Donald Trump didn’t hold back when he reacted to Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Kamala Harris. The morning after his first presidential debate against Harris, Trump called into “Fox & Friends” with a salty response that quickly grabbed headlines.
Donald Trump sides with Brittany Mahomes against Taylor Swift
Rather than directly addressing Swift’s support for Harris, Trump took the opportunity to shift the spotlight to another public figure, Brittany Mahomes.
“I actually like Mrs. Mahomes much better,” Trump said, throwing a surprising comparison into the mix. “She’s a big Trump fan. I was not a Taylor Swift fan.” His tone, full of sarcasm, set the stage for what would become a heated discussion on social media.
Swift, who formally endorsed Harris for president just after the debate concluded, also called out Trump for previously using a fake image of her, falsely suggesting she was endorsing him. Trump shrugged off her criticism, dismissing Swift as “very liberal” and implying that her political choices would hurt her career. “She’s always endorsing a Democrat, and she’ll probably pay a price for it in the marketplace,” Trump claimed. But the former president didn’t stop there. He went on to praise Brittany Mahomes, wife of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, as someone he preferred over Swift.
Interestingly, Brittany Mahomes has her own connection to Swift through her husband’s teammate, Travis Kelce, who is currently dating the pop star. The two women were recently photographed together at the U.S. Open, where they appeared to be getting along well, despite their political differences. This moment between Swift and Brittany stirred up some online controversy, especially among Swifties who were surprised to see Brittany, a known Trump supporter, cozying up to Swift before the singer had publicly endorsed a candidate.
Taylor Swift officially endorses Kamala Harris: what did she say?
In her endorsement, Swift praised Kamala Harris for her leadership, writing that Harris “fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them.” Swift’s statement further highlighted her belief that Harris is a steady-handed leader who could guide the country in a more peaceful direction. “I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos,” Swift emphasized, taking an apparent dig at Trump’s often combative style.
Swift also expressed strong support for Harris’ running mate, Tim Walz, highlighting his long-standing advocacy for LGBTQ+ rights, women’s reproductive rights, and access to IVF. Her endorsement resonated with her fanbase, as Swift has increasingly used her platform to voice her political views in recent years. The endorsement added to the growing list of celebrities who have thrown their support behind Harris for the 2024 election, amplifying the campaign’s reach to younger voters.

Tim Walz reacted with gratitude to Swift’s endorsement, writing that he’s “incredibly grateful” and urging Swifties to visit Harris’ campaign website to learn more about how they could support the election.
As both sides continue to battle for votes in the lead-up to 2024, Trump’s jab at Swift and her support of Harris is likely to remain a topic of conversation, particularly among the millions of fans who follow these high-profile figures. Adding to the unexpected twists, Aaron Rodgers made a surprise appearance during Trump’s interview, creating a moment that was both unexpected and a further sign of the swirling dynamics between politics, sports, and pop culture.

Kevin Durant has wrapped up the Paris Olympics in remarkable fashion, becoming the only player in history to win four gold medals in men’s basketball. After returning from injury to lead Team USA, Durant’s performance has fueled high expectations for the Phoenix Suns in the upcoming NBA season.
Amid this success, Durant’s time with the Golden State Warriors has come back into focus, especially through the words of his mother, Wanda Durant. Wanda recently boldly stated that if Team USA’s top scorer had stayed with the Warriors team, they could have dominated the league for years.
“We would’ve had 20 rings by now. And it was about 10 years ago. That’s how cold they were,” Wanda said on the latest episode of TV One’s “Raising Fame.
Durant joined the Warriors in 2016 and quickly made an impact, leading the team to two consecutive championships in 2017 and 2018. However, after the 2018 season, Durant left Golden State and signed with the Brooklyn Nets. He departed after a difficult 2019 NBA Finals, where he suffered a ruptured Achilles while playing against the Toronto Raptors.
