega, who played Tara Carpenter in 2022’s Scream and 2023’s Scream VI, exited the franchise in November 2023—just one day after Barrera was dismissed over her pro-Palestinian social media posts. At the time, Ortega cited a "shooting schedule" conflict. However, she now admits that was not the truth. ‎ ‎“It had nothing to do with pay or scheduling,” Ortega told The Cut. “The Melissa stuff was happening, and it was all kind of falling apart. If ‘Scream VII’ wasn’t going to be with that team of directors and those people I fell in love with, then it didn’t seem like the right move for me in my career at the time.” ‎ ‎B...
