Donald Trump Says He Likes Taylor Swift’s Music A Lot Less After Her Political Statements

Following Taylor Swift’s decision to begin speaking about politics, many publications and celebrities praised Taylor and her recent choice to support a Democratic candidate in opposition to a Republican Senator. On Monday, even Donald Trump gave his opinion on Taylor Swift’s recent remarks.
As most of the singer’s fans know, she almost never speaks about politics in the press. In fact, celebrities such as Katy Perry have taken her to task for not talking about it, especially following the election of Donald Trump in 2016.
But on Sunday, Taylor took to her Instagram account to talk about the mid-terms coming up on the 6th of November in the state of Tennessee. On her Instagram, she said she has been “reluctant” to speak about politics thus far in her career, however a few experiences in her life led her down the political path.
Check out her post below:
When a reporter asked Trump about Taylor’s comments today, the president said, “Let’s say that I like Taylor’s music about 25% less now, Ok?”
Before, Trump had spoken positively about Taylor Swift, including in 2012, when he referred to her talents as being “fantastic” and “terrific.” In her post, the country-turned-pop-star said she’ll be supporting a former Tennessee governor, Bredesen, rather than Republican Representative Marsha Blackburn.
Swift claims that Marsha’s past votes have “appalled and terrified” her. While many individuals liked her comments, some of her more conservative fans weren’t pleased.
One conservative to disagree with the singer was Charlie Kirk, the founder of the non-profit student organization, Turning Point, who said on the Fox News Network on Monday that he liked Taylor when she “wasn’t political.”
Other celebrities to like her message includes Blake Lively, Katy Perry, and George Takei. Takei wrote on Twitter that things have become so severe in American politics that even Taylor Swift had to say something.
As you may know, this all comes on the heels of Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination in the Supreme Court following accusations of sexual assault from Dr. Christine Blasey Ford.
