Donald Trump certainly never hid the fact that he has a truly unhealthy distaste for Taylor Swift — but that anger and hatred is about to go nuclear, once he catches wind of Taylor’s new message to her Swifties.
Trump’s dislike of the Grammy-winning, world-renowned musician is undeniably born out of fear. Donald knows full and well that Taylor Swift is at her peak popularity, with literal billions of dollars in her bank account, and he’s well aware of the fact that she’s certainly no MAGA fan — and all of that combines to threaten the scandal-ridden former president in the worst kind of way.
Now, one of his worst Swift-fueled nightmares is coming true, after Taylor got political in her recent Super Tuesday message to her fans.
Taking to her Instagram Stories, the singer urged her millions of devoted fans to vote in their states’ primary elections, calling on Americans to “[V]ote the people who most represent YOU into power.”

Taylor’s full message to her fans and the American public read:
Today, March 5, is the Presidential Primary in Tennessee and 16 other states and territories.
I wanted to remind you guys to vote the people who most represent YOU into power. If you haven’t already, make a plan to vote today.
Whether you’re in Tennessee or somewhere else in the US, check your polling places and times at VOTE.ORG.”
Swift never even mentioned a particular political candidate by name — Vote.org is a nonpartisan site, with no political leanings, that only urges Americans to exercise their voting rights — but she doesn’t have to. Taylor has become a highly influential figure across the country and around the world and her ability to sway, especially with regard to US politics, is palpable, to say the least — no matter how many or how few words she uses.
This much was proven by Swift’s similar public message on Voter Registration Day last Fall when she made a public Instagram post that urged her followers to get registered to vote. This simple message from the pop star reportedly resulted in a staggering 30,000+ new voters in the United States — enough to potentially sway a local election.
USAToday reported that “the state where Swift had the biggest single-day impact was Texas, with about 2,700 new registrations, and 4,562 over the following 10 days. Overall, Texas has about 17.7 million registered voters.”
To make matters worse for Donald Trump, Newsweek published a poll in January that found 18 percent of voters would be “more likely” or “significantly more likely” to vote for a political candidate who had been endorsed by Taylor Swift.
While Swift threw her public support behind the Biden/Harris ticket in the 2020 election, the world-renowned pop star has yet to formally endorse anyone in the impending 2024 election — despite the unhinged Right-wing conspiracy theories that Swift is working as a psych-op for the Pentagon.
