He said that it is highly unlikely Swift would endorse President Joe Biden, given her past support and the impact of the Music Modernization Act during Trump’s presidency.
This act, for which Trump claims responsibility, modernized copyright laws in the digital streaming era, significantly benefiting musicians, including Swift. Trump argued that Swift, having profited from this legislation, would find it difficult to support Biden, whom he referred to as “the worst and most corrupt President in the History of our Country.”
In addition to his comments about Swift, Trump also mentioned his liking for her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end. He humorously noted his appreciation for Kelce, despite believing Kelce might not be a fan of his.
Trump’s prediction regarding Swift’s endorsement comes despite her previous political stances. Swift openly endorsed Biden in the 2020 presidential election and has expressed regret for not publicly supporting Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election.
The topic of Swift’s potential political endorsement is gaining traction in the media. For instance, the hosts of The View talk show speculated that Republicans might have cause for concern regarding her influence.
Swift’s significant social media presence, including her 280 million Instagram followers, amplifies her political influence. Her call for voter registration last year led to a noticeable spike in registrations and visits to the Vote.org website.
This development continues to stir discussions about celebrity involvement in politics and the impact of their endorsements on public opinion and voter behavior.
