Donald Trump decided the world needed to know that he “hates” Taylor Swift—again—this time claiming she’s “no longer hot.”

Swift’s political presence has grown steadily since 2018, when she began publicly endorsing Democratic candidates.

Trump famously said he liked her music “25 percent less” after that endorsement.

In a Truth Social post on May 16, Trump declared: “Has anyone noticed that, since I said ‘I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,’ she’s no longer ‘HOT?’”

The post, filled with signature Trump weirdness, quickly made the rounds online, because of course it did.

One Twitter account, Autism Capital, screenshotted the statement with the caption: “Trump woke up today and said ‘You know what it’s been a while since I blasted Taylor Swift.’” This was backed by Elon Musk.

Elon Musk’s fixation on Taylor Swift highlighted.

This isn’t Musk’s first digital flirtation—or attack—toward Swift.

Back in 2020, when Swift endorsed Kamala Harris, she warned followers about AI fakes and stressed her real political views.

She posted: “The simplest way to combat misinformation is with the truth.”

Swift signed the statement “childless cat lady,” a cheeky shot at JD Vance’s jab about Democratic women.

Musk’s response? “Fine Taylor … you win … I will give you a child and guard your cats with my life.”

Yep, he really said that.

And the obsession didn’t end there.

When Musk was accused of doing a Nazi salute at Trump’s inauguration, he tweeted an image comparing Swift to Hitler.

The image showed Hitler saluting next to Swift mid-performance, her arm raised while blowing a kiss.

Fans were quick to fact-check and defend Swift, pointing out she was clearly interacting with the crowd.

Musk’s pattern of invoking Swift in strange, unsettling ways has now become its own subplot.

Backlash for Elon Musk clarified.

Recently, Elon Musk apparently saw Trump’s Taylor Swift rant and thought, “You know what this needs? My seal of approval.”

When a meme surfaced of Swift onstage, paired with Pepe the Frog holding a ruler to her behind, Musk responded with a single emoji: 😂.

Subtle? Not even remotely.

Reddit users immediately pounced, accusing Musk of body-shaming Swift and fueling misogynistic attacks.

“They need to leave her the f**k alone,” one user snapped. “What’s their obsession with her?”

advertisement

Another theorized, “She’s their class peer as a billionaire, and they hate it.”

The backlash this time was swift—pun intended—with thousands calling Musk out for promoting a body-shaming meme.

“Elon really laughing at a ruler being held up to Taylor’s body? What the actual hell,” one user posted.

This latest pile-on feels less like political commentary and more like a schoolyard taunt with billions of dollars behind it.

Swift, meanwhile, hasn’t responded—but her fanbase certainly has.

Some believe the real reason for Trump and Musk’s repeated targeting of Swift runs deeper than meme culture.

“They don’t like powerful women. Especially ones who aren’t afraid to speak,” one comment read.

Elon Musk’s obsession with Taylor Swift continues to disturb public.

For Musk, his engagement with Swift has been consistently laced with strange attempts at humor and not-so-veiled jabs.

And while neither billionaire has offered an apology, the internet is making one thing very clear—Taylor Swift isn’t the one who looks bad here.
