Donald Trump says Taylor Swift will pay a price for supporting Kamala Harris – POLITICO

Trump also claimed he was not a Taylor Swift fan. “Actually, I like Mrs. Mahomes much better. She’s a huge Trump fan,” he said, referring to Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

Trump’s comments came after the American pop star expressed his support for Democratic candidate Harris in an Instagram post on Tuesday evening.

“I’m voting for Kamala Harris because she fights for the rights and causes that I believe need a fighter to represent them,” she wrote.

Swift also condemned the artificial intelligence-generated images that falsely portrayed her as a Trump supporter and were posted on the former president’s social media platform, Truth Social, last month.

“I recently became aware that a story was posted on his website in which ‘I’ falsely endorsed Donald Trump’s candidacy for president. This really heightened my fears about AI and the dangers of spreading misinformation,” Swift wrote.

“I’ve come to the conclusion that as a voter, I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election. The easiest way to combat misinformation is with the truth.”

Swift has been supporting Democratic candidates in U.S. elections since she became more open about her political leanings after years of being unclear earlier in her career. An Instagram post in 2020 urging her fans to register to vote on Vote.org led to a 1,226 percent increase in voter turnout on the site within an hour, the CEO said.
